Trid sessio 24,De Matr., can. 10,It is curious to note that while Eustathius and his followers held all marriage to be sinful, Luther (at least at one time) taught that it was a sin for anyone to remain unmarried who could “increase and multiply!” The Synod of Gangra in this canon sets forth the unchanging position of the Cathoilc Church upon this point).

1 Lightfoot adopts Laurents’ emendation and reads nvto). Sigavto has also been suggested and Hort’s thinks sthvtw to be the genuine reading. It all comes to the same thing, however, the meaning being perfectly clear).
1 Most interesting literature on the whole eubject will be found in conoexion with the frescoes and cups, etc., found in the catacombs).
1 Hefele thinks this list of provinces is probably an interpolation. In the Latin version this letter is followed by the names of the bishops).
1 This is the title in the codices of Zoraras; the Parisian edition of Balsamon simply reads “The Synod at Antioch.” The Bodleian ms. reads “Canons of the Synod at Antioch in Syria.”
2 There seems but little doubt that the Gregorian Calendar will be introduced before many years into Russia).
1 I confess I do not know what the phrase katav tina ajtaxivan means, nor do the Greek Commentators give much help. I have translated “by reason of some disorder” in the canon itself, and in the notes, but Beveridge renders it propter aliquam insolentiam, which to me appears very unsatisfactory. The pro quoedam intemperantia of the ordinary Latin seems no better. The same word is used in the next canon).
1 Hefele seems to have overlooked this. The note referring to the Apostolic Canons is all wrong (p.68, n. 1).
1 Hefele on the preceding page (p.61, n. I) says “Of course the sentence or canon to which the adversaries of Chrysostom referred must he distinguished from the fourth and twelfth true Antiochan canons. It seems somewhat difficult to reconcile this with what I have cited above, and with the following (p.65): ”“In the affair of St. Chrysostom the canon employed against him was represented as proceeding from the Arians. and all attempts to deny its identity with our fourth and twelfth Antiochian canons are fruitless”).
1 Pagi: crit. in Annal. Baron., a.d. 314, n. 25,Baronius’s view that this synod was held before that of Nice because the book of Judith is not mentioned among the books of the 0. T., and because its canons are sometimes identical with those of, Nice, is universally rejected.

1 Such is the caption in the Parisian edition of Zonaras; so too reads the Amerbachian codex; adding, however, that the number of canons is 60, and substituting for “Pacatiana” “Capatiana”, a not unusual form of the same word).

7 The ms. from which this was printed was found in a library in Arezzo. Silvia was a lady of rank, living in the times of Theodosius, who madea pligrimage to Jerusalem and the Holy Places from Meridian Gaul To us the chief interest of her book lies in the account she gives of the services.

Rome, 1887, and again in the Studi e Documenti di storia e dir itto, April-September, 1888, and the liturgical parts in in appendix to Duchesne.

F. W. Puller, The Primitive Saints and See of Rome.pp.174 and 238.
Many attempts have been made to explain this fact away, but without success. Not only was the president of the Council a persona non grata to the Pope, but the memhers of the Council were well aware of the fact, and much pleased that such was the case, and Hefele acknowledges that the reason the council determined to continue the Meletian Schism was because allowing Panlinus to succeed to Meletins would be “too great a concession to the Latins” (vol.III., p.346).
4 F. J. A. Hort, Two Dissertations. I. On monogevne" Qevo" in Scripture and tradition, II. On the Constantinopolitan Creed and other Eastern Creeds of the 4th Century. It should he added that Dr. Hort acknowledges that, “we may well believe that they [i.e. the 150 fathers of Constantinople] had expressed approval ”of the creed ordinarily attributed to them (p. 115). The whole dissertation is a fine example of what Dr. Salmon so well called Dr. Hort’s “perfervidum ingenium as an advocate,” and of his “exaggeration of judgment.” (Salmon). Criticism of the Text of the New Testament, p.12, also see p.34). Swainson. in his The Nicene and Apostles’ Creeds, has all the material points found in Hort’s Dissertation.Harnack goes much further. He is of opinion that the Creed of Constantinople (as we call it), the Creed which has been the symbol of orthodoxy for fifteen hundred years, is really a Semi-Arian, anti-Nicene, and quasi Macedonian confession ! The first contention he supports, not without a show of plausibility, by the fact that it omits the words (which were really most crucial) “that is to say of the substance of the Father.” In support of the second opinion he writes as follows: “The words [with regard to the Holy Ghost] are in entire harmony with the form which the doctrine of the Holy Spirit had in tbe sixties. A Pueumatochian could have subscribed this formula at a pinch; and just because of this it is certain that the Council of 381 did not accept this creed.” Some scholars arrive at “certainty” more easily than others, even Harnack himself only attains this “certainty” in the foot-note! The reader will remark that what Harnack is “certain ”of in the foot-note is that the Council “did not accept” this creed, not that it “did not frame” it, which is entirely a different question. (Adolf Harnack, History of Dogma, [Eng. Trans.], Vol. iv., p.99)).

4 This would be the year 374, that is to say seven years before this Second Ecumenical Council which was held at Constantlinople in 381).
5 In fact the contention of the Latins was that the words were inserted by II. Nice! To this the Easterns answered most pertinently “Why did you not tell ns this long ago?” They were not so fortunate when they insisted that St. Thomas woud have quoted it, for some scholars have thought St. Thomas but ill acquainted with the proceedings at the Seventh Synod.

1 On the whole subject of the prayers of the Saints see H. R. Percival, The Invocation of Saints. (Longmans. London, 1896). I have the less hesitation in referring to my own work as it is, so far as I can discover, the only book In the English language devoted to an historical and theological consideration of the subject. Of course the subject is treated of cursorily in numerous theological treatises and dictionaries).
1 Such is the caption in the old Greek codices. The vijth of the Ides is July 9th. “From this (says Hefele) we may conclude that this synod which according to Socrates E., V. 8) begun May 381, lasted until July of that year.”
2 The theological views of Gess and Ebrard I know only from the statements of them in writers on the subject of the Incarnation, especially from those made by the Ap A B. Bruce, D D., Professor at Free Church College, Glasgow, in his work “The Humiliation of Christ.” (Lecture IV). The following passage cited by Dr. Bruce) seems to prove his contention so far as Gess is concerned. “Dass eine wahrhaft menschliche Seele in Jesu war. versteht sich für und von selbt: er war ja sonst kein wirlicher Mensch. Aber die Frage ist, ob der in’s Werden eingegangene Logos selbst diese menschliche Seele, oder oh neben dem in’s Werden eingegangenen Logos noch eine becondere menschliche Seele in Jesu war ?” (Gess). Die Lehre 5,d. Person Christi, ii.. p.321). Bruce understands Gess to teach that “The only difference between the Logos and a human soul was, that he became human hy voluntary kenosis, while an ordinary human soul derives its existence from a creative act.” (And refers to Gess, ut supra, p.325 et seqq). For Ebrard’s view, see his Christliche Dogmatik, II., p.40. Ritschl dubbed the whole kenotic theory as “Verschümter Socinianismus.”

3 For some reason this canon does not seem to be any more acceptable to modern champions of the Papacy than it was to the Church of Rome fifteen hundred years ago. I give as a sample of this thefollowiug from a recent Roman Catholic writer :“The decree which goes by the name of the Third Canon of Constantinople was the germ of the successful mendacity of the arch-rebel Photius.” (Rivington). The Prim Ch., p.263). The phraseology seems to suggest warm discontent at the canon).

2 This passage is very difficult and I have followed the Latin in omitting one Qeovn).
3 There is a most curious blunder in the editing of this Epistle in Migne, where this passage, which is but one text, viz.: Isaiah 25,8 is made into two, the first few words being assigned in the margin to Hosea, 13,14. As a matter of fact the whole sentence is turned into nonsense by making the words kai; pavlin as a connective supplied by St. Cyril. What the text really says is that Death prevailed indeed, but God wiped away again the tears death had caused. The same error is found in the letter as it occurs in Labbe and Cossart, and it should be remarked that it is both in the Greek and Latin. I rather suspect that St. Cyril had a purer text of the LXX. than ours which read—“And he hath swallowed death up and hath wiped away, etc.,” as the Vulgate and A. V. read. This is the reading the context certainly seems to call for.

1 The editor of the English translation to this reference adds the following note: “This is the reference in the original; but the editor is unable to say to what it refers.” (!) (Hefele, Hist. of the Councils, Vol.III.. p.36, n. 3). “(Ex utero ante Luciferum genui te,” the third verse of the Psalm Dixit Dominus, cix., by the Hebrew numbering 110,
1 Complaint of all this has very justly been made recently by the Rev. Lc Rivington, a Romau Catholic writer, in his work The Primitive Church and the See of Peter, p 336.
1 It should be noted that in the Ac Cyril is described as having “the place of the most holy and sacred Archbishop of the Roman Church C(lestine.” Hefele says “that Cyril presided as Pope’s vicar is asserted also by Mennas of Constantinople and other Greek bishops in their letter to Pope Vigilius, in Mausi, t. ix., p. 62; Hardouin,t . iii.. p.10.” (Hef.,Hist. of the Councils, Vol.111., p.46, n. 4).
2 This seems to me to be the climax of improbable statements. There are many other things which will induce the curious reader to suspect that the Ac are not in good shape).
1 This letter we know was originally written in Latin, and that it was tsanslated into Greek and then read afterwards in that language to the Council. There would seem to be no doubt that the Greek text we now find in the Ac is that first translation, but whether the Latin is the original or whether it is a translation back again from the Greek is not known, so far as I am aware. Certainly the Latin is of the most extraordinary character. and suggests that it was the work of one not skilled in that tongue. The text in several places is manifestly corrupt and the Greek and Latin do not always agree. If I may venture to express an opinion I should say that the Greek was more lucid. Although in nineteen places Labbe considers the true reading uncertain).

1 The text, as the side note remarks, “seems to be mutilated and depraved ”in this passage, but the meaning is clear enough as given by Hefele in the note).
1 This whole paragraph reads with material differences in the Latin. Moreover while the Greek text is clear and grammatical, the Latin is most incorrect and halting. Leo is described as “Pope of the city of Rome,” instead of “bishop of Rome.”
2 This statement, so absolutey contrary to fact. has been a sore dificulty to the commentators. Arendt (Leo the Great and his Times, § 270) says that this meant only that “he had, without permission of the Pope, taken the presidency there, and conducted the proceedings, for Leo himself had acknowledged the synod by the fact that he allowed his legates to be present at it.” Almost the same is the explanation of the Ballerini (Leo M). Opera, Tom. 2,460. n. 15).

1 The reader may like to see the vow on this subject taken by King Charles I. of England, and which was made public by Archbishop Sheldon after the Restoration. The vow is as follows “I do here promise and solemnly vow, in the presence and service of Almighty God, that if it shall please the Divine Majesty of his infinitegoodness to restore me to my just Kingly rights, and to re-establish me in my throne. I will wholly give back to his Church all those impropriations which are now held by the Crown; and what lands soever I do now or should enjoy, which have been taken away either from any episcopal see or any cathedral or collegiate church, from any abbey or other religious house, I likewise promise for hereafter to hold them from the Church under such reasonable fines and rents as shall he set down by some conscientious persons, whom I propose to choose with all uprightness of heart to direct me in this particular And I humbly beseech God to accept of this my vow, and to bless me in the design I have now in hand through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

1 The following is Hefel’s note (Hist. Councils, Vol. IV., p.226, note 1):
“Paragagei`n can in no way be translated, as it has hitherto been, by pr(tergressus or ‘passed over0’: ‘That Christ has gone over to all corporeity on heaven and earth,0’ which gives no sense). Paravgein means here, like paragwgev in the second anathematism, creare producere ‘create0’, ‘bring into existence.0’ Suicer, in his Thesaurus, completely overlooked this. Cf. Stephani, s. vv paravgw and paragwghv.”
1 The reader should carefully study the entire tractate of the Emperor against Origen of which these anathematisms are the conclusion. It is found in Labbe and Cossart, and in many other collections.
2 The text is, I think corrupt, at all events the Latin and Greek do not agree).
1 In this sentence I have followed De Marca’s Latin version, but I must confess that I am not at all satisfied with the construing of the long phrase beginning Ou)tw" w,").
2 The reader will notice that this is hardly distinguishable from the “moral growth” and “ethical development” which the modern “kenotists” attribute to the Incarnate Son of God).
3 i.e). a.d. 553.
4 The last sentence of the Constitutum, the sentence which the Pope gave and which the council rejected, is as follows: “We ordain and decree that it be permitted to no one who stands in ecclesiastical order of office, to write or bring forward, or undertake, or teach anything contrary to the contents of this Constitutum in regard to the Three Chapters. or, after this declaration begin a new controversy about them. And if anything has already been done or spoken in regard of the Three Chapters in contradiction of this our ordinance by anyone whomsoever, this we declare void by the authority of the Apostolic See.” It is perfectly clear that the Emperor is the “anyone” referred to).
