titude were not enlisted on the side of the Monothelites. In the next
generation, when the son of Constantine was deposed and slain by the
disciple of Macarius, they tasted the feast of revenge and dominion:
the image or monument of the sixth council was defaced, and the original
acts were committed to the flames. But in the second year, their patron
was cast headlong from the throne, the bishops of the East were released
from their occasional conformity, the Roman faith was more firmly
replanted by the orthodox successors of Bardanes, and the fine problems
of the incarnation were forgotten in the more popular and visible
quarrel of the worship of images. [107]

[Footnote 101: This extraordinary, and perhaps inconsistent, doctrine of
the Nestorians, had been observed by La Croze, (Christianisme des
Indes, tom. i. p. 19, 20,) and is more fully exposed by Abulpharagius,
(Bibliot. Orient. tom. ii. p. 292. Hist. Dynast. p. 91, vers. Latin.
Pocock.) and Asseman himself, (tom. iv. p. 218.) They seem ignorant that
they might allege the positive authority of the ecthesis. (the common
reproach of the Monophysites) (Concil. tom. vii. p. 205.)]

[Footnote 102: See the Orthodox faith in Petavius, (Dogmata Theolog.
tom. v. l. ix. c. 6--10, p. 433--447:) all the depths of this
controversy in the Greek dialogue between Maximus and Pyrrhus, (acalcem
tom. viii. Annal. Baron. p. 755--794,) which relates a real conference,
and produced as short-lived a conversion.]

[Footnote 103: Impiissimam ecthesim.... scelerosum typum (Concil. tom.
vii p. 366) diabolicae operationis genimina, (fors. germina, or else the
Greek in the original. Concil. p. 363, 364,) are the expressions of
the xviiith anathema. The epistle of Pope Martin to Amandus, Gallican
bishop, stigmatizes the Monothelites and their heresy with equal
virulence, (p. 392.)]

[Footnote 104: The sufferings of Martin and Maximus are described with
simplicity in their original letters and acts, (Concil. tom. vii. p.
63--78. Baron. Annal. Eccles. A.D. 656, No. 2, et annos subsequent.) Yet
the chastisement of their disobedience had been previously announced in
the Type of Constans, (Concil. tom. vii. p. 240.)]

[Footnote 105: Eutychius (Annal. tom. ii. p. 368) most erroneously
supposes that the 124 bishops of the Roman synod transported themselves
to Constantinople; and by adding them to the 168 Greeks, thus composes
the sixth council of 292 fathers.]
