rough whom the whole
blessed Trinity is glorified and adored, through whom the precious cross
is honored and venerated over the whole world, through whom heaven
exults, the angels and archangels rejoice, the devils are banished, the
tempter is disarmed, the creature that was fallen is restored to heaven,
and comes to the knowledge of the truth, through whom holy baptism is
instituted, through whom is given the oil of exultation, through whom
churches are founded over the whole earth, through whom nations are
brought to penance. And what need of more words? Through whom the only
begotten Son of God has shone the light to those who sat in darkness and
in the shade of death, &c.--What man can celebrate the most praiseworthy
Mary according to her dignity?"

4. It is very unjust in some moderns to charge him as conscious of so
horrible a crime, which shocks human nature. Great persons are never
to be condemned without proofs which amount to conviction. The
silence of Orestes, and the historian Socrates, both his declared
enemies, suffices to acquit him.
5. We have nothing further of the life of this father, until the year
428, when his zeal was first exerted in defence of the faith against
Nestorianism: we shall introduce this period of his labors with some
account of the author of this heresy.

8. They have a liturgy under the name of Nestorius, and two others
which they pretend to be still more ancient. See Renaudot, liturg.
orient. t. 2, and Le Brun, liturg. t. 3. The former contains a clear
profession of transubstantiation and the sacrifice of the mass.

THE WRITINGS OF ST. CYRIL

OF ALEXANDRIA.

The old Latin translations of the works of this father were extremely
