, Cyril for Semi-Arianism: but this is altogether a mistake.
For Acacius himself was at that time a Semi-Arian, and in 341, in
the council of Antioch, affirmed Christ to be like, though not equal
to his Father. It was only in 358, that he closed in with Eudoxius,
and the other rigid Arians. And as to St. Cyril, it is also clear
from the facts above mentioned, and from his writings, that he
always professed the Catholic faith with regard to the article of
the Consubstantiality of the Son of God. This is demonstrated by Dom
Toutee, in his life of St. Cyril, and by his colleague Dom Mares, in
his dissertation on the Semi-Arians, printed at Paris, in 1721, to
vindicate this father against a certain author in the memoirs of
Trevoux, an 1721.

c. 1. A very emphatical expression in the mouth of a pagan. He seems
by it to ascribe sense to the element, by which he discovers the
finger of God visibly detesting the obstinacy of the undertaking,
and a renewal of the eruption so often, till it overcame the
rashness of the most obstinate.

crosses were shaded with s dark color: but this without any real
contradiction to St. Gregory's relation of the matter, because, like
the phosphorus, they were {} a darkish hue by day, and lucid by
night.
