John Chrysostom on the Saint.] HE famous Council of Nicsea met in the year 325, to hear and to condemn the teaching of Arius. Among the Syrian bishops present, the first in dignity was the orthodox Eusta- thius, who either was, or was on the point of being made, patriarch of Antioch, the capital of Syria, the metropolis of the Eastern Church, then called ' the city of God.' He had suffered in heathen persecutions, and was destined to suffer in Christian persecutions also.^ But he was chiefly known for his learning and elo- quence, which was distinguished by an antique sim- plicity of style. One work alone has come down to us, I Soz, ii. 10. VOL. VIII. I « =* *- * 400 Lzves of the Saints. d"'^ "«• on the ' Witch of Endor.'^ He had been bishop of Bersea, and was a native of Sidon in Pamphylia. S. Paulinus, bishop of Antioch, had died that same year, and Eusta- thius was designated to fill his place. When the emperor Constantine entered the great hall where the Council of the bishops sat, Eustathius of Antioch, who, accord- ing to Theodoret, sat on the right hand of the throne, addressed the emperor, thanked God for him, and the blessing he had given to the Church of peace and an opportunity of assembling in council. For a few years Eustathius occupied his patriarchal throne in tran- quillity. But the Arian party, after its defeat at Nicaea, gathered its strength, surrounded the emperor, and trouble fell on the Catholics. The Eusebian party—the chiefs of whom were the Nicomedian Eusebius, —his namesake of Csesarea,—Aca- cius, the pupil of the latter,—George, whom Alexander of Alexandria had deposed from the priesthood, —Leon- tius, a smooth, cautious man, —Eudoxius, afterwards notorious for his profanity, —and Valens, bishop of Mursa in Pannonia, who became equally conspicuous by shameless want of truth,—had but one definite object before them, to undo the work of Nicaea. These tactics were, to maintain the hold they had obtained over the emperor; to get rid of the leading Catholic bishops; and to propagate Arianism in forms less flagrantly offensive to the general Christian feeling than those which the Council had condemned. Their first victim was Eustathius. The patriarchal see of Antioch had suffered much in the third century by the scandal of an heretical occupant. It was now to pass through sufferings from the effect of which it never quite recovered. Eustathius had maintained a ' in this he attempts to show against Origen, that the witch did not recall the ghost of Samuel, but that by the power of Satan the imagination of Saul and the woman were impressed with a phantom vision. * ' * ; ® ^ juiytfij 6". Bustathius. 401 firm demeanour towards the Arians, he would never admit them to communion,^ He had expressed his dis- trust of the orthodoxy of Eusebius of Csesarea, and two other bishops.^ Eusebius retorted by the charge of Sabellianism, which Arians always brought against the Catholics. Bent on his ruin, Eusebius, the wily bishop of Nicomedia, pretended that he had a great desire to visit Jerusalem, and the magnificent church buUt there by the emperor. He departed accordingly Constantine furnishing him with carriage and all the cost of his journey. Theognis of Nicsea, his confidant, departed with him. On reaching Antioch they pre- tended firiendship for Eustathius, and were received with kindness and hospitality. On reaching JerusalCTa they met Eusebius of Ceesarea, Patrophilus of ScythopoHs, Aetius of Lydda, Theo- dotus of Laodicsea, and other Arians. To them they discovered their design, and the whole party of bishops went to Antioch, under pretext of accompanying Euse- bius of Nicomedia, as an act of courtesy. On reaching Antioch, a councU was summoned, which was attended by S. Eustathius and some other Catholic prelates, who were ignorant of the plot. When aU were assembled, the public were excluded at the request of the Arians, and they then introduced a profligate woman with an infant at her breast, whom they had suborned to accuse Eustathius of being its fether. S. Eustathius indignantly demanded some evidence to substantiate this odious charge. There was none but that of the miserable woman, who was put upon her oath ; and then, with one voice, the Arian prelates condemned him to lose his bishopric. The other bishops, who were not of the plot, peremptorily ' S. Ath.
