" They meet to triumph over their adversaries, rather ^than dispassionately to investigate truth. Each is ^ committed to his opinions, each exasperated by oppo- ** sition, each supported by a host of intractable follow- * ers, each probably with exaggerated notions of the ^ importance of the question, and that importance seems ^ to increase, since it has demanded the decision of a ^general assembly of Christendom" Let us approach the Council of Nicsea with these humbler expectations, and we sha...ll be agreeably sur- prised to find how many incidents of moderation and charity and simplicity it contains amidst much fierce animosity, and much pardonable enthusiasm.
There is a well-known, perhaps somewhat flippant, passage, in which Jortin remarks on the possible mo- tives by which such an assembly would be influenced : — **It may be," he says, "by reverence to the Emperor, " or to his counsellors and favorites, or the fear of ofiend- " ing some great prelate (as the Bishop of Alexandria or ^'of Bome), who had it in his power to insult, vex, and ** plague all the bishops within and without his jurisdic- " tion ; by the dread of passing for heretics, and of being « calumniated, reviled, hated, anathematized, excommu- "nicated, imprisoned, banished, fined, beggared, starved, "if they refused to submit: by the love of peace and "quiet; by the hatred of contention; by compliance " with an active body and imperious spirit ; by a defeF- "ence to the majority; by a love of dictating and dom- "ineering, of applause and respect; by vanity and am- " bition ; by a total ignorance of the questicm in debate, " or a total indifference about it ; by private Mendships ; "by enmity and resentment; by old prejudices; by "hopes of gain; by an indolent disposition; by good- " nature and the fiitigue of attending ; by the desire to Lbot.
