Reinstated in their sees if vacant ; heretics of all shades were invited to return from exile. The breadth of his toleration has been manufactured into an accusation : he has been abused for recalling not only the orthodox bishops, but also ^ suffering Arians, Semi-Arians, and Novatiana to flock back unhindered, and even rehabilitating Donatists^ and Circum- cellions in the... political rights of which preceding Emperors had deprived them. For such a course it is easy to impute sinister motives ^ but it would have been a breach of prin- ciple to penalise opinions, and most certainly a hard matter to draw the line between their civil and their dogmatic offences ; restitution of their rights was the most equitable course, leaving it perfectly open to any one to prosecute the heretics for any criminal misdemeanour. Julian, no doubt, had the political sagacity to leave Arians and Catholics and Sects to fight out their own quarrels, but it is unfair to make that the motive of his policy of toleration.
