A book full full of blafhemies against the son of God a book that hath been reimprinted in England without the knowledge of the superior powers A book which deserues to be burnt and it is said it hath been the Printers and furtherers thereof worthy to be punished but O Lord how long we read a notable example in the Ecclesiasticall history Amphilochius an orthodox Bishop in Licaonia made a request unto the Emperour Theodosius to be pleased to make a decree for the banishment of the Arrians out of his Empire but the Emperours rejected it as an unjust and cruell request and which could not be executed without danger Now the Bishop thought on a way how the Emperour might be moved to consent to his request He came one day with other Bishops to the imperiall Court Theodor l. 5 c. 16. at the time that the Emperour Theodosius sat on his throne and Arcadius his son sitting on his side newly designed Emperour with him to congratulate them which the Bishops did and did congratulate both the Emperour and his son Arcadius but Amphilochius did bow to the Emperour Theodosius with all reverence and humility but he did it not to his son Arcadius the Emperour thought he did not do reverence to his son either because he saw him not or by forgetfulnesse shews him his son and adviseth him to salute and honour him but Amphilochius told him He that honours the Father honoureth the son the Emperour taking this act this fact to heart with a kind of indignation replyed unto him He that dishonoureth the Son dishonoureth the Father and commands those about him to cause him to avoid the Court.
