to employ your joint Interest in my Behalf, that I may be recalled from Banishment, and suffered to return to the See, which God has been pleased to commit to my Care_[767]. [Sidenote: _He is anathematized by_ Hilarius. _His Letter to the Bishops at Court_;] This Letter has been conveyed to us by the great _Hilarius_, Bishop of _Poitiers_, who, in relating it, not able to restrain the just Indignation it kindled in his Breast, interrupts the Recital Three times, to anathematize the Author of it, the _prevaricating Liberius_, as he styles him[768]. He writ likewise to _Ursacius_, _Valens_, and _Germinius_, who bore great Sway at Court, and were at the Head of the _Arian_ Faction in the West, to acquaint them, that he communicated with them, and also with _Auxentius_ and _Epictetus_, Two of the most inveterate Enemies the Orthodox had; and that whoever did not communicate with them, that is, every Catholic Bishop, was cut off from his Communion. These Words _Hilarius_ cannot repeat without anathematizing anew _Liberius_, and all the _Arians_ with him. In the same Letter he lets them know, that he has separated himself from the Communion of _Athanasius_, _late Bishop of_ Alexandria, acknowleging him, by that Expression, lawfully deposed. He declares, in the Beginning of his Letter, and calls God to witness, that it is not by Compulsion, but merely for the sake of Peace and Charity, far preferable to Martyrdom itself, that he writes to them. He conjures them, by the omnipotent God, by his Son _Jesus_, by the Holy Ghost, to intercede for him with the Emperor, that, by his Return, Peace and Tranquillity may be restored to the Church committed to his Care; assuring them, that the Zeal they exert in so pious, so just a Cause, will meet with a proportionable Reward in Heaven[769].
