His Followers were known by the Name of _Bonosiacs_ or _Bonosians_; and Mention is made of them by Pope _Gregory_, towards the Latter-end of the Sixth Century[N37.1]. That Pope writes, as does likewise _Gennadius_[N37.2], that the Church rejected their Baptism, because they did not baptize in the Name of the Three Divine Persons. But the Council of _Arles_, held in 452. by the Seventeenth Canon, commands the _Bonosians_ to be received into the Church by the holy Unction, the Imposition of Hands, and a Confession of Faith, _it being certain, that they baptize in the Name of the Trinity_[N37.3]. It is to be observed, that several Writers have confounded the _Bonosians_ with the _Photinians_, who did not baptize in the Name of the Three Persons; and by them both _Gregory_ and _Gennadius_ were misled[N37.4].

This great Work was accomplished in the following Manner: _Evagrius_, the Successor of _Paulinus_, dying not long after his Promotion, _Flavianus_ employed all the Credit and Interest he had at Court, and with the Clergy of _Antioch_, to prevent the Election of a new Bishop in the room of the deceased: and so far his Endeavours proved successful. But he could by no means gain the _Eustathians_, who continued to assemble apart, or prevail either upon the Bishops of _Egypt_, or _Syricius_, and the other Western Bishops, to admit him to their Communion, though he had no Competitor, whose Cause they could espouse against him. Thus, through the inflexible Obstinacy of the _Egyptian_ and Western Bishops, was Discord kept alive, and a kind of Schism fomented among the Prelates and Members of the Catholic Church, says _Sozomen_[1321]. In this Situation Affairs continued from the Year 392. in which _Evagrius_ died, to the Year 398. when the famous _John Chrysostom_, Presbyter of the Church of _Antioch_, was, in regard of his extraordinary Merit, preferred to the See of _Constantinople_. No sooner was he placed in that high Station, than his generous Disposition, above all little Piques and Jealousies, his Zeal for the Welfare of the Church in general, and the tender Regard he had for that of _Antioch_ in particular, prompted him to employ all the Credit and Authority, which his new Dignity gave him, in bringing about an intire Reconciliation between the East and the West, and restoring the Church of _Antioch_ to the Communion of those Churches, from which it had been so long separated[1322].
