[Footnote 101: This extraordinary, and perhaps inconsistent,
doctrine of the Nestorians, had been observed by La Croze,
(Christianisme des Indes, tom. i. p. 19, 20,) and is more
fully exposed by Abulpharagius, (Bibliot. Orient. tom. ii.
p. 292. Hist. Dynast. p. 91, vers. Latin. Pocock.) and
Asseman himself, (tom. iv. p. 218.) They seem ignorant that
they might allege the positive authority of the ecthesis.
(the common reproach of the Monophysites) (Concil. tom. vii.
p. 205.)]
