[Footnote 33: The two epistles of Gregory II. have been
preserved in the Acta of the Nicene Council, (tom. viii. p.
651 - 674.) They are without a date, which is variously
fixed, by Baronius in the year 726, by Muratori (Annali
d'Italia, tom. vi. p. 120) in 729, and by Pagi in 730. Such
is the force of prejudice, that some papists have praised
the good sense and moderation of these letters.]
