Iustinianus Bellisarium ex Italia confestim revocavit called by the Emperour and commanded to come without any delay So in the very entrance of his narration Anastasius hath in few words couched together at the least ten or eleven evident untruths 14. Next Anastasius relates how the Emperour and his wife demanded of Bellisarius when be came to Constantinople how he had placed Vigilius in stead of Silverius and thanked him for it Truly Anastasius had small wit to thinke that the Emperour had leasure to confer with Bellisarius concerning a matter done about three l Nam Silveriū à Bellisario ejectum nar●at Proc. lib. 1. pa. 287. e●que tum suffectus Vigilius ibid.

After this Anastasius tels us that Iustinian then sent Bellisarius againe into Africke who comming thither killed by trechery Gontharis King of the Vandalls and then comming to Rome offered some of the spoiles of the Vandalls to Saint Peter by the hands of Pope Vigilius to wit a Crosse of gold beset with precious stones being a hundred pound in waight wherin were writ his victories two great silver tables guilded which unto this day stand saith hee before the body of Saint Peter also hee gave many other gifts and many almes to the poore and built an hospitall in the broad way and a Monastery of Saint Iuvenalis at the City of Orta where hee gave possessions and many gifts Thus Anastasius whose narration as it must needs testifie in what great honour the Romane Church was in those ancient times and how bountifull they were then unto it so may it serve for an incentive to inflame the zeale of Emperours and great persons to doe the like after their victories and conquests and no doubt but by such lyes and fables as this is their Church had gained the best part of her treasures and possessions for all this not one syllable is true or probable Bellisarius when hee came to Constantinople ſ Patet quod ipse Imperator Bellisario hac de causa gratias non egit Bin.

Bar. an 540. nu 2. the Pope neither did Bellisarius then come out of Africk or bring the spoyles of the Vandals with him of which this oblation was made by the hands of Pope Vigilius 16. Next to this Anastasius saith eodem tempore Theodora scripsit at that same time Theodora the Empresse writ to Vigilius to come to Constantinople and restore Anthimus to his See but Vigilius refused saying I spake foolishly before when I promised that but now I can no way consent to restore an heretike Whence Baronius e An. 540. nu 13. observes a rare miracle that Vigilius was now turned to a new man now Saul was one of the Prophets of a blasphemer chāged to a true Preacher of a Saul into a Paul all which change proceeded from his very sitting in the Popes Chaire momento temporis novam formam accepit at that very moment when he became the true Pope hee had a new forme a new speech and then prophesied consonantly to the fathers and the like miracle doth Binius f Bin. not in vit Vig. pa. 478. note statim ut sanctam sedem ascendit as soone as ever Vigilius had stept into the holy Chaire hee was wholly changed into a new man and then condemned the heresies which before hee approved A right Neanthes indeed of whom it is written that before being 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 having now got the harpe of Orpheus hee thought he was also able to worke wonders therwith as well as Orpheus had done he would needs then Saxa movere sono testudinis but all in vaine Even so Peters Chaire made Vigilius as infallible as Peter himselfe being once set there hee could doe nothing else but drop Oracles and his fidling on Orpheus harpe made an heavenly harmony but how hee failed in his skill and proved no better than Neanthes his Constitution touching the Three Chapters is an eternall record and yet all that time hee sat in the Chaire and prophesied for as the common saying is Vbi Papa ibi Roma so it is as true Vbi Papa ibi Cathedra it is more easie for the Pope to take the Chaire with him than like an Elephant to carry the whole City of Rome upon his backe to Constantinople and goe up and downe the world with it 17. But is this narration thinke you of Anastasius true verily not one word therein neither did the Empresse write nor Vigilius answer any such thing for both these were done as Anastasius saith eodem tempore at or after that same time when Bellisarius having killed Gontharis came out of Africk and offered those spoiles of the Vandales and seeing that as wee have proved was never this writing of Theodora and answer of Vigilius was at the same tide of Nevermas Againe this answer of Vigilius was given statim ac sanctam sedem ascendit at his very first placing in the See as Binius sheweth and that was in the fourteenth g Bar. an 54. nu 2. yeare of Iustinian for then Sylverius dyed now seeing Theodora writ not this till Gontharis was overcome and that was as Procopius h Hoc modo caede nimirum Gōtharidis et aliorum Artabanes Carthaginem Justiniano restituit anno ipsius decimo nono Procl lib. 2. de Bell. Vandal pa. 244. sheweth in the nineteenth yeare of Iustinian it was a fine devise of Anastasius to tell how this new Saint answered a letter by way of prophesie three or foure yeares before the letter was written Further Vigilius as Liberatus saith i Liberat. ca. 22. implens promissum suum quod Augustae secerat performing his promise to the Empress writ a letter in this manner hee performed it as much as hee could he laboured a while to doe it and this was both before and a little after the death of Sylverius but when hee could not effect it and after that the Emperor had writ unto him to confirme the deposition of Anthimus Vigilius seeing his labour to be lost therein left off that care untill hee could have a better oportunity to overthrow the Councell of Chalcedon which so long as it stood in force was
