_Cyril_ expels the _Jews_ out of _Alexandria_; _Orestes_ complains to the Emperor; _Cyril_ and _Orestes_ become irreconcileable Enemies.
One main Reason why _Cyril_ could not bear the Governor, as we are told by _Socrates_, was, that _Orestes hated the Principality of the Bishops; as well because they transferred to themselves much of the Power belonging to those appointed Governors, by the Emperor; as, in particular, because _Cyril_ would needs be prying into his Actions_. Their Enmity became sufficiently known to the Publick, by a Sedition raised against _Orestes_, occasioned by one _Hierax_ a pitiful School-Master, but a profest Admirer of the Bishop, and a most diligent Attendant at his Sermons, where he was sure to clap and reclap, according to the rare Custom of those Times. The Jews spying him in the Theatre, while the Governor was there on some publick Business, cryed out, that he came purposely thither to cause Mischief; and the Uproar, whereof the Particulars may be read in the just quoted _Socrates_, terminated in this, that _Cyril_ expelled all the Jews out of the City, where they had liv’d in great Opulence from the Time of _Alexander_ the Great, to the no small Benefit of the Place. Were I not accustomed to read monstrous Lies of this unfortunate Nation, especially that thread-bare Fiction of crucifying a Child (objected to them here as a thousand Times afterwards) I should think them very rightly served. But even in that Case, who can justify _Cyril_’s licensing the Multitude to seize on their Goods?
