Excerpt from Ecclesiastical History of M. L'abbe Fleury: From A. D. 400, To A. D. 429 At the close of the preceding Volume of this Translation of Fleury's History, St. Ambrose was already dead, St. Jerome, now at the age of sixty or seventy, was engaged in the controversy with Ruffinus, and St. Chrysostom and St. Augustine had lately been raised to the sees of Constantinople and Hippo. The three Fathers last named form the principal subjects of the present Volume. The persecution, exile, and death of St. Chrysostom, with the disputes and divisions which followed throughout Christendom thereupon, and the complete, though tardy restoration of his memory in the Church of Constantinople, - the latter years of St. Jerome, his correspondence with St. Augustine, and his opposition to the rising heresy of Pelagius, - and the episcopate of St. Augustine till within a few years of his death, his unwearied strife with Manichees, Arians, Donatists, Pelagians, and Semi-Pelagians, his personal friends, his daily habits, and domestic life, are here recorded with that fulness of circumstantial detail which is the peculiarity of the work.
