complifhed in the different branches of feculav literature. 
Afterwards lie went to Palefline, where he liudied theo¬ 
logy and facre.d criticifm under Patrophilus of Scytho- 
polis, and Eitfebius of Csefarea. He likewife went to 
Antioch, and thence to Alexandria, in which city he 
chiefly applied himfelf to the (truly of philofophy, and 
then returned to Antioch. His fetilement at Emefa was 
at firft violently oppofed by the ignorant populace, who, 
from the fame which he had acquired by his proficiency 
in literature and the Iciences, had been led to entertain a 
fufpicion that he was converfant in magical arts, lie died 
.at Antioch about the year 360. The chief of his works 
were, treatifes againft the Jews, again!! the Novatians, and 
again!! the Manicheans ; ten books upon the Epiftle to 
the Galatians; and many fhort homilies upon the gofpels. 
Ilis treatife againft the Jews is ftill extant in a Greek MS. 
in the library at Vienna. 
EUSE'BIUS, bifhop of Vercelli, now Verceil in Pied¬ 
mont, in the fourth century, native of the ifland of Sardi¬ 
nia. Having removed to Rome, lie was firft appointed 
reader of that church, and afterwards raifed to the lee of 
-Vercelli. In the year 354 he was deputed by pope Li¬ 
berals to wait cn the emperor Conftantius, then in Gaul, 
to plead the caufe of Athanafius, after his expulfion from 
Alexandria. But the arian party fucceeded in cauling a 
decree to be palled which condemned the conduct of 
Athanafius, and approved the meafures that had been 
taken againft him. When the emperor commanded that 
this decree fliould be figned by all the bilhops prefent, 
.Eufebius refilled to give his fanchion to an act which his 
principles led him to abhor ; on which account he was 
baniihed to Scythopolis in Syria, afterwards removed to 
Cappadocia, and again into the Upper Thebais. On 
the acceflion of Julian to the empire lie obtained his 
liberty, and was prefent at the fynod Held by Athana¬ 
fius at Alexandria in 362. Afterwards he travelled 
through different parts of the Eaft, endeavouring to re¬ 
claim many of the arian churches to the Nicene faith, and 
then returned to Italy, where lie continued indefatigable 
in purfuing the fame object until his death, which took 
place about the year 370. He tranflated the Commentary 
of Eufebius of Crefarea upon the Plaints out of Greek into 
Latin, of which Jerome makes mention in his Catalogue 
of Ecclefiaftical Writers; but it is now entirely loft. 
There are (till extant fotne fragments of letters fuppofed 
to be his, in different collections, to which Cave and D11 
Pin refer; alfo a MS. in the cathedral church at Verceil, 
containing a Latin verfton of the four Gofpels, inferted 
in the EvangcliariumQuadruplcx Latina: Verfionis Antigua, Jcu 
petens Italica, publilhed by Jofeph Blanchini, at Rome, 
.in 1749. 
EUSE'BIUS, bifhop of Dorylasum in Phrygia, in the 
fifth century. Having embraced the ecclefiaftical life, he 
obtained the fee of Dorylteum, and in 448 preferred an 
•accufation of lierefy againft Eutyches and his followers. 
T he fupporters of Eutyches, however, were not flow in 
taking their revenge; for in a fynod held at Ephefus by 
Diofcortis, patriarch of Alexandria, in 449, he was con¬ 
demned to be depofed from his epiicopai functions, and 
refufed admiflion into it to plead his own caufe. Two 
years after this a counter-fynod was held at Chalcedon by 
the orthodox party, in which Eufebius preferred accufa- 
tions againft Diofcortis. They then condemned the Eu- 
tychians, as the Eutychians had formerly condemned 
them : and in the proceedings of both parties, an impro¬ 
per fpirit of intolerance was much more difcernible, than 
a difpaflionate love of truth, and a regard to the true 
genius of the religion of which they made profeflion. A 
Latin verfion of his Argument again!! Neftorius is to be 
found in the fec.ond volume of the works of Marius Mer¬ 
cator ; and his Accufation of Eutyches before the C011- 
Ihintinopolitan fynod, his Accufation of Diofcortis before 
.the fynod of Chalcedon, and" a letter from him to the em¬ 
peror Marcian, are inferted in the fourth volume of the 
Colldtio Conciliorunu

EU'STACE, ’[eg well, and ic-T/^xt, Gr. to Hand.] 
The name of a man. 
EUSFA'CHE (David), a refpeCl'able French proteftant 
minifter in the feventeenth century, native of Dauphine, 
and fettled as paftor with the proteftant church at Mont¬ 
pellier. He afiifted at the national fynod held at London 
in 1659, as deputy of the province of I.ower Languedoc, 
and was nominated by the affembly to prefent to the king 
the letter which they addreffed to his majefty. On this 
occafion lie met with much applaufe when he harangued 
the monarch, who was then at Tonloufe, and alfo the 
queen-mother, and cardinal Mazarine. He was the au¬ 
thor of fome fermons, and fome controverfial pieces, by 
which he acquired confiderable reputation. 
EUSTA'CHIO, or Eustachius (Bartholomew), an 
excellent anatomift, native either of St. Severino in the 
Marche of Ancona, or of St. Severina in Calabria. Little 
is known of his hiftory, farther than that he was a medical 
profdfor in the college of Sapienza in Rome, and that he 
was phyfician to cardinal Julio della Rovere, named the 
cardinal d’Urbino. He is fuppofed to have died in 1570. 
Enftachius was a man of penetrating genius, and admira¬ 
bly fitted for minuteand exact refearches. Haller fays of 
him, that he embraced a wider field of enquiry than any 
other anatomift down to the prefent time ; and that he 
enriched the fcience with more difeoveries and more cor¬ 
rections than any other perfon whom he knows. One 
great fcope of this anatomift feemsto have been to defend 
the accuracy of Galen againft the cenfures of Vefalius ; 
but His refearches led him much farther titan the know¬ 
ledge of tiie ancients. In the ftrudture of the kidneys, of 
the organ of the ear, of the bones, in the nervous and ar¬ 
terial fyftems, his additions and corrections to former de- 
feriptions are efpecially important. His name is perpe¬ 
tuated in the internal tube of the ear, called the Eujlachian, 
and in the Euftachian valve of the heart. 
EUSTA'THI ANS, a name given to the Catholics of 
Antioch in the fourth century, on occafion of their re- 
fufal to'acknowledge any other bifhop befides St. Euflr- 
thius, depofed by the Arians. Alfo a feCt of heretics in 
the fourth century, denominated from their founder E11- 
ftathius, a monk fo fooli(li 1 y fond of his own profeflion, 
that he condemned all other conditions of life. He ex¬ 
cluded married people from falvation ; prohibited his 
followers from praying in their houfes ; and obliged them 
to quit all they had, as incompatible with the hopes of 
heaven. 
EUSTA'THIUS, bifhop of Antioch in the fourth cen¬ 
tury, born at Side in Pamphilia. He was a ftrenuous op¬ 
ponent of the arian doClrine, which he combated both by 
his eloquence and in numerous writings. At. the council 
of Nice, in 325, he diftinguiftied himfelf by his exertions 
in the caufe of orthodoxy, and afterwards by his zeal in 
defending the decifionsof the council, and carrying them 
into effect. This conduct of his highly exafperated the 
arian bifhops of Paleffine, who embraced the firft favour¬ 
able occafion of making him feel their vengeance. After 
the return of Eufebius of Nicomedin, and Theognis of 
Nice, from banilhment, a fynod of the eaftern bifhops was 
held at Antioch about the year 32S, in which Euftathius 
was accufed, by Cyrus bifhop of Bertea, of adhering to the 
doctrine of Sabellius, rather than to that of the council 
of Nice. Whether he was really a favourer of the Sabel- 
lian notions, Lardner think's is doubtful. Euftathius was, 
however, declared to be guilty, and by a decree of the 
fynod depofed from the paftoral office. Through the 
influence of his enemies with the emperor, he was alfo 
banifhed to Trajanopolis in Thrace, where he died, but 
at what time is uncertain. His fame was fo great among 
the catholics, that thofe who fupported his intereft were
