charge preferred again ft him. Notwithftanding this acquit¬ 
tal, Tn the following year he wasVgain accufed of Nellori- 
anifm before the council of Ephcfus, which, from the vio¬ 
lence and injuftice of its proceedings, was called the ajfem- 
bly of robbers ; and by them a decree of depofition, exile, and 
im-prifonment, was puffed again it him. According to the 
teltimony of Facundus bifhop of Hermiana, he was from 
this time cruelly haraffed, in being fent from one place 
of confinement to another, till in the year 451 the council 
of Chalcedon pronounced his fentiments orthodox, and 
decreed that hefhould be reftored to the dignity of which 
he had been deprived. Several years after his death he 
was again condemned as a Nellorian, by the fifth general 
council vvhieh affembled at Conftantinople in 553. His 
Letter to Maris is one of the pieces which compofed the 
celebrated- Three Chapters, noticed under the artrle FA- 
cundus. For an account of the fchifms to which the 
difputes'about thefe Chapters gave rife, we mull refer to 
the ecclefiaftical hiftorians, and particularly to Molheim.

IB'BOT (Benjamin), an able and judicious divine of 
the church of England, was born at Beachamwell, in the 
county of Norfolk, of which place his father was reflor 
in the year 1680. After he had received the preparatory 
education of the grammar-fchool, in the year 1695 he was 
entered of Clare-hall, Cambridge, where he purified his 
academical ftudies with commendable diligence and pro¬ 
ficiency. Having been admitted to his degree of B. A. 
in 1699, in the following year he removed to Corpus- 
Chrifti college, and was made a fcholar of that houfe. He 
commenced M. A. in 1703, and was eletiled into a Nor¬ 
folk fellowfhip in 1706 ; but he religned that fituation in 
the following year, upon his being patronifed by archbi-. 
ihop TenifoU, who took him into his family in the ca¬ 
pacity of librarian, and foon afterwards made hirrf his 
chaplain. In the year 1708, the archbilhop collated Mr. 
Ibbot to the treafurerlhip of the church of Wells ; and he 
alfo prefented him to the reclory of the united parilhes 
of St. Vedall, Fofter-lane, and St. Michael le Querne, in 
the city of London. In the years 1713 and 1714, he 
preached the courfe of fermons for the leflure founded by 
the honourable Robert Boyle, in confequence of the ap¬ 
pointment of the archbilhop, w'ho was the foie furviving 
truftee. In the year 1716, Mr. Ibbot was appointed one 
of the chaplains, in ordinary to king George I. and when 
his majefty paid a vifit to the univerfity of Cambridge, in 
the following year, our author was created doflor of di¬ 
vinity by royal mandamus. In the year 1724 be w<as 
prefented to a prebend in the collegiate church of St. Pe¬ 
ter, in Weftminfter; but he prematurely fell a facrifice to 
his afliduous application to his ftudies and profefiional 
duties, in 1725, when in the forty-fifth year of his age. 
After his death, his friend Dr. Clarke felefted from his 
nianufcripts, “ Thirty Sermons on Practical Subjects,” 
which, were publifhed for the benefit of his widow in 1726, 
in 2 vols. Svo. and in the following year, his “ Courie of 
Sermons preached at the Lefture founded by the honour¬ 
able Robert Boyle,” was publilhed in an oflavo volume, 
in purlfiance of his defire, expreffed in his will. Both

Species. 1. Iberis femperflorens, or broad-leaved ever¬ 
green candy-tuft: frutelcent, leaves wedge-fhaped, quite 
entire, blunt. This is a lhrubby plant, about a foot and 
a half high, having many llender branches, which fpread 
on every fide, and fall towards the ground if they are not 
fupported. Thefe branches fire well furnilhed towards 
their extremity with leaves, which continue green all the 
year; and in lfimmer the flowers are produced at the end 
of the (hoots; they are white and.grow in an umbel, 
continue long in beauty, and, being fucceeded by others, 
the plants are rarely deftitute of them from the end of 
Augull to the beginning of June, which renders this plant 
valuable. There is a variety with ilriped leaves. It is a 
native of Perfia and Sicily, and was cultivated in the Ox¬ 
ford garden in 1680. 
2. - Iberis fempervirens, or narrow-leaved ever-green 
candy-tuft: frutefeent, leaves linear, quite entire, acute. 
This is Of humbler growth than the nrft, feldom riling 
more than fix or eight inches high ; nor do the branches 
grow woody, but are rather herbaceous,. The leaves 
continue green through the year, and the flowers are of as- 
long duration as thole of the firft fort. Native of the 
ifland of Candia on rocky ground. Cultivated in, the' 
botanic garden at Chell’e.f in 1739 ; flowering from April 
to June. 
3. Iberis garexiana : leaves oblong-lanceolate, acute;. 
Hems fruticulofe, diffufed, flexile, warted;. branch-lets, 
leafy, upright. It agrees with the two preceding forts in 
having frutefeent Hems, fmooth leaves, and white flow¬ 
ers ; but differs from the fempervirens in having the Items' 
not upright, the branches neither rigid nor llriated, and- 
the leaves acute ; from the fmperflorens in the leaves 
not appearing in winter, and in the Hems being flexile*; 
more flender, and warted by the fallen leaves. The feed- 
veffel differs no otherwise from a capfule than in having 
deciduous valves, and it has only a Angle feed in each of 
the two cells. Native of Piedmont, about. Strop, above 
Tende, in the high mountains between Briga and Carlin, 
and above Frabrofa. 
4. Iberis Gibraltarica, or Gibraltar candy-tuft : frute¬ 
feent, leaves toothed at the tip. Stems many, thick, green, 
llriated, afeending, from a foot to eighteen inches in length, 
divided into feveral branches. The flowers bear fome
