Annotatio III §.V open: Constantinopolitan judgment barely heard — image patrons’ rage ~30 years to Nicaea II
§.V: the Constantinopolitans’ salutary, Word-congruent judgment was barely heard before image-patrons grew angry.
After ~30 years their indignation forced Nicaea II — called Second Nicene from the city, but by pontiffs ‘Seventh Oecumenical’ (as the Orthodox had styled Constantinopolitanum) — and an adverse decree contradicted those Fathers.

§. V. At verò, vix ac ne vix quidem salutare hoc verboque Dei exactè congruum Judicium Patrum Constantinopolitanorum, cum subnixa ratione suâ haud indecedente, exauditum fuerat, cum imaginum Patroni graviter illi irascerentur ac inviderent, donec, elapsis præter propter annis 30. ira eorum ac indignatio ita cresceret, ut alio in Concilio, Nicææ habito, & ab hac Civitate Nicænum secundum dicto, ab idololatris Pontificiis verò, haud secus ac Constantinopolitanum ab Orthodoxis, Oecumenicum septimum nuncupato, Patribus Constantinopolitanis Decreto adversô contradictum fuerit.
