General biography; or, Lives, critical and historical, of the most eminent persons of all ages, countries, conditions, and professions, arranged according to alphabetical order . the proceedings indiscussing them should be conducted withoutthe least constraint; means were made use ofto persuade, or rather to intimidate him, tosign a recantation of his opinion, and to pro-fess his assent to the commonly receiveddoctrine of the catholic church. By thisact he exposed himself to the attack ofhis friend, as we formerly stated. His ene-mies, however, were not satisfied with havingforced him to make this concession, but pro-cured his deposition from his episcopal func-tions, and obtained the order of the emperorfor his banishment to Lyons. In that city hespent the remainder of his days, and died aboutthe year 815, in the firm belief of the doctrinefor which he was a sufferer; affording an exam-ple, that coercion in religious matters can pro-duce no other effect, than to make men hypo-crites or martyrs.
