62 ST. JOHN OF DAMASCUS. But as the suppression of image-worship took its rise with the emperor, so it was liable to come to an end with any change in the occupant of the throne. Constantine had bound the inhabitants of Constan tinople according to some, all the inhabitants of his dominions by an oath, to the observance of his decrees. But he died in 775, and his son, Leo IV., reigned but four years and a half. The empressmother, Irene, was left as regent during the minority of her son, Constantine VI., a child of ten years old. Irene had been bound, like the rest, by her father-inlaw s oath, but her mind was bent on undoing the religious work of his reign. Comparing the short interregnum of Leo IV. to that of our Edward VI., the task she set herself will appear not altogether unlike that undertaken by Queen Mary. Without entering into details concerning the opposition she had to overcome, or the prelates and soldiers she had to conciliate, it may suffice to say that in 787 a second council was assembled, by her direction, at Nicaea, at which the decrees of the iconoclastic council in the Heraeum in 754 were revoked. It was now decided that, "even as the figure of the cross was honoured, so images of the Saviour and the Blessed Virgin, of angels and of saints, whether painted or mosaic, or of any other suitable material, are to be set up for kissthrough the mists of partisan historians, may be inferred from the very sobriquet of Copronymus which they have succeeded in fastening on this emperor. Though as familiarly known to us by it as Caius by his nickname of Caligula, it was really meant for a most opprobrious epithet, based on a legend of his having fouled the baptismal font when an infant.
THE ICONOCLASTIC CONTROVERSY. 63 ing and other honourable reverence (proskunesis), but not for that real service (latreia) which belongs to the Divine nature alone." * This council gradually came to be regarded, both by Greeks and Latins, as the seventh general council ; and with its settlement of the question we may for the present subject. take leave of the 1 Robertson, ii., p. 157.
