Another Letter sent to the Alexandrians.

VICTOR CONSTANTIUS MAXIMUS AUGUSTUS, to the populace of the Catholike Church in Alexandria.

In regard We make l 1.1 your good Government Our aim in all things, and knowing that you have for some time been deprived of an Episcopall Provi∣dence, We have thought good to send back to you again Athanasius the Bishop, a person well known to all men for his sanctity of life and moral honesty. When you shall have received this person according to your usual manner, and as it is meet; and shall constitute him your assistant in your prayers to God; make it your business to preserve continually a Concord and Peace, befitting your selves, and gratefull to Us, according to the Sanction of the Church. For it is disagreeable to reason, that there should be any dissention or faction raised amongst you, contrary to the felicity of Our times. Our desires and wishes are, that you may be wholly freed from this mischief. And We exhort you to persist continually in your usual prayers to God, making use of him your Prelate and your assi∣stant, as was said before. That so this resolution of yours being conveyed to the m 1.2 ears of all men, even those▪ Gentiles as yet * 1.3 enslaved in the er∣roneous worship of Idols, may with the great∣est alacrity hasten to the knowledge of the sacred Re∣ligion, (most dear Alex∣andrians!) We therefore a∣gain exhort you to persist in what hath been said before. Do you willingly receive your Bishop, sent to you by Gods Decree and Our determination, and look upon him as worthy to be embraced n 1.4 with your whole souls and minds. For that doth both become you, and is also manifestly agreeable to Our Clemency. And that all manner of o 1.5 disturbance and oc∣casion of Sedition may be taken from such as are endowed with malevolent and factious mindes, We have by Our Letters given order to the judges a∣mongst you, that they should render all those liable to undergo the penalty of the Laws, whom upon inquiry they shall find to have been Seditions. Taking therefore into your consideration these two things, both Gods and Our determination, and also the care we have taken about your agreement, and the punishment [we have commanded to be in∣flicted] upon those that are disordered; make it your chief business to have a diligent regard to whatever doth become and agree with the Sanctions of the sacred Religion, and with all reverence to honour the * 1.6 foresaid [Prelate,] that so you together with him may offer up prayers to the supream God and Father, both for your Selves, and also for the good Government and Concord of mankind in general.
