CHAP. VI. That, after the death of the Tyrant, the Emperour forced those who had been present at the Synod, and all the Christians, to embrace Arius's Opinion.

THe Emperour, having at that time been fortu∣nate and successfull in that action, began im∣mediately to disquiet the Christians, being desirous to bring over all persons to Arianism. But he was in a more especial manner incensed against the Synod which had been convened at Lampsacus, not only because it had deposed the Arian Bi∣shops, but in regard that Draught of the Creed published at Ariminum, had been Anathematized there. Being therefore come to Nicomedia in Bithynia, he sent for Eleusius Bishop of Cyzicum to him. This Prelate had more closely adhered to Macedonius's opinion, as I have said be∣fore. Wherefore the Emperour, having con∣vened a Synod of Arian Bishops, compelled E∣leusius to give his assent to their Faith. At first he denied to do it. But when he was threatned with Banishment and Proscription of his Goods, being terrified he gave his assent to the Arian opinion. He repented immediately that he had consented. And returning to Cyzicum, in the presence of all the people he complained of his being forc't, saying, that he had given his assent by compulsion, not voluntarily: he also advised them to seek out for another Bishop, because he had been compelled to renounce his own opi∣nion. But the inhabitants of Cyzicum, by rea∣son of that great love and affection they had for him, refused to be subject to another Bishop, nor would they permit any other [to govern] their Church. They continued therefore under his presidency, and would in no wise recede from their own Heresie.
