Of the Second COUNCIL of Alexandria against Arius: held in the presence of Hosius.

HOsius being sent to Alexandria from the Emperour, to compose the Differences which troubled the * 1.1 Churches of Egypt, held a Council in that City which the Clergy of Maraeotis, in a Protestation produced by St. Athanasius, call on Oecumenical Council. It is not known what was determined in this Council. 'Tis probable that the Wise Bishop of Corduba did what he could to reconcile Men's minds, and not being able to compass his Design, he would decide nothing. Socrates in B. III. Ch. 7. of his History, testifies, That in this Council the Terms of Substance and Hypostasis were treated of, in ••opposition to Sabellius: And we learn from the Protestation of the Clergy of Maraeotis, which we just now cited, that Colluthus a pretended Bishop was degraded in this Council, and the Ordinations which he made were annull'd. Philostorgius says, That Alexander of Alexandria coming at this time to Nicomedia, and having spoken to Hosius, caused the Consubstantiality of the Word to be determined by a Synodal Sentence. But we have no other Author who mentions this Judgment, neither is there any probability that it was given.
