Of the SYNOD of Jerusalem.
THE Synod of Tyre was not yet finished, when the Emperour sent a Letter to the Bishops, * 1.1 wherein he ordered them to come presently to Jerusalem, to make there the Dedication of a Magnificent Church which he had built there. They obeyed the Emperour's Orders, and having perform'd this Ceremony with much Pomp, they made a Synod there, wherein they received Arius, &c. I know very well that Valesius affirms that Arius was then dead, and that the Council received only the Followers of Arius. But St. Athanasius says plainly in his Book of the Synods of Ariminum and Seleucia, That Arius and his Followers were received in this Council. We have in St. Atha∣nasius the Synodical Letter of this Council written to the Egyptians and Alexandrians, wherein they write to them, that they had received Arius and his Party after they were satisfied that they held very Orthodox Doctrines.
