Of the COUNCIL of Alexandria in behalf of St. Athanasius.
ST. Athanasius being returned from Triers, whither Constantine had banished him, re-entred up∣on * 1.1 the possession of the See of Alexandria, and notwithstanding the Condemnation of the Council of Tyre, was acknowledged as their lawful Bishop: yet being oppos'd a-new by the Eu∣sebians under the Empire of Constantius, he caused a Council of a 100 Egyptian Bishops, or there∣abouts, to assemble in the Year 340, who wrote in his Favour to all the Bishops of the World, and cleared him from the Accusations that were laid against him. This Letter is extant in the Second Apology of St. Athanasius.
