Of the COUNCIL of Arles.

COnstantius had a long time desired to get Athanasius condemned by the Western Bishops. To * 1.1 compass this Design, he assembled a Synod in the Year 353, in the City of Arles. The Pope sent for Legates Vincentius of Capua, and another Bishop of Campania called Marcellus; and order∣ed them to desire the Meeting of a Council in the City of Aquileia. These Legates being arrived at the Council of Arles, desired that they would begin with handling the Doctrine, and with condemn∣ing the Error of Arius, before they spoke of the Cause of St. Athanasius: But Ursacius and Valens who had no other Design but to procure the Condemnation of St. Athanasius, would not admit this Proposition; and forc'd the Bishops of the Council, and even the Pope's Legates to subscribe the con∣demnation of this Saint. There was none but only Paulinus Bishop of Triers that continued stedfast, and for this Reason he was banished immediately.
