Of the COUNCIL of Biterrae, or Beziers.

THE French Church had not yet been toss'd with the Storms which troubled the Peace of all * 1.1 the Churches in the World. Saturninus Bishop of Arles a factious Man, was the First who brought thither the fire of Division. He assembled in the Year 356, a Council at Beziers, and us'd all his Endeavours to make it receive the followers of Arius; but St. Hilary oppos'd him stoutly, and having desired them to treat of Doctrinal Matters offered to convict Ursacius, Valens and Saturninus of Heresy. Instead of hearkning to him they wrote to Court against him, and he was sent into ba∣nishment together with Rhodanius Bishop of Tholouse. After he was forced away, the Bishops of this Council being devoted to the Interests of Saturninus, did whatever he desired; but the other Bishops of France would never communicate with him, nor with Ursacius and Valens, and would not suffer other Bishops to be Ordain'd in the room of those that were banish'd.
