Of the COUNCIL of Ancyra.

THE greatest part of the Eastern Bishops opposed this Design of Eudoxius, and could not en∣dure * 1.1 that he should make so publick a Profession of the Impious Doctrine of Aëtius. George Bishop of Laodicea wrote a Circular Letter upon this Subject, wherein he exhorted his Brethren to join together for defending the Faith of the Church. Basil of Ancyra presented this Letter to many Bishops who were assembled in his City for Dedicating his Church, about the Feast of Easter in the Year 358. These Bishops wrote a Synodical Epistle related by St. Epiphanius, wherein they First confirm'd the Creeds of the Eastern Bishops made at Antioch, at Sardica, and at Sirmium, and then condemned the Heresy of Aëtius, and professed to believe the Son of God to be like his Father. There follow after their Creed 18 Anathematisms, wherein they condemn these following Impious Dogmes, viz. That the Son of God is not like to his Father, That he is unlike in Substance, That he is a Creature, That he is another God than God the Father, &c. At the end of these Anathema∣tisms there is one against those who say, That the Father and the Son are Consubstantial. St. Hilary who explains the others, makes no mention of this last, because the Deputies of this Synod durst not bring it to Sirmium.
