Of the Fifth COUNCIL of Sirmium.

COnstantius having appointed Two great Synods, one in the East at Seleucia, and the other in the * 1.1 West at Ariminum, some Eastern Bishops before they went to Seleucia, met together at Sir∣mium, where they made a new Confession of Faith, which was dictated by Marcus of Arethusa, after a long Conference with the other Bishops, and was sign'd by those that were present. Therein they make Profession of believing the Son of God to be in all things like to his Father; but they reject the name of Substance, as a Term that ought not to be us'd in speaking of the Trinity, because it is not found in Scripture, and is not intelligible by the People. Nevertheless Basil of Ancyra added in his Subscription, That the Son of God was in all things like to his Father, not only by the consent of Will, but also in Substance and Essence. This Creed has the Names of the Consuls at the beginning, which displeased many.
