Of the SYNOD of Antioch.

THE Church of Antioch continuing vacant by the departure of Eudoxius, Meletius was ordain'd * 1.1 Bishop of it by a Synod which Constantius call'd in 361. 'Tis said that some time after being in∣vited to preach before the Emperour upon these words of the Proverbs, God hath created me in the beginning of his ways, he declared openly for the Faith of the Church; whereupon the Eudoxians call'd a Second Synod at Antioch, and depos'd him under pretence that he had received into his Commu∣nion some Clergy-men who were depos'd by Eudoxius, and ordain'd Euzoius in his room. After∣wards they made a Confession of Faith, wherein they discover plainly their impious Doctrine, making no scruple to declare, That the Son of God was not at all like his Father in Substance, and that he was created of nothing. This was the last Synod held under Constantius, and the last of the Creeds made by his Order.
