Of the COUNCIL of Antioch under Meletius.

THE Acacians seeing that the Emperour Jovian favoured the Catholicks, joined themselves with * 1.1 Meletius Bishop of Antioch, and held a Council in that City, wherein they declared, That they would embrace the Faith of the Council of Nice, and receive the Term, Consubstantial: But at the same time they add, That this Term must be understood in the sence, which signifies, That the Son of God was begotten of the Substance of his Father, and that he is like in Substance to his Father; That we must not believe that there was any Passion in this ineffable Generation; That we must not make use of the Word, Substance, according to the natural sence of this Term; That it was not us'd but to destroy the Error of Arius, who said, That the Word was made out of nothing, an Error which was revived by the Anomaeans. These Bishops having made this Declaration in their Letter to the Em∣perour, approve the whole and entire Creed of the Council of Nice.
