The Council of Carthage, in the Year 405.

THIS Council, assembled upon the 21st. of August, made no general Canons for Africa, * 1.1 but only regulated some particular Businesses, which the Collector of the African Code hath expressed in these Terms.

It was ordained in this Council, That all the Provinces should send their Deputies to the general Council. Deputies were sent with a Letter to Mi∣zonius, to let him know, That he might send Deputies with all Freedom. It was thought fit to write to the Judges, to entreat them, That they would use their Endeavours to reconcile the Donatists, and the Catholicks, as had been already done at Carthage. And they were to write to the Emperor, to thank him for excluding the Donatists. But Pope In∣nocent having declared in his Letter which was read in the Council, That it was not convenient to send Bishops beyond the Seas, his Advice was approved, and they sent only Clerks of the Church of Carthage, to return the Thanks of the African Bishops.
