SYAGRIUS.

STAGRIUS, saith Gennadius, Ch. 65. of his Book of Ecclesiastical Writers, hath made a Treatise concerning Faith against the inconsiderate and presumptuous Terms, which the * 1.1 Hereticks made use of to Abolish, or Change, the Names of the Three Persons of the Trini∣ty, by refusing to give to the First Person the Name of Father, which shews, that the Son is of the same Nature, and by calling him by the Name of the Only Uncreated God, without be∣ginning and cause, that they may make us believe, that the other Persons, which are distinct from him, are of a different Nature. This Author demonstrates against them, that the Fa∣ther may be said to be without a beginning, altho' he be of the same Nature with the Son whom he hath begotten, and not Created, and that the Holy Spirit is produced, altho' it may be said, that he is neither Begotten nor Created. I have also met, saith Gennadius fur∣ther, some Books intitled, Of Faith, and the Rules of Faith, which also bear the Name of Syagrius, but because they are not of the same Stile, 'tis not credible, that they are his. We have nothing more of this Author's.
