EUGENIUS.
EUgenius Bishop of Carthage and Confessor, being summoned by Hunnericus King of the Van∣dals to explain the Faith of the Church, and the true signification of the Word, Consubstan∣tial, * 1.1 made a Treatise of the Faith, approved by all the Bishops, and all the Orthodox Con∣fessors of Africa, Mauritania, Sardinia, and Corsica, in which he confirms the true Faith, not only by the Authorities of the Scripture, but also by several passages of the Fathers. This Book was presented by his Fellow Bishop, when he was in Banishment, because he had so freely confessed the Faith as a Good Pastor. He left behind him some Letters to his Flock to strengthen them in the Faith, into which they were Baptized. He also sent in Writing the disputes, which he had had with the Arian Bishop by Proxie, and conveyed them to Hunnericus by the Steward of his Houshold. He also offered a Petition in form of an Apology to that Prince, endeavouring to obtain Peace for the Christians. He is said to be yet alive, and to continue his Service to the Church, by con∣firming the Faithful. The Treatise of Eugenius to Hunnericus is found in the third Book of the Hi∣story of Victor Vitensis; [as also in Tom. 4. of the Councils, and in Biblioth. Patr. Tom. 8.] and Gre∣gory in his second Book of his History of France recites one of his Letters written to the Church of Carthage.
