AGNELLUS.

'TIS thought that this Agnellus, who was a rich Man, and descended of a good Family, was Bishop of Ravenna from the Year 558 to the Year 566, and that he was the Author of a Let∣ter to Armenius concerning the Faith, which is found in the Bibliotheque of the Fathers. Trithemius being the only Person who speaks of this Author and this Work, there is no full assurance whether it be so or no. However it be, this Letter is inconsiderable: The Author affirms in it, That the Ho∣ly Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son.
