In the Primitive Church, when any Pastor was De∣posed, advice was given to all the Churches, to the end that none should receive him; * 1.1 according to which, after the Synod of Antioch had Deposed Paul of Samosa∣tia, in the 3d Century, for Heresy, it wrote a long, fair Letter, to all the Bishops, and to all the Churches in general, to inform them at large, of all that had passed in the Condemnation of this great Heretick. Alexander Bishop of Alexandria, having Condemned Arrius, and his adherents, he also writ to all the Catholick Bishops, To the end, * 1.2 saith he, that you should not receive him, if by chance he should have the confidence to go to you, and that you should not give credit to what Eusebius, or any one else may write to you in his behalf: St. Hillary, Bishop of Poictiers, informs us in his Fragments, That the Western Bishops, Assembled at Sirmium, in the year 350.

having Anathematiz'd the Heretick Photin, they sent into the East the Decree of his Condemnation, to inform them after the usual manner, of what they had done against him. * 1.3 Theodoret has preserv'd to us in his Ec∣clesiastical History, the Letter of a Council of Bishops in Illyria, writ about the Year 370. by which, amongst other things, they inform the Churches of God, and the Bishops of the Diocesses of Asia, of the Deposing of certain Clergy-men, * 1.4 infected with the Impiety of Ar∣rius, whose Names they express. Accordingly the Fa∣thers of Chalcedon, say, in their Relation to the Emperors, that the Sardick Synod, gave notice into the East, of what they had done against the remains of Arrius, as the Eastern Bishops did those of the West, of their De∣cree against Apollinarius: They went yet further; for they published these Sentences of Deposition in the Churches which had been advertis'd of it. In short, St. Austin in his 3d Book against Petilien, Chap. 39. makes mention of a Deacon called Splendonius, which had been Depos'd in part of Germany, and the Decree of his degradation was read in the Churches of Africa, when they had received notice of it by the Prelates which had condemn'd him.
