❧ The confession of faith, made by the Synode at Ephesus.
IN as much as because here I note all things briefly, I could not in writing place with these that large Synodal Epistle written by S. Cyril to Nestorius, wherein is contained the full consent of the general Counsel held at Ephesus: I have therefore rather chosen out of the 28. Epistle of the same Cyril, a short confession sent to the Synod and allowed by the whole Counsel. Before the confession are set these words. Even as in the beginning we have heard out of the divine Scriptures and the tradition of the holy fathers: so will we briefly speak, not adding any thing at all to the faith set forth by the holy fathers in Nice. For that doeth suffice as well to all knowledge of godliness, as also to the utter ⟨image 6⟩forsaking of any heretical overthwartnesse.
