The Heresy of Artemon, holding that Christ was a mere Terrene Creature, having seized on Paulus Samosatenus ([Greek or Hebrew]) Bishop of Antioch; the Fathers of the Council held there, upon that occasion, tell us, in their circular Epistle, that he prohibited the use of the Psalms sung in the honour of Christ. [Greek or Hebrew]. Euseb. l. 7. cap. [Greek or Hebrew]. lib. 24. And would he have tolerated a Liturgy, whose contents were ⟨p. 26⟩as much for the honour of Christ? Or can there be supposed a Liturgy, which had nothing in it for the honour of Christ [Greek or Hebrew]. And if he had made as bold with a Liturgy, would this have been concealed by those Fathers, who are so large and particular, in giving an account of all his impieties, innovations, presumptions, (that the justice of their proceeding against him might be clear to the world), not omitting those Hymns, which were of less moment?
