14. EUSEBIUS, Bishop, said; ‘He says specifically that the Father alone is everlasting, and that the Son at some time began to be.’
Palladius said; ‘I have neither seen Arius, nor do I know who he is.’
Eusebius, Bishop, said; ‘The blasphemy of Arius has been produced, in which he denies that the Son of God is everlasting. Do you condemn this wickedness and its author, or do you support it?’
Palladius said; ‘When there is not the authority of a full Council, I do not speak.’
15. AMBROSE, Bishop, said; ‘Do you hesitate after the divine judgements to condemn Arius, when he has Acts i. 18. burst asunder in the midst?’ and he added; ‘Let the holy men too, the deputies of the Gauls, speak.’
Constantius, Bishop and deputy of the Gauls, said; ‘This impiety of that man we always have condemned, and we now condemn not only Arius, but also whoever does not say that the Son of God is everlasting.’
Ambrose, Bishop, said; ‘What says also my Lord Justus?’
Justus, Bishop and deputy of the Gauls, said; ‘He who does not confess that the Son of God is co-eternal with the Father, let him be accounted Anathema.’
