Synodall Letters c. The Subscriptions c. 8.9 10. Iohn a Roman Abbot present there His vertues In his return he dyes in France 1. WHilst these things were agitated at Rome the Roman Abbot Iohn Arch-Cantour or the Church there of S. Peter being now in Brittany and commissioned to explore the Faith of the English Churches and give an account thereof to the See Apostolick diligently executed his commission By his suggestion no doubt it was that this same year as Saint Beda testifies the Holy Arch-bishop Theodore being informed that the Faith of the Church of Constantinople was much disturbed by the Heresy of Eutyches and desirous to preserve the English Churches committed to his care free from that contagion he assembled a Synod of Venerable Bishops and very many learned men in which he diligently inquired what the Beleif of each person was after which enquiry he found amongst them an unanimous agreement in the Orthodoxe Catholick Faith 1. This Synod saith he was held in a place called Heatfeild But there being severall places in Brittany of the same name he leaves it uncertain in what Province it was Most probable it is that it was the same which at this day is called Bishops-hatfeild in Hertfordshire so called rather from this Synod there held then as Camden would because it belongs to the iurisdiction of the Bishop of Ely 3. The Synodall Letters dictated by S. Theodore Archrbishop of Canterbury who presided therein were according to the same S. Beda of the tenour following In the name of our Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ In the tenth year of the Raign of our most Religious Lord Egfrid King of the Northumbers on the fifteenth day before the Calends of October and the eighth Indiction and in the sixth year of the raign of Edilred King of the Mercians in the seaventeenth year of the raign of Adulfus King of the East-angles and in the seaventh year of the Raign of Lothair King of Kent Theodore by the Grace of God Arch-bishop of the Isle of Brittany and Citty of Canterbury presiding and the rest of the Bishops of the Isle of Brittany sitting with him the most Holy Gospells being honourably placed among them in a town according to the Saxon tongue named Hedtfeild Wee there after common advice have unanimously declared the true and Orthodox Faith according as our Lord Iesus Christ incarnate delivered to his Disciples who saw him and heard his words and as is contained in the Symbol of the Holy Fathers and generally all Saints Vniversall Synods and particular Orthodox Churches have delivered Wee following these faithfull Guides according to their doctrine divinely inspired doe unanimously beleive and professe according to the Holy Fathers in truth and propriety of speech confessing the Father Son and Holy Ghost the Trinity consubstantiall in Vnity and Vnity in Trinity that is One God in three Subsistences or Persons Consubstantiall of equall glory and honour 4. And after many other speeches added to the like effect which pertain to the Confession of the Orthodox Faith this Holy Synod hath to its common Letters added this Profession Wee receive the five Holy Vniversall Synods of the Blessed Fathers that is of the three hundred and eighteen Bishops assembled at Nicaea against the impious Heretick Arius and his Dogmes and of the hundred and fifty Bishops assembled at Constantinople against the madnes of Macedonius and Eudoxius and their Errours and of the two hundred Bishops mett at Ephesas against the impious Nestorius and his dogmes and of the six hundred and thirty Bishops assembled at Chalcedon against Eutyches and Nestorius and their Dogmes and again they were assembled in the fifth Council at Constantinople in the time of Iustinian the younger against Theodorus Theodoret and the Epistles of Ibas and their dogmes against Cyrill Likewise in the Synod held at Rome in the time of Blessed Pope Martin in the eighth Indiction and ninth year of the Religious Emperour Constantin Wee receive all these and glorify our Lord Iesus Christ as the said Holy Fathers glorified him neither adding any thing nor diminishing from their Decisions Wee with heart and tongue anathematize those whom they have anathematized and we receive those whom they have received glorifying God the Father without beginning and his Only begotten before all ages and the Holy Spirit unexpressibly proceeding from the Father and the Son as the forementioned Holy Apostles Prophets and Doctours have taught And hereto we all subscribe who together with the Arch-bishop Theodore have declared the Catholick Faith 5. Such was the tenour of the Synodall Letters of this Council at Hatfeild but the names of the Bishops subscribing for brevities sake were omitted by S. Beda Yet in the forementioned Saxon Manuscript produced by Sir H. Spelman and translated into Latin we read that the Apostolick Breif touching the Priviledges of the Monastery of Medeshamsted or Peterborough was read publickly in the said Synod and approved there Witnesses whereof by the Authour cited are there mentioned 6. Moreover King Ethelred in the foresaid Synod said I doe immoveably ratify and confirm whatsoever gifts my Brethren Penda and Welfere and my Sisters Kyneburgh and Kineswith have given and by will conferred on S. Peter and this Abbot And my will is that in the Anniversary dayes of their deposition they be commemorated for the good of their soules and mine And this day I my self give to S. Peter and his Church of Medeshamsted the lands here under named with their appurtenances to wit Bredune Hre●pingas Cedenac c. These lands I give to S. Peter with the same liberty as I my self now possesse them forbidding my Successours in any thing to prejudice this my Gift And if any shall doe contrary hereto the Anathema of the Pope and all other Bishops fall upon him Of these things all here present are Witnesses I Ethelred doe confirm these things with the sign of the Crosse of Christ. † I Theodore Arch-bishop of Canterbury am Witnes of this Writing of Meleshamsted and I excommunicate all who so ever shall violate any thing of it and give my benediction to all who observe it ✚ I Wilfrid Arch-bishop of York am witnes and confirm the same with an Anathema † I Saxulf formerly Abbot and now Bishop doe in mine own name and of all my Successours inflict an Anathema against all infringers of this † I Ostritha Queen to King Ethelred confirm this ✚ I Adrian legat decree the same † I Putta Bishop of Rochester have written this † I Waldhere Bishop of London doe ratify this † I Cuthbal● Abbot doe so confirm it that whosoever shall violate it may he bear the malediction of all Bishops and of Christians in the world Amen 7. If this Writing be indeed authentick we are to suppose that all the subscriptions were not made at once but successively for certain it is that S Wilfrid was absent during the Session of this Council and therefore subscribed it after this
