2.  Now I accept no newer creed written for me by other men, nor do I venture to propound the outcome of my own intelligence, lest I make the words of true religion merely human words; but what I have been taught by the holy Fathers, that I announce to all who question me.  In my Church the creed written by the holy Fathers in synod at Nicæa is in use.  I believe that it is also repeated among you; but I do not refuse to write its exact terms in my letter, lest I be accused of taking too little trouble.  It is as follows: Here follows in the text the Nicene Creed with the anathemas.  The Ben. note points out that the Nicene Creed was brought to Cæsarea by St. Leontius, and was vigorously defended by his successor Hermogenes.  cf. Letter lxxxi.  Dianius, who next followed in the see, signed several Arian formulæ.  The Nicene Creed, however, had been maintained at Cæsarea, and in Letter li. Dianius is described as supporting it.  This is our faith.  But no definition was given about the Holy Ghost, the Pneumatomachi not having at that date appeared.  No mention was therefore made of the need of anathematizing those who say that the Holy Ghost is of a created and ministerial nature.  For nothing in the divine and blessed Trinity is created.
