Καὶ παλιν ἀναθεματίζομεν τοὺς μὴ ὁμολογοῦντας ἀνάστασιν νεκρῶν, καὶ πάσας αἱρέσεις τὰς μὴ ἐκ ταύτης τῆς ὀρθῆς πίστεως οὖσας. 16 8. SYMBOLUM CONSTANTINOPOLITANUM®. A.D. 381. THE Creed put forth by the Council of Constantinople is, as I have already hinted, identical almost to the letter with the former of the Creeds given by Epiphanius. The additions therein made (it is said, by Gregory Nyssenh) to the original Nicene Creed, and already extensively accepted, now received the full sanction of the Church Universal. The Creed varies, as it is well known, in one important particular from the formula now used throughout Western Christendom: it makes no mention of the procession from the Son in the eighth article. When the "Filioque" was first inserted is not certainly known. The earliest copy of the Constantinopolitan Creed in which it is found is that which was recited at the third Council of Toledo, A.D. 589. But there are doubts as Earlier dates have been to the genuineness of the text. assigned by some, as a Gallican Council, A.D. 447 or 448, and the first Council of Bracara, A.D. 411. But though Confessions of faith, containing the assertion of the procession from the Son, are given as recited at these Councils, the Constantinopolitan formula is not one of them.
