Note (S) — THE HISTORY OF Solyman the Magnificent, and Mustapha his Son.

Nice, the Capital of Bythinia, (the old Antigonia.) This City is remarkable for that famous Council held against Arianism, relating to the time of celebrating Easter among the Christians, with some Points of Church-Discipline, in the Imperial Palace of Constantine the Great, in the Year 325 of Christianity. There was another design’d in the Year 359, but prevented by a sudden Earthquake, which destroy’d a great part of the City. There was another Council assembled in the Year 787, made up of three hundred and fifty Bishops. Nice was taken by Godfrey of Boloigne in his way to Jerusalem in order to commence the Holy War, that cost so many thousand Lives, and drain’d the Purses of almost all Europe.
