erat fecunda Rei Diplomatic editio, ed prfatio deerat; eam vero D. Theo
doricus adjecit novis obervationibus refertam, & ut omnibus numeris abfo

Annalium volumen prope ad umbilicum perduxiffet, fchedas ejus D. Theo

doricus digeffit; & uppletis qu deerant, ad editionem paravit,
Anno 17o9. non tam ut extaret grati erga magitrum animi tetimonium,

quam ut clarisimorum multorum virorum votis fatisfaceret, vitam Mabillonii

vulgari fermone publicavit. Evellenda enim videbatur ex animis nonnullo

miori defenione retus tudiorum ufus vindicari & commendar poterat,

quam propofito exemplari quod repicere doti imitatores poffent, verafque

inde fumere pietatis cum dotrina conjungend regulas. Id D. Theodoricus
feliciter executus et, non tam fuo vel fuorum impulfu, quam aliorum flagi

dometica recordatione fatis confervata videbantur: fed clarisimorum viro

Corinthiorum Epifcopi ad Soterem Papam , ubi eum laudat,

ad fidem pertraxiffent , aut nifi ab aliis accuantibus ad judi

ces delati fuiffent, fufpetorum numero accenfendos effe. Cer- .

te ut ut fit de aliis , in hac Dodvvelli enumeratione pauci fu

perfunt Chritiani a perfecutione immunes ; illi fcilicet tantum
modo, qui a parentibus Chritianis orti, ita fefe occultabant, ut
nec aliorum faluti providere poffent, nec ab religionis noftr i
nimicis deferri. Verum quamvis & ifti ex Imperatoris edito non
perquirerentur, tantus erat adverfus Chritianos populi furor, ut
ipfos etiam in capitis periculum veniffe fatendum fit. Sicque quo
quo fe vertat Dodvvellus, gravem fub Severo perfecutionem ad

perfecutionum occafiones proponit. Et quidem id Tertullianus

difertis verbis afferit Apologetici cap. 35. Propterea publici hoftes
Chritiani , quia Imperatoribus neque vanos , neque temerarios honores
dicant... O nos merito damnandos ! cur enim vota G gaudia Caearum

triftes & modeti in follemnitatibus publicis apparerent Chritia

inimici effent, accuabantur. Porro biennio diuturniorem in A
frica perfecutionem fuiffe ex eodem Tertulliano patet, qui ea in

ait, quod delatores evocaret, crimina fingeret, innocentes occideret, da

habet Herodianus lib. 7, & 8. Sed de his fatis: jam de perfe.

ipum fviori perfequentium maliti attribuerunt veteres Chri

acerba j nefanda effe pauros. Unde Martyres nonnifi moriendo
vitoriam adepti funt, nec a tormentis ut liberarentur petebant
a Deo, fed ut ea patientiffime tolerarent. Certe Chritiani, apud

Cyprianum lib. de Mortalitate, tempore petis mori timebant,

ne fibi martyrii palma prriperetur. Dolebant Clerici in Atis
fanti Montani, quod, fe prtermiis, in laicos Proconful ani
madverteret. Uno verbo, ut ait Tertullianus ad Scapulam, hac
conditione fiebant Chritiani; & magis damnati, quam aboluti,

gaudebant, unde in Apologetico cap. 5. prfides fic alloquitur:

Cruciate, torquete, damnate, atterite mos ... Plures eficimur quoties me

aderat, ut fpius mediis in tormentis nullus, aut certe exiguus

les divinis, ut loquitur Cyprianus, oftenionibus de intantibus per
fecutionibus admonebantur, ne imparati ad prlium accederent.
Excitabantur etiam Epifcoporum verbis & exemplis. Tum per

fuafum eis erat leve & momentaneum quod paffuri erant, ter
num glori pondus in eis operaturum, ac brevi & caduca vita
ternam & beatam fe mercaturos, ad quam, quod martyrium al
ter effet baptifmus, fine ulla mora fe ingreffuros effe non dubi
tabant. Id enim effe fciebant Martyrum privilegium; cum cete
ris fidelibus delia a fe perpetrata diluere incumberet. Aliud enim

go dolore cruciatuum emundari, & purgari diu igne; aliud peccata omnia
paione purgae. His adde funetam lapforum vicem, quorum
nonnulli divinitus ante omnium oculos puniti funt. Ex his ali
quot recenet Cyprianus in libro de lapis, quorum unus potquam
Chritum negavit, obmutuit. Mulier, in balneis a dmone correpta,

fuam laniavit dentibus linguam, qu fuerat vel pafta impie vel locuta.
Alii aliis modis puniebantur; nec necee et, inquit, ire per exitus

perfecutoribus Martyrum patientia permotos credidiffe . Quid
cum evidentia fierent miracula ? Martyres mire fanati, voces
clitus emif, befti manfuefat, aliaque ejufmodi miracula
palam patrabantur? Hc autem in certis & probis monumentis
occurrunt. Quam vero frequentia fuerint miracula in Eccleia,
Patres attetantur. Hac de re, Irenus lib. 2. adverfus hrefes

tis. Et quid autem? Non et numerum dicere gratiarum, quas per uni
verfum mundum Eccleia a Deo accipiens in nomine Chriti Jefu crucifixi
fub Pontio Pilato per dies fingulos in opitulationem gentium perficit. Hc
enim in Gentilium quoque favorem operabantur Chritiani, ut
etiam ex variis aliorum Patrum tetimoniis patet. Unde eti non
numquam Gentiles ejufmodi miracula maleficiis aut incantatio
