QctOlS:
s mas, tabem oculorum ; Sc fubtrahens vi-
riditatem immaturitatemque fermonis, me
zelo cepit, ac demerfit in documentorum
fuorum immerforia . Tune concepit venter
meus prudentiam, ut pararet quadra-
ginta Martyrum laudes . Omnem enim_>
tolerantie ipforuur modum meis adjunxit
auribus egregius vir i iquemadmodum fei-
licet eiegerint mori pro Chrifto, quanta-
que pericula contemferint , ut ipfum lu-
crifàcerent ; ttfm quot numero fuerint
fanl|à illi ; rîliquaque ad. pietatem eorum
pemnentia edixit
Quia ergo ad infigne adeo opus nos
dignos cenfuit fidelis pontifex ,, horum
triumphantium pulchreque vincentium-.
virorum laudibus ad aliam orationem
rejedis , hune fandum Chrifti bea-
tum prsdicemus , - eorum æmulum ,
parifque dignitatis virum . Sicut e-
nim Sàndi illi viriliter Licinio ty-
ranno reftiterunt , , 8c .Duci præfidi ;
ita Sc fandus hic oppofuit fe Valenti
, Ario , 8c feroci præfedo :
Verùm illi fpinas erroris evulferunt :
hic autem hæreticæ infaniæ tribulos .
Illi Licinii fepta athletica folyerunt ,
8c hic Valentis edida dilfolvit . Illi
juflfa Ducis- irrita fecernnt : hic Arii
objedacula confudit . Illi præfidis te-
meritatem. diremerunt ; hic verà . Mo-
defti præfedî vefaniam perfregit . II-
lorum cnim; certamine exftimuDtus
velut Phmees ,, linguas perfodit à
Deo fornicantes .. ünde vehementi
admodum defiderio tenebatnr bibendi
calicem , Sc trophæum per martyrium
ftatüere ftudebat . Martyres propter fi-
dem in Chriftum , univerfam fimul
tribulationera in fe ipfis ferentes , for-
titer fuftinuerunt at Bafilius ob fpem
in Chriftum , tentationum velut ni-
vium defluxns viriliter- pertulit . Illi
veftes fuas exuerunt , membraque_j
tradidèrunt plagis ; Sc hic detritum
panniculum collo corporique circum-
pofitum præexuere feftinabat . Ilü in->
fta<7no hominem in impietate errabun-
dum ad fe traxerunt ,. atque gloria
donarunt ; hic verb in pifeina fideles
baptizans , conciliavit illis regnum coe-
lorum. Eli inter aquas defiderio inflam-
mati , lumen cum coronis fuper capita-»
fua confpexerunt ;; atque hic dogmatibus
fanfte Trinitatis incenfùs, premium cer-
taminis advcrsùs male fentientes retulit.
O quanta improbus.machinatus eft Be-
liar, ut Bafilium àfuperno Regno fepataret !
Irritavit Reges, Principes, 8c Populos; 8c Bafilius.
