niftris , ut me quatuor ex partibds di-
ftentum loris , boum nervis cæderent .
Unde alfeflbr prætoris ad ipfum : Domine
, refervetur ifte , fi placet > in
aliud judicium ; quoniam & jam tempus
eft prandii . Pr æ tor autem me ferreis
conftriétum vinculis reducendum cura-
vit ad carcerem, ubi folus egi alios vi-
ginti quinque dies . Exhibuit autem fe
rurfus tertio , qui mihi in fomnis vi-
fus erat adolefcens , ô f ' dixit milii :
Quid eft ö Ephræm ? certus ne jam es,
quod jufto judicio Deus mundum guber-
nat , & injuftitia apud ipfum non eft?
At ego ad ipfum : Immo Domine , cer-
tior fum fatftus , quod mirabilia funt
opera Domini , & imperveftigabiles vise
ejus . Cæpi autem multis cum lacrymis
obfecrare eum , dicens : Fecifti Domine
magnam hanc juftitiam cum fervo
•tuo , & in vifione tua confolatus es in-
firmitatem meam : Miferere mei famuli
tui , & educ me de carcere ifto , ut
merear fieri monachus , & infervire—»
Domino Chrifto. Ipfe autem vultu fub-
ridens , dixit mihi : Adhuc femel exa-
mini fubjicieris , & dimitteris . At ego
rurfus ad ipfum : Domine pertimefco
minas judicis, ac plagas reformido . Ip-
feque iterum fubridens vultu , ad me :
Oportebat, inquit, te quidem modeftum
elfe, neque detrudi in iftum carcerem :
fed quando ob immodeftiam tuam hue
intrafti , quid poffiim tibi præftare? Ve-
rumtamen ne timeas , non multis fubjicieris
. Yeniet alius judex , qui te libe-
xabit. Et hoc dicèns, receftit . Ego interim
multum anxius hærebam , expe-
«Stans quemnam tandem fortituræ finem
effent res meæ . Poft quinque itaque-»
dies , advenit alius judex , qui erat fa-
miliariter verfatus in domo meorum pa-
rentum : alter vero cum fucceflorem ac-
cepiflèt » me folum vindtum reliquit in
carcere . Peregit autem , qui advene-
rat Judex , in civitate dies feptem , &
jnterrogavit euftodiæ publicæ præfedlum,
num vhnfti detinerentur in carcere ? II-
loque relpondente , quendam adolefcen-
tem certa de caulfa vinflum detineri :
oflavo die juflit comparari proceffum .
Eoque pro tribunali fedente , mandavit
in quæftionem me produci Apparito-
res autem in carcerem venientes , im-
pofuerünt collo meo catenas ferreas ,
& publice me in judicium abripuerunt.
Judiee verb mandante, me denudarunt,
& laceris. pannis contexerunt . Sicque_>

me in medium ftatuérunt ac judici
pnefentarunt. Videns autem me Judex ,
agnovit : verumtamen ex legum rigore
ulterius inquifivit . Et jam cognofcens.
quod falfo accufatus detinerer , juftït me
dimitti . Tune miniftri folutis vinculis
quibus ligabar , redditilque veftimentis
meis > atque. iis indutum dimiferunt me.
Ego autem prjeter exfpe&ationem falva-
tus , e veftigio , ac fine ulla mora in
montem afcendi , ad magnum veneran-
dumque. Senem: ad cujus ego pedes pro-
cidens, enarratifque ei cunétis quae acci-
derant, affumpfit me in Mónachum . Por-
ro ifta vobis utilitatis ergo recenfui, Fratre
s : ut & vos ejulmodi audientes, una-
nimiter mecum glorificetis Deum , qui
omnes homines vult falvos fieri , & ad * *
agnitionem veritatis pervenire. Ipfi honor
C & gloria in faecula fieculorum. Amen.
