inçludi Pontifex maximus juffic. (i) heuquam
parum fui compos, heu quam erat durus ac
fufpiciofus, qui tum fummam Apoftolorum federn
( 2 ) obtinebat ; ut delinquentes non tam
folatio aliquo curaret & precibus, quam rejiÉ;
çiendo ad defperandum impelleret i ( 3 ) præ-
fertirn quum neque interrogarit quemquam,
neque verum accurate cognoverit didiceritve.
fed enim ira prudentes étiam perimit : tan-
tumque in eo perturbationis ab horte malo 8c
malorum auâore excitatum eft.
LXIII. Quum vero in tarcere effet beatus
Gregorius, ac ferrea conftriftus compede, pre-
cationibus operam daret, media noéfe lux magna
çarceren? totum illuftravit : ac viri duo
verendi habitu apoftolico ante eum conftite-
runt, qui eum appelantes, falve, dixere,
Gregori ‘ ferve Chrirti, nobifque cariffime :
Chrirtus nos mifit, ut te vinculis folveremus,
quibus te Pontifex maximus immerentem ad-
dixit : lætamur enim verp ob conftantiam &
patientiam tuam, tibique gratulamur, quodin
hac quoque urbe fanéli Spiritus gratia prodi-
gia per te multa fient. turn vincula appre-
hendentes e manibus ejus ac pedibus detraxe-
runt. ille quum furrexifiet, ad eorum proci-
dit pedes, hofque ofculatus, gratias, inquit,
ago Deo per vos, o fànfti, o Domini Jefu
vere dileai Apoftoli, qui totum terrarum or-
bem luce veftra impleviftis : ecce & exiguum
hune fervum vefti'um miferati ad animi ejus
vulnus fanandum adeftis, vos, quiverendoîn-
fignique throno fedetis. port quæ, falute bea-
to v’tro diéla, ev^nuerunt, atque ad flatoni-
cum divertentes, ipfum quoque folverunt,
eduftumque e loco, ubi inclufus erat, non
ante digrefli funt, quam ad locum deduxif-
fent, ubi beatus Gregorius verfabatur. quem
ut Platonicus adfpexit, gratias Deo quas po-.
tuit maximas reddidit •
LXIV. Habebat vero carceris euftos filium
unigenam annorum viginti, peffimo a fpiritu
vexatum , quem Dæmon tanta vi agitabat,
ut eum nemo coercere unquam poflèt. cete-
rum per eos dies pater ejus forte apprehende-
rat, 8c manibus ejus ac pedibus atque eollo
catena conftri&is, columnæ, quæ domi erat,
adligarat. at nofte ilia Dæmon, quum pueri
vincula diffregiflet, fublatum in aerem ante
pedes beati viri proftravit in ipfo carcere,
ubi tum pfalmos çanebat, quo nempe ilium
attereret, 8c a precibus revoçaret. puer vero
provolvebatur, & fpumas vomebat. tum fan-
&us vir, (4) fublatis ad cælum manibus, Domine,
inquit, Deus cæli & terræ ac rerum
omnium, ob fanélos tuos, qui modo mihi
adfuerunt, Apoftolos fervum hune tuumfana-»
to.
