    Romæ sancti Gregórii Primi, Papæ, Confessóris et Ecclésiæ Doctóris exímii; qui, ob res præcláre gestas atque Anglos ad Christi fidem convérsos, Magnus est dictus et Anglórum Apóstolus appellátus.

    Ibídem deposítio sancti Innocéntii Primi, Papæ et Confessóris. Ipsíus autem festum quinto Kaléndas Augústi celebrátur.

    Item Romæ sancti Mamiliáni Mártyris.

    Nicomedíæ sanctórum Egdúni Presbýteri, et aliórum septem, qui sínguli diébus síngulis suffocáti sunt, ut céteris metus incuterétur.

    Ibídem pássio sancti Petri Mártyris, qui, cum esset cubiculárius Diocletiáni Imperatóris, et libérius de imménsis Mártyrum supplíciis quererétur, proptérea, jubénte eódem, in médium addúcitur, ac primo suspénsus, diutíssime flagris torquétur, deínde acéto ac sale perfúsus, ad últimum in cratícula lento igne assátur, sicque vere Petri éxstitit et fídei heres et nóminis.

    Constantinópoli sancti Theóphanis, qui, ex ditíssimo pauper Mónachus efféctus, ab ímpio Leóne Arméno, pro cultu sacrárum Imáginum, biénnio deténtus est in cárcere, et inde in Samothráciam deportátus, ibídem, ærúmnis conféctus, réddidit spíritum, multísque miráculis cláruit.

    Cápuæ sancti Bernárdi, Epíscopi et Confessóris.

    At Rome, holy Pope Gregory [I,] an eminent Doctor of the Church, who, on account of his illustrious acts and his doings to bring the English to believe in Christ, is surnamed the Great, and called the Apostle of England, [in the year 604.]

    Likewise at Rome, the holy martyr Mamilian, [in the year 295.]

    At Nicomedia, the blessed martyr Peter. He was a chamberlain to the Emperor Diocletian, and because he bewailed the fearful slaughter of martyrs, the Emperor commanded him to be brought forth, hung up, and lashed for a long time. After which he was covered with vinegar and salt, and at length roasted upon a grating upon a slow fire, and thus is he worthy to be reckoned a true inheritor of Peter's faith, as well as Peter's name.

    There likewise the holy martyrs Egdunus the Priest, and seven others, of whom one was strangled every day in order to terrify the others, [about the year 303.]

    At Constantinople, holy Theophanes. He was originally a very rich man, but became a monk. The wicked Emperor Leo, the Armenian, kept him for two years in prison for honouring holy images, and then banished him to Samo-Thrace, where he sank under his sufferings and gave up the ghost, [about the year 818.] He is famous for many miracles.

    At Capua, the holy Confessor Bernard, Bishop of Calenum, [in the year 1109.]
