12 of June's 13 SanctiM-track saints authored, including the major Duplex I class feast of Ss. Peter and Paul. One left unsourced (the Vigil of St. John the Baptist has only a Nocturn 1 scripture reading in the source, nothing proper to author for Nocturn 2/3). Found a new wrinkle: St. William Abbot has real vita content in both tracks, essentially the same story independently transcribed — sourced from the Tridentine file since only it has an English translation.

Primus et Felicianus fratres, in persecutióne Diocletiáni et Maximiáni accusáti
|
||||
christianæ religiónis, in víncula conjiciúntur; quibus soluti, inde eripiúntur ab
|
||||
Angelo. Mox ad prætorem adducti, cum christianam fidem acerrime tueréntur, alter ab
|
||||
altero distracti sunt; ac primum varie tentáta est constántia Feliciáni. Sed, cum
|
||||
suasores impietátis se posse quidquam verbis proficere desperárent, affixis stipiti
|
||||
mánibus ejus et pédibus, ipsum sine cibo et potu inde triduum pendentem reliquérunt.
|
||||
Postridie ejus diéi, prætor vocátum ad se Primum sic affátur: Vides quanto sit prudentior,
|
||||
quam tu, frater tuus, qui obsecutus imperatóribus, apud ipsos est honoratus? Quem si tu
|
||||
quoque imitari volueris, particeps eris ejus honoris et gratiæ. Cui Primus: Qui factum
|
||||
sit fratri meo, cognóvi ex Angelo. Utinam, quemádmodum sum cum eo voluntáte
|
||||
conjunctíssimus, sic ab eodem ne martyrio disjungar. Quo dicto excanduit prætor, et ad
|
||||
ceteros cruciatus, quibus Primum affecit, præsénte jam Feliciáno, liquátum igne plumbum
|
||||
in os ejus jussit infundi. Mox utrumque perduci imperat in theatrum, in eosque immitti
|
||||
duos leónis; qui, prostráti ad eórum genua, cápite et cauda ipsis blandiebántur. Ad id
|
||||
spectaculum cum ámplius duódecim míllia hóminum convenissent, quingénti cum suis
|
||||
familiis christianam religiónem suscepérunt. Quibus rebus permotus prætor, eos secúri
|
||||
pércuti jussit.

Primus and Felician were two brothers who were accused of Christianity during the
|
||||
persecution by Diocletian and Maximian, and thrown into irons, which an angel broke, and
|
||||
so freed their limbs. In the presence of the Praetor they most earnestly clave to the
|
||||
profession of their faith, and were immediately parted one from the other. Felician's was
|
||||
the steadfastness which was first tried in diverse ways. They, however, that strove to
|
||||
argue him into sin, when they found that words availed nothing, fastened his hands and
|
||||
feet to a post, and left him to hang there three days without food or drink. On the fourth
|
||||
day the Praetor called Primus before him, and said to him: Seest thou how much thy brother
|
||||
is wiser than thou? He hath obeyed the Emperors, and they have made him honourable. Thou
|
||||
hast only to follow his example to be made partaker of his honours and favours. Primus
|
||||
answered him: What hath befallen my brother I know, for an angel hath told me. God grant
|
||||
that, seeing I have the same will that he hath, I may not be divided from him in
|
||||
uplifting of testimony. These words raised the wrath of the Praetor, and to the torments
|
||||
which he had already inflicted on Primus, he added this also, that he had boiling lead put
|
||||
into his mouth, compelling his brother Felician to be present and see it done. After that,
|
||||
he had them led into the theatre and two lions let loose upon them, in the presence of
|
||||
about twelve thousand people who were gathered together to see the show. The lions only
|
||||
fawned upon the knees of the Saints, making friends with them with motions of their heads
|
||||
and tails. This exhibition turned five hundred persons and their households to Christ.
|
||||
The Praetor, then, moved beyond all endurance by what had passed, caused Primus and
|
||||
Felician to be beheaded.
