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.

Vitus admodum puer inscio patre baptizatus est: quod cum ille rescivisset, nihil
|
||||
prætermisit, quo filium a christiana religione removeret. Qua in voluntate permanentem,
|
||||
Valeriano judici verberibus castigandum tradidit. Sed nihilominus in sententia
|
||||
persistens, patri redditus est. Sed dum eum pater gravius punire cogitat, Vitus Angeli
|
||||
monitu, comitibus Modesto et Crescentia, ejus educatoribus, migrat in alienas terras:
|
||||
ibique eam sanctitatis laudem adeptus est, ut ejus fama ad Diocletianum perlata, ipsum
|
||||
imperator accerseret, ut filium suum a dæmone vexatum liberaret: Quo liberato, cum ei
|
||||
amplissimis præmiis ingratus imperator, ut deos coleret, persuadere non potuisset, una
|
||||
cum Modesto et Crescentia vinculis constrictum mittit in carcerem. Quos ubi
|
||||
constantiores esse comperit, demitti jubet in ingens vas liquato plumbo, ferventi resina
|
||||
ac pice plenum: in quo cum trium Hebræorum puerorum more divinos hymnos canerent, inde
|
||||
erepti leoni objiciuntur: qui prostérnens se, eorum pedes lambebat. Quare inflammatus
|
||||
ira imperator, quod multitudinem videbat miraculo commoveri, eos in catasta sterni jubet
|
||||
et ita cædi eorum membra, atque ossa divelli. Quo tempore tonitrua, fulgura, magnique
|
||||
terræmotus fuere, quibus templa deorum corruerunt, et multi oppressi sunt. Eorum
|
||||
reliquias Florentia nobilis femina, unguentis conditas, honorifice sepelivit.

This Vitus was a child who was baptized without his father's knowledge. When his father
|
||||
had found it out, he used his best endeavours to dissuade his son from the Christian
|
||||
religion, but as he found him persistent in it, he handed him over to Valerian the judge
|
||||
to be whipped. But as he still remained as unshaken as before, he was given back to his
|
||||
father. But while his father was turning over in his mind to what severe discipline to
|
||||
subject him, Vitus, being warned by an Angel, fled out of the country, in company with his
|
||||
foster-parents Modestus and Crescentia. In his new home he gained great praise for
|
||||
holiness, so that the fame of it came to Diocletian, which Emperor sent for him to
|
||||
deliver his own child which was vexed with a devil. Him Vitus delivered, but when the
|
||||
Emperor found that with all his great gifts he could not bring him to worship the gods, he
|
||||
had the ingratitude to cast him and Modestus and Crescentia into prison, binding them in
|
||||
fetters. But when they were found in their prison more faithful than ever to their
|
||||
confession, the Emperor commanded them to be thrown into a great vessel full of melted
|
||||
lead, resin, and pitch. Therein these three, like the three Holy Children in the burning
|
||||
fiery furnace, sang praise to God, and upon that they were haled forth and cast to a lion,
|
||||
but he lay down before them, and licked their feet. Then the Emperor, being filled with
|
||||
fury, more especially because he saw that the multitude that looked on were stirred up at
|
||||
the miracle, commanded Vitus, Modestus, and Crescentia to be stretched upon a block and
|
||||
their limbs crushed, and their bones rent one from the other. While as they were dying
|
||||
there came great thunderings, and lightnings, and earthquakes, so that temples of the
|
||||
gods fell down, and many men were killed. As for that which remained of the Martyrs, the
|
||||
noble lady Florence took it, and embalmed it with spices, and honourably buried it.
