Vincentius, honesta stirpe Valentiæ in Hispania natus, ab ineunte ætate cor
gessit senile. Qui dum caliginosi hujus sæculi labilem cursum pro ingenii sui
modulo consideraret, religionis habitum in ordine Prædicatorum decimo octavo
ætatis suæ anno suscepit; et emissa solemni professione, sacris litteris sedulo
incumbens, theologiæ lauream summa cum laude consecutus est. Mox obtenta a
superioribus licentia, verbum Dei prædicare, Judæorum perfidiam arguere,
Saracenorum errores confutare tanta virtute et efficacia cœpit, ut ingentem
ipsorum infiddlium multitudinem ad Christi fidem perduxerit, et multa
Christianorum millia a peccatis ad pœnitentiam, a vitus ad virtutem revocarit.
Electus enim a Deo, ut monita salutis in omnes gentes, tribus et linguas
difunderet, et extremi tremendique judicii diem appropinquare ostenderet, omnium
auditorum animos terrore concussos, atque a terrenis affectibus avulsos, ad Dei
amórem excitabat.
In hoc autem apostolico munere hic vitæ ejus tenor perpetuus fuit quotidie
Missam summo mane cum cantu celebravit. Quotidie ad populum concionem habuit;
inviolabile semper jejunium, nisi urgens adesset necessitas, servavit; sancta et
recta consilia nulli denegavit, carnes numquam comedit, nec vestem lineam
induit: populorum jurgia sedavit, dissidentia regna pace composuit: et cum
vestis inconsutilis Ecclesiæ diro schismate scinderetur, ut uniretur, et unita
servaretur, plurimum laboravit. Virtutibus omnibus claruit, suosque detractores
et persecutores, in simplicitate et humilitate ambulans, cum mansuetudine
recepit, et amplexus est.
Per ipsum divina virtus, in confirmationem vitæ et prædicationis ejus, multa
signa et miracula fecit. Nam frequentissime super ægros manus imposuit, et
sanitatem adepti sunt: spiritus immundos e corporibus expulit: surdis auditum,
mutis loquelam, cæcis visum restituit, leprosos mundavit, mortuos suscitavit.
Senio tandem et morbo confectus infatigabilis Evangelii præco, plurimis Europæ
provinciis cum ingenti animarum fructu peragratis, Venetiæ in Britannia minori
prædicationis et vitæ cursum feliciter consummavit, anno salutis millesimo
quadringentesimo decimo nono: quem Callistus tertius sanctorum numero ascripsit.

This Vincent was born of respectable parents, at Valencia in Spain. Even as a
child he had an heart like the heart of an old man. Considering, to the utmost of
his young understanding, how fleeting is the course of this dark world, he, in
the eighteenth year of his age, took the habit of a Friar in the Order of
Preachers. After he had made his solemn profession, he devoted himself to sacred
learning, and took the degree of Master in Divinity with much distinction. He
soon after received permission from his superiors to preach the word of God, on
which duty he entered with such power and success, striving against the
unbelief of the Jews, and overthrowing the errors of the Saracens, that he
brought an exceeding great multitude of unbelievers to believe in Christ, and
turned many thousands of Christians from sin to sorrow, and from vice to virtue.
He was a chosen vessel unto God to proclaim the tidings of salvation among all
nations, and tribes, and tongues, crying out that the last day, that awful day of
judgment, is at hand, smiting consternation into the minds of all, as many as
heard him, weaning their love from a perishing world, and turning it to God.
While Vincent wrought the Apostolic work of preaching committed to him, he lived
ever as follows: Every morning he sang a solemn Mass, and every day he preached
in public. He fasted every day, unless prevented by some absolute necessity. He
refused to no one his holy and just advice. He never ate meat, nor wore linen. He
quieted public disturbances, and negotiated the peace of kingdoms. When the
seamless garment of the Church was rent by an horrid schism, he worked his every
nerve to unite it again, and keep it one. He was a burning and a shining light of
all virtues, walking always in lowliness and simpleness, so that he meekly
welcomed and embraced them which spake evil against him and persecuted him.
The Power of God confirmed his life and doctrine with many great signs and
wonders. He often laid his hands upon the sick and they recovered. He cast out
unclean spirits, and made the deaf to hear, the dumb to speak, and the blind to
see. He cleansed the lepers, and raised the dead. After passing through many
countries of Europe with exceeding profit to souls, worn out with age and
disease, but still ever the same unwearied herald of the Gospel, he brought his
life and his preaching together to an happy end, at Vannes in Brittany, in the
year of salvation 1419. Pope Callistus III. numbered him with the Saints.
