# Nocturn 3's Lectio7 gives only the Gospel incipit ("Et réliqua", Matt

# No responsory given for either reading in the source.

Januarius, Benevénti epíscopus, Diocletiáno et Maximiáno in Christiános sæviéntibus, ad
|
||||
Timotheum Campaniæ præsidem ob christianæ fidei professiónem Nolam perducitur. Ibi, ejus
|
||||
constántia varie tentata, in ardentem fornacem conjéctus, ita illæsus evasit, ut ne
|
||||
vestiméntum aut capillum quidem flamma violáverit. Hinc præses, accénsus iracúndia, Mártyris
|
||||
corpus imperat usque eo dístrahi, quoad nervórum compages artuumque solvántur. Festus interea
|
||||
ejus diaconus et Desiderius lector, comprehénsi vinctique, una cum episcopo ante rhedam
|
||||
præsidis Puteleos pertrahúntur, et in eumdem carcerem, in quo Sosius Misenas et Próculus
|
||||
Puteolánus diáconus, Eutyches et Acutius láici, ad bestias damnati, detinebántur, simul
|
||||
conjiciúntur.
|

|
||||
|

Postero die omnes in amphitheatro feris objecti sunt; quæ, naturalis oblitæ feritátis, ad
|
||||
Januarii pedes se prostravére. Id Timótheus mágicis cantiónibus tribuens, cum senténtiam
|
||||
cápitis in Christi Mártyres pronuntiásset, óculis repénte captus, orante mox beato Januario,
|
||||
lumen recepit; quo miraculo hóminum míllia fere quinque Christi fidem suscepérunt. Verum
|
||||
ingrátus judex, níhilo placatior factus beneficio, sed conversióne tantæ multitúdinis actus
|
||||
in rábiem; véritus maxime príncipum decreta, sanctum Episcopum cum sociis gládio pércuti
|
||||
jussit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Horum córpora finítimæ urbes, pro suo quæque studio certum sibi patronum ex iis apud Deum
|
||||
adoptándi, sepelienda curarunt. Januarii corpus Neapolitani divino admónitu extulére; quod,
|
||||
primo Benevéntum, inde ad monastérium montis Vírginis, postremo Neapolim translátum et in
|
||||
majori ecclésia cónditum, multis miraculis cláruit. Sed illud in primis memorándum, quod
|
||||
erumpéntes olim e monte Vesuvio flammárum globos, nec vicínis modo sed longinquis étiam
|
||||
regiónibus vastitátis metum afferéntes, exstinxit. Præclárum illud quoque, quod ejus sanguis,
|
||||
qui in ampulla vitrea concretus asservátur, cum in conspéctu cápitis ejusdem Mártyris
|
||||
pónitur, admirándum in modum colliquefíeri et ebullire, perinde atque recens effúsus, ad hæc
|
||||
usque témpora cernitur.

At that time the Emperors Diocletian and Maximian were furiously raging against Christians,
|
||||
Januarius, Bishop of Benevento, was taken to Nola, to Timothy, President of Campania, on the
|
||||
charge of professing the Christian faith. There his firmness was tried diverse ways, and he
|
||||
was cast into a burning fiery furnace, but came forth thence unhurt, for neither upon his
|
||||
raiment nor upon the hairs of his head did the flame take any hold. Thereupon the wrath of
|
||||
the President was enkindled, and he commanded the martyr to be torn limb from limb. But in
|
||||
the meanwhile Januarius' Deacon Festus and his Reader Desiderius were taken, and the whole
|
||||
three were led in bonds to Puzzuoli in front of the President's carriage, and there thrown
|
||||
into the same prison wherein were already held four other Christians condemned to be
|
||||
devoured by wild beasts, that is to say, Sosius, a Deacon of Miseno, Proculus, a Deacon of
|
||||
Puzzuoli, and two laymen, named respectively Eutyches and Acutius.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The next day all seven were exposed to the wild beasts in the amphitheatre, but these
|
||||
creatures forgot their natural fierceness, and lay down at the feet of Januarius. Timothy
|
||||
would have it that this came from charms, and commanded the witnesses of Christ to be
|
||||
beheaded. Thereupon he became of a sudden blind, until Januarius had prayed for him, by the
|
||||
which miracle nearly five thousand persons were turned to Christ. But this good turn roused
|
||||
up no gratitude in the President, yea, rather, the conversion of so many drave him wild, and
|
||||
in his hot fear to obey the decrees of the Emperors he commanded that the holy Bishop and his
|
||||
companions should be smitten with the sword.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The cities of those coasts strove to obtain their bodies for honourable burial, so as to
|
||||
make sure of having in them advocates with God. By God's will the relics of Januarius were
|
||||
taken to Naples at last, after having been carried from Puzzuoli to Benevento, and from
|
||||
Benevento to Monte Vergine; when they were brought thence to Naples, they were laid in the
|
||||
chief Church there, and there have been famous on account of many miracles. Among these is
|
||||
remarkable the stopping of eruptions of Mount Vesuvius, whereby both that neighbourhood and
|
||||
also places afar off have been like to have been brought to desolation. It is also well
|
||||
known, and is the plain fact, seen even unto this day, that when the blood of Januarius, kept
|
||||
dried up in a small glass phial, is put in sight of the head of the same martyr, it is used
|
||||
to melt and bubble in a very strange way, as though it had but freshly been shed.

Discipuli Dóminum intérrogant quando hæc fíerent, quodve signum et adventus sui et
|
||||
consummatiónis sæculi nóscerent. Et, quia tria hæc in unum quæsíta sunt, distinctis et
|
||||
témporis et intelligéntiæ significatiónibus separántur. Respondétur ígitur primum de
|
||||
civitátis occasu, et confirmántur veritáte doctrinæ, ne quis fallax ignorántibus posset
|
||||
obrépere; venturi enim erant étiam eórum témpore, qui se Christum essent nuncupatúri. Ut
|
||||
ígitur fides pestífero mendácio détrahi posset, admonítio præcessit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Confírmat ígitur eos ad tolerántiam passiónum, fugæ, verberatiónis, intéritus et publici in
|
||||
eos odii propter nomen ejus. Atque his quidem vexatiónibus multi turbabúntur, et, tantis
|
||||
insurgéntibus malis scandalizabúntur, et usque in mutuum ódium excitabúntur. Et falsi
|
||||
prophetæ erunt, multosque ementíta veritáte pervertent; et, abundante nequitia, caritas
|
||||
refrigéscet.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Sed usque in finem perseverántibus salus reserváta est; ac tum, per omnes orbis partes viris
|
||||
apostolicis dispersis, Evangélii véritas prædicábitur. Et, cum univérsis fúerit cognítio
|
||||
sacraménti cæléstis invecta, tum Jerúsalem occasus et finis incumbet; ut prædicatiónis fidem,
|
||||
et infidelium pœna et metus civitátis érutæ consequátur. Hæc ígitur in eam, ut fuerant
|
||||
prædicta, perfécta sunt; et, lapidatis, fugatis, peremptis Apóstolis, fame, bello,
|
||||
captivitáte consumpta est. Ac tum fuit digna non esse, cum, ejectis prædicatóribus Christi,
|
||||
indignam Dei prædicatióne se præbuit.

His disciples came unto Him privately, saying: "Tell us, when shall these things be, and
|
||||
what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world?" Here are in one question
|
||||
three several points, and the answers are to be understood of three several times, and by
|
||||
three several interpretations. "When shall these things be?" And herein He taught them
|
||||
concerning the fall of the city, whereof He made plain announcement, lest the unlearned
|
||||
might fall a prey to any deceiver. For within the lifetime of His then hearers were to come
|
||||
many, saying: I am Christ. He giveth warning therefore beforehand, lest such pestilential
|
||||
liars should gain any belief.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He confirms them, therefore, to endure sufferings, flight, scourging, death, and the public
|
||||
hatred of all men for His Name's sake. And by these very troubles many shall be troubled, and
|
||||
as such great evils arise they shall be offended, and shall even be stirred up to hatred of
|
||||
one another. And false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many by their pretended truth;
|
||||
and because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
But unto them that endure unto the end salvation is reserved; and then, the apostolic men
|
||||
having been scattered through every part of the world, the truth of the Gospel shall be
|
||||
preached. And when the knowledge of the heavenly mystery has been carried to all, then the
|
||||
fall and end of Jerusalem shall come to pass; so that the faith of the preaching, and the
|
||||
punishment and terror of the unbelievers, may follow from the destroyed city. These things
|
||||
therefore were fulfilled in her, just as they had been foretold; and, the Apostles having
|
||||
been stoned, put to flight, and slain, she was consumed by famine, war, and captivity. And
|
||||
she then proved unworthy to continue, when, having cast out the preachers of Christ, she
|
||||
showed herself unworthy of God's preaching.
