13 of December's 15 SanctiM-track saints authored (st-bibiana, st-nicholas, st-ambrose, immaculate-conception, st-damasus, st-lucy, st-thomas-apostle, st-stephen-protomartyr, st-john-apostle, holy-innocents, st-thomas-becket, st-silvester-i, st-eusebius-of-vercelli); st-barbara and st-melchiades left unauthored as Common-only. This is the twelfth and final month of the SanctiM (Monastic 1617)-track saints' Matins readings pass — 129 saints authored across the whole year. Adding St. Eusebius of Vercelli's content surfaces a 3rd Matins lesson on the existing Advent III Tuesday proof date (Dec 15 falls under his commemoration); updated matins.test.ts accordingly — the "commemorations get their own reading" design working as intended, not a regression.

Eusebius, natióne Sardus, Romanæ urbis lector, post Vercellénsis epíscopus, ad hanc
|
||||
regéndam ecclésiam mérito est créditus divino eléctus judício: nam quem numquam ante
|
||||
constitúti electóres cognoverant, posthábitis civibus, simul ut vidérunt, et
|
||||
probavérunt; tantumque intérfuit, ut probarétur, quantum ut viderétur. Primus in
|
||||
Occidéntis partibus in eadem ecclésia eosdem monachos instituit esse quos clericos, ut
|
||||
esset in ipsis viris et contemptus rerum, et accurátio levitárum. Ariánis
|
||||
impietátibus ea tempestáte per Occidéntem longe lateque traductis, advérsus eas
|
||||
viríliter sic dimicávit, ut ejus invicta fides Libérium summum Pontificem ad vitæ
|
||||
solátium erigeret. Quare hic sciens in ipso fervére Spíritum Dei, cum ei significasset
|
||||
ut penes imperatórem una cum suis legátis patrocinium fidei susciperet, mox cum illis
|
||||
profectus est ad Constántium; apud quem enixius agens, quidquid legatióne petebátur,
|
||||
obtinuit, ut episcopórum nempe cœtus celebrarétur.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Colléctum est Mediolani anno sequénti concílium, ad quod a Constantio invitátum
|
||||
Eusebium concupitúmque, ac vocátum a Liberii legatis, tantum abest, ut malignántium
|
||||
synagóga Arianórum contra sanctum Athanasium furéntium in suas partes adduceret, ut
|
||||
potius diserte statim ipse declarans, e præséntibus quosdam sibi compertos hæretica
|
||||
labe pollutos, Nicænam immo fidem proposúerit iis subscribéndam, ántequam cetera
|
||||
tractaréntur. Quod Ariánis acerbe irátis negántibus, nedum in Athanasium recusávit
|
||||
ipse subscribere, quin sancti Dionýsii Mártyris, qui decéptus ab ipsis subscripserat,
|
||||
captivatam simplicitátem ingeniosíssime liberávit. Quam ob rem illi gráviter
|
||||
indignántes, post multas illatas injurias, exsílio illum mulctarunt: sed sanctus vir,
|
||||
excusso púlvere, nec cæsaris minas veritus, nec enses obstrictos, exsílium véluti sui
|
||||
ministerii offícium accépit; missusque Scythópolim, famem, sitim, verbera, divérsaque
|
||||
supplícia perpéssus, pro fide strenue vitam contempsit, mortem non metuit, corpus
|
||||
carnificibus trádidit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Quanta in eum tunc Arianórum crudelitas fúerit ac effrons inverecúndia, ostendunt
|
||||
graves litteræ plenæ róboris, pietátis ac religiónis, quas e Scythópoli scripsit ad
|
||||
Vercellensem clerum et pópulum, aliosque finítimos; e quibus étiam est explorátum,
|
||||
ipsórum nec minis, inhumanáque sævítia potuísse umquam eum deterreri, nec serpentina
|
||||
blanda subtilitate ad eórum societátem perduci. Hinc in Cappadociam, postremoque ad
|
||||
superiores Ægypti Thebáidas pro constántia sua deportatus, exsilii rigores tulit ad
|
||||
mortem usque Constantii: post quam ad gregem suum reverti permissus, non prius redire
|
||||
vóluit, quam reparandis fidei jacturis ad Alexandrinam synodum sese conferret, postque
|
||||
médici præstántis instar, péragrans Oriéntis provincias, in fide infirmos ad
|
||||
integram valetúdinem restitúeret, eos instítuens in Ecclésiæ doctrina. Inde
|
||||
salubritate pari digresso in Illyricum, tandemque in Italiam delato, ad ejus réditum
|
||||
lúgubres vestes Italia mutávit: ubi postquam Psalmórum ómnium expurgatos a se
|
||||
commentarios Orígenis édidit, Eusebiíque Cæsareénsis, quos verterat de Græco in
|
||||
Latinum; demum tot egregie factis illustris ad immarcescíbilem glóriæ corónam tantis
|
||||
ærumnis proméritam, sub Valentiniáno et Valénte Vercellis migrávit.

Eusebius was a Sardinian by birth, first a Reader in the Roman Church, and then Bishop
|
||||
of Vercelli. It seemed specially designed by Providence that he should be called to
|
||||
govern that Church, for the electors, who had never before known him, passed over,
|
||||
with a strange unanimity, all their own fellow-citizens, and chose Eusebius, as soon as
|
||||
they had seen him. He was the first Bishop in the Western Church who established an
|
||||
Order of Regular Clergy, to combine the active with the contemplative life. At this
|
||||
time the storm of Arian blasphemy and sin was sweeping far and wide over the West, and
|
||||
Eusebius set himself to fight against it so manfully, that his unshaken faith brought
|
||||
back Liberius again to life and hope. This Pope, knowing that the Spirit of God was in
|
||||
him, sent him with his Legates to the Emperor Constantius, to plead the cause of the
|
||||
Catholic Faith. His earnestness prevailed with that Prince, so that he obtained all
|
||||
that was asked for, and, among other things, permission for a Council to be summoned.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The year following, the Council met at Milan, and Eusebius, by the invitation of the
|
||||
Emperor, and the desire and command of the Papal Legates, attended. Here the Arians,
|
||||
assembled in a perfect synagogue of Satan, and all furiously raging together against
|
||||
holy Athanasius, found Eusebius one of the stoutest enemies of their faction. As soon
|
||||
as he entered the Council, he delivered a long harangue, wherein he remarked that, of
|
||||
those there gathered together, some were notoriously defiled with heresy, and
|
||||
therefore he proposed that everyone should first of all subscribe the Nicene Creed,
|
||||
before proceeding to any other business. The Arians, in a violent passion, refused,
|
||||
whereupon he on his part refused to subscribe any proceedings against Athanasius, and
|
||||
even skilfully procured the withdrawal of the signature of the holy martyr Denys, then
|
||||
Bishop of Milan, which they had lyingly procured by practising on his simplicity. The
|
||||
Arians were now entirely enraged, and, after many persecutions, procured a decree of
|
||||
banishment against Eusebius. The Saint shook off the dust of his feet against them,
|
||||
and, defying alike the threats of Caesar and the drawn swords of the soldiery, accepted
|
||||
the sentence as one of the dignities of his office. He was sent to Bethshan in the Holy
|
||||
Land, suffering hunger, thirst, stripes, and all manner of violence, but for the
|
||||
Faith's sake he despised this life, and feared not death, but freely delivered his body
|
||||
to the tormentors.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
He wrote a solemn letter from Bethshan, addressed to the clergy and people of Vercelli
|
||||
and that neighbourhood, full of constancy, devotion, and piety, describing the
|
||||
frightful cruelty and brazen impudence of the Arians. From this letter we know how
|
||||
completely they failed to scare him by their threats and their inhuman brutality, or to
|
||||
seduce him by their serpent-like cunning into receiving their communion. In consequence
|
||||
of his unshaken resolution, he was moved from Bethshan into Cappadocia, and then again,
|
||||
to the deserts of Upper Egypt. He suffered exile until the death of Constantius, after
|
||||
which he was allowed to return to his flock. First, however, he took care to attend the
|
||||
Council at Alexandria, called to heal the wounds of the Church, and, afterwards, like a
|
||||
skilful physician, he made a progress through all the provinces of the East,
|
||||
strengthening those that were weak in the Faith, and confirming them in Christian
|
||||
doctrine. Then, with the same healthful results, he passed through Illyricum into
|
||||
Italy, who, at his coming, laid aside her garments of mourning. After his return, he
|
||||
published an expurgated edition of Origen's Commentary on the Psalms, and likewise of
|
||||
the works of Eusebius of Caesarea, both which he translated from Greek into Latin. At
|
||||
length, distinguished by all these great works, he passed to that crown of glory which
|
||||
fadeth not away, promised to them who suffer for the truth. He departed this present
|
||||
life at Vercelli, in the reign of Valentinian and Valens.
