The later post-Pentecost Sundays' real Nocturn 2 patristic content isn't keyed by Pentecost offset in the reference engine — it's keyed by civil calendar month/week (the old "Scriptura occurrens" cycle), which shifts relative to post-pentecost-NN every year depending on Easter's date. Port Date.pm's monthday() algorithm (pre-1955/Tridentine rubrics) as a new, date-driven id, author all 20 August-November month-week files from the reference engine's Tempora/0MN-0.txt sources, and pool them in hours/matins.ts as a third, independent reading source alongside the existing temporalId lookup.

Quia fortitúdo non solum secúndis rebus, sed étiam advérsis probátur, spectémus Judæ Machabǽi
|
||||
éxitum. Is enim post victum Nicánorem, regis Demétrii ducem, secúrior advérsus vigínti míllia
|
||||
exércitus regis, cum octingéntis viris bellum adórsus, voléntibus his cédere, ne multitúdine
|
||||
opprimeréntur, gloriósam magis mortem quam turpem fugam suásit: Ne crimen, inquit, nostræ
|
||||
relinquámus glóriæ. Ita commísso prǽlio, cum a primo ortu diéi in vésperam dimicarétur, dextrum
|
||||
cornu, in quo validíssimam manum advértit hóstium, aggréssus fácile avértit. Sed dum fugiéntes
|
||||
séquitur, a tergo vúlneri locum prǽbuit; ítaque gloriosiórem triúmphis mortem invénit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Quid Jónatham fratrem ejus attéxam, qui cum parva manu advérsus exércitus régios pugnans,
|
||||
desértus a suis et cum duóbus tantum relíctus, reparávit bellum, avértit hostem, fugitántes
|
||||
suos ad societátem revocávit triúmphi? Habes fortitúdinem béllicam, in qua non medíocris
|
||||
honésti ac decóri forma est, quod mortem servitúti prǽferat ac turpitúdini. Quid autem de
|
||||
Mártyrum dicam passiónibus? Et ne lóngius evagémur, non minórem de supérbo rege Antíocho
|
||||
Machabǽi púeri revexérunt triúmphum, quam paréntes próprii; síquidem illi armáti, isti sine
|
||||
armis vicérunt.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Stetit invícta septem puerórum cohors, régiis cincta legiónibus: defecérunt supplícia,
|
||||
cessérunt tortóres, non defecérunt Mártyres. Alius córium cápitis exútus, spéciem mutáverat,
|
||||
virtútem áuxerat. Alius linguam jussus amputándam prómere, respóndit: Non solos Dóminus audit
|
||||
loquéntes, qui audiébat Móysen tacéntem; plus audit tácitas cogitatiónes suórum, quam voces
|
||||
ómnium. Linguæ flagéllum times, flagéllum sánguinis non times? Habet et sanguis vocem suam, qua
|
||||
clamat ad Deum, sicut clamávit in Abel.

As fortitude is proved not only by prosperity but also in adversity, let us now consider the
|
||||
death of Judas Maccabæus. For he, after Nicanor, the general of King Demetrius, was defeated,
|
||||
boldly engaged twenty thousand of the king's army with eight hundred men who were anxious to
|
||||
retire for fear of being overcome by so great a multitude, but whom he persuaded to endure a
|
||||
glorious death rather than to retire in disgraceful flight. "Let us not leave," he says, "any
|
||||
stain upon our glory." Thus, then, engaging in battle after having fought from sunrise till
|
||||
evening, he attacks and quickly drives back the right wing, where he sees the strongest troop
|
||||
of the enemy to be. But while pursuing the fugitives from the rear, he gave a chance for a
|
||||
wound to be inflicted. (1 Mac. 9:8.) Thus he found the spot of death more full of glory for
|
||||
himself than any triumph.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Why need I further mention his brother Jonathan, who fought against the king's force, with but
|
||||
a small troop? (1 Mac. 11:68.) Though forsaken by his men, and left with only two, he retrieved
|
||||
the battle, drove back the enemy, and recalled his own men, who were flying in every direction,
|
||||
to share in his triumph. Here, then, is fortitude in war, which bears no light impress of what
|
||||
is virtuous and seemly upon it, for it prefers death to slavery and disgrace. But what am I to
|
||||
say of the sufferings of the martyrs? Not to go too far abroad, did not the children of
|
||||
Maccabæus gain triumphs over the proud King Antiochus, as great as those of their fathers? The
|
||||
latter in truth were armed, but they conquered without arms.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The company of the seven brothers stood unconquered, though surrounded by the legions of the
|
||||
king — tortures failed, tormentors ceased; but the martyrs failed not. One, having had the skin
|
||||
of his head pulled off, though changed in appearance, grew in courage. Another, bidden to put
|
||||
forth his tongue, so that it might be cut off, answered: "The Lord hears not only those who
|
||||
speak, for He heard Moses when silent. He hears better the silent thoughts of His own than the
|
||||
voice of all others. Do you fear the scourge of my tongue, and do you not fear the scourge of
|
||||
blood spilt upon the ground? Blood, too, has a voice whereby it cries aloud to God, as it did
|
||||
in the case of Abel."
