At + Constantinople, in especial, he sat at the feet of Gregory of Nazianzus, from whom he + professeth himself to have learnt his theology. Then, for godliness' sake, he went to + see the home of the Lord Christ, and so throughout all Palestine. He witnesseth that + this pilgrimage, wherein he got the help of the most learned of the Jews for the + understanding of the Holy Scriptures, did him much good. + + + He withdrew himself into the wild deserts of Syria, where he passed four years in + studying the Holy Scriptures and in considering the blessedness of heaven, afflicting + his body by alway denying himself, by bitter tears, and by chastisement of the flesh. He + was ordained Priest by Paulinus, Patriarch of Antioch. He went to Rome on account of the + quarrelling of certain Bishops with Paulinus and Epiphanius, and there helped Pope + Damasus in the writing of his letters upon Church affairs. But the longing for his old + solitude came upon him, and he went back to Palestine, where, in the monastery at + Bethlehem, built beside the cradle of the Lord Christ by the Lady Paula of Rome, he set + himself to enter on earth upon the life of heaven, serving God in reading and writing + without ceasing, regardless of the sufferings of a body tormented by diverse diseases + and pains. + + + Hard questions upon the interpretation of the Holy Scripture were sent to him from all + parts of the earth, as to an oracle.

He attacked heretics with keen publications, and ever undertook the + defence of the godly and Catholic. He translated the Old Testament from Hebrew into + Latin, and, at the command of Damasus, reformed, according to the original Greek, the + existing version of the New. Upon great part of the Scriptures he wrote commentaries. + He translated likewise into Latin the works of many learned men, and himself + contributed to the Christian life many monuments of his own wit.

Nearly every page of the holy Word witnesseth that + there be Angels and Archangels. The books of the Prophets, as is well known, do + oftentimes make mention of Cherubim and Seraphim. Paul, writing to the Ephesians, + counteth up the names of four Orders, where he saith: The Father of glory raised Christ + from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all + Principality, and Power, and Might, and Dominion. And the same, again, writing to the + Colossians, saith: By the Son were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are + in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be Thrones, or Dominions, or + Principalities, or Powers. If, then, we add the Thrones to the four Orders of which he + spake unto the Ephesians, we have five Orders; and when we add unto them the Angels and + the Archangels, the Cherubim and the Seraphim, we find that the Orders of Angels are + beyond all doubt nine. + + + But we must know that the word Angel is the designation, not of a nature, but of an + office. Those holy spirits in the heavenly fatherland are always spirits, but they may + no wise be always called Angels, which is, being interpreted, messengers, for they are + Angels only when they are sent as Messengers. Hence also it is said by the Psalmist: Who + makest spirits thine Angels! As if it were: Of them who are always with Him as spirits, + He doth somewhiles make use as Messengers. They who go on the lesser messages are called + Angels; they who go on the greater, Archangels. Hence it is that unto the Virgin Mary was + sent no common Angel, but the Archangel Gabriel. For the delivery of this, the highest + message, it was meet that there should be sent the highest Angel.

Unto Mary is + sent Gabriel, whose name is interpreted the Strength of God, for he came to herald the + appearing of Him Who was content to appear lowly that He might fight down the powers of + the air.
