+        Nazarius, a beato Lino papa baptizatus, cum in Gálliam profectus esset, ibi Celsum púerum, a
+        se christiánis præceptis prius instructum, baptizávit. Qui una Trévirim euntes, Nerónis
+        persecutióne, in mare uterque dejícitur, unde mirabíliter evasérunt. Postea Mediolanum
+        veniéntes, cum ibi Christi fidem disseminárent, ab Anolino præfecto, constantíssime Christum
+        Deum confiténtes, cápite plectúntur: quorum córpora extra portam Romanam sepúlta sunt. Quæ
+        cum diu latuíssent, Dei mónitu a beato Ambrosio conspersa recénti sánguine sunt invénta,
+        tamquam si paulo ante martyrium passi essent; unde, in urbem translata, honorifico sepúlcro
+        contecta sunt.

+        Nazarius was baptized by the blessed Pope Linus, and afterwards went to Gaul. There he met
+        with the boy Celsus, whom he instructed in the Christian law, and baptized. They went
+        together to Trier, and, in the persecution under Nero, were both thrown into the sea, from
+        which they had a marvellous escape. Later on, they came to Milan, where they spread the
+        Faith of Christ, and as they remained firm in declaring that He is God, the Prefect Anolinus
+        had them beheaded. Their bodies were buried outside the Roman gate, and lay long unknown,
+        till, by a revelation from God, Blessed Ambrose found them, smeared with fresh blood, as
+        though they had only a short time undergone martyrdom. They were taken up from thence,
+        carried into the city, and laid in an honourable sepulchre.

+        Victor in Africa natus, Sevéro imperatóre rexit Ecclésiam. Confirmávit decretum Pii primi,
+        ut sacrum Pascha die Dominico celebrarétur: qui ritus ut póstea in mores inducerétur, habita
+        sunt multis in locis concília; et in Nicæna dénique prima synodo sancítum est, ut Paschæ dies
+        festus post quartam décimam lunam agerétur, ne Christiáni Judæos imitari videréntur. Státuit
+        ut quavis aqua, modo naturali, si necessitas cógeret, quicúmque baptizari posset. Theódotum
+        Coriárium Byzantinum, docéntem Christum tantummodo hóminem fuísse, ejécit ex Ecclésia.
+        Scripsit de quæstióne Paschæ et alia quædam opúscula. Creávit duabus ordinatiónibus, mense
+        Decembri, presbyteros quatuor, diaconos septem, episcopos per diversa loca duodecim.
+        Martyrio coronátus, sepelítur in Vaticano, quinto Kalendas Augusti. Sedit annos novem,
+        mensem unum, dies viginti octo.

+        Victor was by birth an African, and governed the Church in the time of the Emperor Severus.
+        He confirmed the decree of Pius I that the Holy Passover should be kept upon the Lord's Day.
+        To bring this rule into use, Councils were held in many places, and in the First Synod of
+        Nice it was decided that the Holy Passover Day should be kept after the 14th day of the
+        month (Nisan), lest the Christians should seem to be copying the Jews. Victor decided that
+        if need be, baptism can be administered with any water, as long as it be natural. He cast
+        out of the Church Theodotus the tanner, of Constantinople, who taught that Christ was
+        nothing but a man. He wrote upon the subject of the Passover, and some other small works. He
+        held two Ordinations in the month of December, wherein he ordained four Priests, seven
+        Deacons, and twelve Bishops for diverse places. He received the crown of his testimony, and
+        was buried at the Vatican on the 28th day of July. He sat in the throne of Peter nine years,
+        one month, and twenty-eight days.

+        Innocentius Albanénsis, sancti Hierónymi et Augustíni ætate flóruit. De quo ille ad
+        Demetríadem vírginem: Sancti Innocentii, qui apostolicæ cathedræ et beátæ memóriæ Anastasii
+        successor et fílius est, teneas fidem nec peregrinam, quamvis tibi prudens callídaque
+        videaris, doctrinam recipias. Eum, tamquam justum Lot subtractum Dei providéntia, ad
+        Ravennam servátum fuísse, scribit Orósius, ne Romani pópuli vidéret excidium. Is, Pelagio et
+        Cælestio damnatis, contra eórum hæresim decretum fecit, ut párvuli, ex christiana étiam
+        mulíere nati, per baptismum renasci debérent; ut in eis regeneratióne mundétur, quod
+        generatióne contraxérunt. Probávit etiam, ut Sábbato, ob memóriam Christi Dómini sepultúræ
+        jejunium servarétur. Sedit annos quíndecim, mensem unum, dies decem. Quatuor ordinatiónibus,
+        mense Decembri, creávit presbyteros trigínta, diaconos quíndecim, episcopos per diversa loca
+        quinquagínta quatuor. Sepultus est in cœmeterio ad Ursum pileátum.

+        Innocent of Albano flourished in the time of St. Jerome and St. Augustine. Concerning him,
+        St. Jerome saith, writing to Demetrias: Keep firm hold on the faith of holy Innocent, who is
+        the heir and the child of the Apostolic See, and of Anastasius of blessed memory, and receive
+        not any strange doctrine, how wise and acute soever thou mayest count thyself. Orosius
+        writeth that God kept Innocent at Ravenna that he might not see the destruction of the Roman
+        people, even as righteous Lot was withdrawn by God's Providence. He condemned Pelagius and
+        Caelestius, and made a decree against their heresy, that little children, even those whose
+        mother was a Christian, must be born again in baptism, that the new birth may wash away in
+        them the stain which they have contracted in their conception. He approved also that a Fast
+        should be kept upon Saturday in memory of the Lord Christ's lying in the grave on that day.
+        He sat in the throne of Peter fifteen years, one month, and ten days. He held four
+        Ordinations in the month of December, and made therein thirty Priests, fifteen Deacons, and
+        forty-four Bishops for diverse places. He was buried in the Bear-and-Cap Cemetery.
