Dionysius Atheniensis, unus ex Areopagitis judicibus, vir fuit omni doctrinæ genere
|
||||
instinctus. Qui cum adhuc in Gentilitatis errore versaretur, eo die quo Christus Dominus
|
||||
cruci affixus est, solem præter naturam defecisse animadvertens, exclamasse traditur: Aut
|
||||
Deus naturæ patitur, aut mundi machina dissolvetur. Sed cum Paulus Apostolus veniens Athenas,
|
||||
et in Areopagum ductus, rationem reddidisset ejus doctrinæ quam prædicabat, affirmans
|
||||
Christum Dominum resurrexisse, et mortuos omnes in vitam redituros esse: cum alii multi, tum
|
||||
ipse Dionysius in Christum credidit.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Itaque et baptizatus est ab Apostolo, et Atheniensium ecclesiæ præfectus. Qui cum postea
|
||||
Romam venisset, a Clemente Pontifice missus est in Galliam prædicandi Evangelii causa. Quem
|
||||
Lutétiam usque Parisiorum Rusticus presbyter, et Eleutherius diaconus prosecuti sunt: ubi a
|
||||
Fescennio præfecto, quod multos ad christianam religionem convertisset, ipse cum sociis
|
||||
virgis cæsus est: cumque in prædicatione christianæ fidei constantissime perseveraret, in
|
||||
craticulam subjecto igne injicitur, multisque præterea suppliciis una cum sociis cruciatur.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Sed ea tormentorum genera omnibus forti ac libenti animo perferentibus Dionysius annum agens
|
||||
supra centesimum, cum reliquis securi percutitur septimo Idus Octobris. De quo illud memoriæ
|
||||
proditum est, abscissum suum caput sustulisse, et progressum ad duo millia passuum in manibus
|
||||
gestasse. Libros scripsit admirabiles, ac plane cælestes, de divinis nominibus, de cælesti et
|
||||
ecclesiastica hierarchia, de mystica theologia, et alios quosdam.

Denis was an Athenian, one of the Judges of the Court of the Areopagus, and a man of varied
|
||||
and deep learning. There is a story concerning him that on the day when the Lord Christ was
|
||||
nailed to the Cross, and when he saw the unnatural eclipse of the sun, Denis said: Either the
|
||||
God of nature is suffering, or the frame-work of the world is breaking up. When the Apostle
|
||||
Paul came to Athens, and was taken and brought unto the Areopagus, and gave an account of the
|
||||
faith which he preached, affirming that Christ had risen from the dead, and that all the dead
|
||||
likewise are to live again, some mocked, and others said: We will hear thee again of this
|
||||
matter. So Paul departed from among them. Howbeit, certain men clave unto him, and believed;
|
||||
among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Denis was baptized by the Apostle, and set over the Church of the Athenians. He came
|
||||
afterwards to Rome, and was sent by Pope Clement into Gaul, to preach the Gospel. There
|
||||
followed him to Paris one Rusticus a Priest, and Eleutherius a Deacon. He turned many to
|
||||
Christ, and was therefore beaten with rods by command of Fescennius the Prefect, and,
|
||||
forasmuch as he still went on bravely preaching Christ, he was tortured with fire upon a
|
||||
grating, and put to diverse other torments, and his comrades likewise.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
They bore their torments bravely and cheerfully, and then Denis, being over an hundred years
|
||||
of age, and his two comrades with him, suffered by the axe. This is that Denis concerning
|
||||
whom the old story is told that after his head was cut off he took it in his hands and
|
||||
walked two thousand paces, carrying it all the while. He was the author of some marvellous
|
||||
books, clear proofs of a mind fixed in heaven, upon The Names of God, upon The Orders in
|
||||
Heaven and in the Church, upon The Mystic Theology, and diverse others.

Evaristus was by birth a Greek Jew, and held the Popedom in the reign of the Emperor Trajan.
|
||||
He it was who divided among the Priests the titles of the Churches in the city of Rome, and
|
||||
commanded that seven Deacons should attend the Bishop when he was executing his office of
|
||||
Gospel preaching. He it was who commanded, in accordance with the tradition of the Apostles,
|
||||
that marriages should be celebrated openly, and that a Priest should be asked to invoke a
|
||||
blessing thereon. He ruled the Church for nine years and three months. He held four
|
||||
Ordinations in the month of December, wherein he ordained seventeen Priests, two Deacons,
|
||||
and fifteen Bishops. Having finished his testimony, he was buried upon the Vatican, hard by
|
||||
the grave of the Prince of the Apostles, upon the 26th day of October.
