Felix, Diocletiano et Maximiano imperatoribus, propter susceptam Christi religionem
|
|
comprehensus, in Serapidis templum adductus est. Cui sacrificare cum juberetur, os simulacri
|
|
conspuit. Quo facto, statim serea statua corruit. Quod cum iterum ac tertio in sede Mercurii
|
|
Dianæque factum esset, impietatis et magicæ artis accusatus, equuleo torquetur. Mox ad
|
|
secundum ab Urbe lapidem via Ostiensi ducitur, ut securi feriretur. Cui inter viam oblatus
|
|
quidam Christianus, cum Felicem agnoscens ad martyrium duci videret, Ego quoque, clara voce
|
|
inquit, eadem, qua iste, lege vivo; ego eumdem Jesum Christum colo. Itaque Felicem osculatus,
|
|
cum eo securi percutitur, tertio Kalendas Septembris. Cujus nomen cum ignotum esset
|
|
Christianis, is Adaucti nomine nobilitatus est, quod sancto Martyri Felici adauctus sit ad
|
|
coronam.

Felix was arrested in the reign of the Emperors Diocletian and Maximian, on the charge of
|
|
having embraced the Christian Faith, and was brought to the temple of Serapis. When he was
|
|
ordered to offer sacrifice, he spat in the face of the brazen idol, which thereupon fell
|
|
down. When this happened a second and third time in the temples of Mercury and Diana, he was
|
|
accused of impiety and magic, and tortured upon the rack. It was not long, however, before he
|
|
was led out to the second mile-stone upon the road to Ostia, to be smitten with the axe. As
|
|
they were on the way thither, they chanced to meet a certain Christian, who, when he knew
|
|
that Felix was going to finish his testimony, said aloud, I live by the same law as he doth;
|
|
I worship the same Christ Jesus. And therewith he kissed Felix, and they were beheaded
|
|
together, upon the 30th day of August. What the name of the second person was the Christians
|
|
never knew, and he is therefore honoured under the title of Him-who-was-added, that is,
|
|
added to the company of the Holy Martyr Felix in winning of the crown.
