|
# borrowed from St. Anacletus's own file but proper to this day too) —

# kept as two separate readings. Lectio5-6 combined into one (continuous,

Polycárpus, Joánnis Apóstoli discípulus et ab eo Smyrnæ epíscopus ordinátus, totíus Asiæ
|
|
princeps fuit, quippe qui nonnúllos Apostolórum et eórum qui víderant Dóminum, magístros
|
|
habúerit et víderit. Hic propter quasdam super die Paschæ quæstiónes, sub imperatóre
|
|
Antoníno Pio, Ecclésiam in Urbe regénte Anicéto, Romam venit; ubi plúrimos credéntium,
|
|
Marciónis et Valentíni persuasióne decéptos, redúxit ad fidem. Cumque ei fortúito óbviam
|
|
fuísset Márcion et díceret: Cognóscis nos? respóndit: Cognósco primogénitum diáboli. Póstea
|
|
vero, regnánte Marco Antoníno et Lúcio Aurélio Cómmodo, quarta post Nerónem persecutióne,
|
|
Smyrnæ, sedénte procónsule et univérso pópulo in amphitheátro advérsus eum personánte, igni
|
|
tráditus est. Scripsit ad Philippénses valde útilem epístolam, quæ usque hódie in Asiæ
|
|
convéntu légitur.

Polycarp was a disciple of the Apostle John, and was consecrated by him Bishop of Smyrna. He
|
|
was reckoned the chief of all the Christians of Asia, because he had been taught by several
|
|
of the Apostles, and other persons who had seen the Lord. During the reign of the Emperor
|
|
Antoninus Pius, and while Anicetus presided over the Church of Rome, Polycarp came thither
|
|
to discuss some questions regarding the time for observing Easter. He found some heretics
|
|
at Rome, who had been led astray by the doctrine of Marcion and Valentine, and brought back
|
|
many of them to the faith. One day Marcion met him by accident, and said to him: Do you
|
|
recognise me? whereto he replied: I recognise the devil's eldest son. Some time after, in
|
|
the reign of Mark Antonine and Lucius Aurelius Commodus, during the fourth persecution
|
|
since Nero, when the Pro-consul was ruling in Smyrna, the whole population being assembled
|
|
in the theatre, clamoured against Polycarp, and to please them he was burnt. He wrote an
|
|
extremely useful Epistle to the Philippians, which is publicly read in the Churches of Asia
|
|
even to this day.

Principes persecuti sunt me gratis: et a verbis tuis trepidavit cor meum. Bene hoc Martyr
|
|
dicit, quod injuste persecutionum tormenta sustineat: qui nihil rapuerit, nullum violentus
|
|
oppresserit, nullius sanguinem fuderit, nullius torum putaverit esse violandum: qui nihil
|
|
legibus debeat, et graviora latronum sustinere cogatur supplicia: qui loquatur juste, et non
|
|
audiatur: qui loquatur plena salutis, et impugnetur: ut possit dicere, Cum loquebar illis,
|
|
impugnabant me gratis. Gratis igitur persecutionem patitur, qui impugnatur sine crimine
|
|
impugnatur ut noxius, cum sit in tali confessione laudabilis: impugnatur quasi veneficus,
|
|
qui in nomine Domini gloriatur, cum pietas virtutum omnium fundamentum sit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Vere frustra impugnatur, qui apud impios et infidos impietatis arcessitur, cum fidei sit
|
|
magister. Verum qui gratis impugnatur, fortis debet esse et constans, quomodo ergo
|
|
subtexuit: Et a verbis tuis trepidavit cor meum? Trepidare infirmitatis est, timoris atque
|
|
formidinis. Sed est étiam infirmitas ad salutem, est étiam timor sanctorum. Timete Dominum
|
|
omnes sancti ejus: et, Beatus vir, qui timet Dominum. Qua ratione beatus? Quia in mandatis
|
|
ejus cupit nimis.

Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. These
|
|
are rightly the words of a martyr, who beareth unjustly the torments of the persecutors,
|
|
who hath robbed no man, who hath violently oppressed no man, who hath shed the blood of no
|
|
man, who hath imagined to defile the bed of no man, who is debtor to the laws in nothing,
|
|
and who is punished more grievously than if he were a robber: who speaketh righteousness,
|
|
and there is none that will hear: who speaketh salvation, and all men fight against him: who
|
|
is able to say: "When I spoke unto them, they fought against me without a cause." (Ps.
|
|
cxix. 7.) They fight against him without a cause, who can lay no sin to his charge; they
|
|
fight against him as an evildoer, who is by their own acknowledgment righteous: they fight
|
|
against him as a warlock, who glorieth in the name of the Lord, and who doeth all things
|
|
well because he doeth all things for God's sake.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Verily, him that is fought against without a cause it behoveth to be strong and patient.
|
|
Wherefore then saith he: My heart standeth in awe of thy word? Awe is the mark of the weak,
|
|
the timid, and the fearful. But there is also a weakness unto salvation, there is a fear
|
|
which is an holy fear. O fear the Lord, all ye His Saints. (Ps. xxxiii. 10.) And again:
|
|
Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord. (Ps. cxi. 1.) And wherefore is he blessed? because
|
|
he delighteth greatly in His commandments.
