Add November Matins readings for SanctiM-track saints
14 of November's 16 SanctiM-track saints authored, including All
Saints of the Benedictine Order -- a genuinely Monastic-only feast
with both rich content and (unusually for this pass) an available
English translation. St. Martin I is another off-date case like St.
Paul the Hermit, and two more saints (St. Emilian, St. Odo) turn out
Monastic-only-but-Common-only, extending October's wrinkle.

# Matins Nocturn 2 reading for St. Clement I, Pope, Martyr (Nov 23,
# sharing the date with St. Felicitas — see st-felicitas.yml) —
# SanctiM/11-23.txt inherits the whole day (`@Sancti/11-23`) with no
# Nocturn 2/3 override, so this saint's own vita is sourced from the
# Tridentine track exactly as for a pre-1955 saint (see memory
# vu-matins-pre1955-saints, vu-matins-sanctim-saints).
# web/www/horas/Latin/Sancti/11-23.txt, English/Sancti/11-23.txt.
# Lectio4-6 combined into one reading, one continuous vita, no genuine
# source break. No responsory given in the source.

Clemens, Románus, Faustíni fílius, de regióne Cǽlii montis, discípulus beáti Petri,
cujus méminit Paulus scribens ad Philippénses: Etiam rogo et te, germáne compar,
ádjuva illas quæ mecum laboravérunt in Evangélio, cum Cleménte et céteris
adjutóribus meis, quorum nómina sunt in libro vitæ. Hic septem Urbis regiónes
divísit septem notáriis, síngulas síngulis attríbuens, qui passiónes Mártyrum et
res ab eis gestas, diligentíssime conquisítas, lítteris mandárent. Multa scripsit et
ipse accuráte et salutáriter, quibus christiánam religiónem illustrávit.
Cum autem doctrína ac vitæ sanctitáte multos ad Christi fidem convérteret, a
Trajáno imperatóre relegátus est trans mare Pónticum in solitúdine urbis Chersónæ;
in qua duo míllia Christianórum réperit, qui ab eódem Trajáno condemnáti fúerant.
Qui cum in eruéndis et secándis marmóribus aquæ penúria laborárent, Clemens, facta
oratióne, in vicínum collem ascéndit, in cujus jugo vidit Agnum déxtero pede fontem
aquæ dulcis, qui inde scatébat, attingéntem; ubi omnes sitim explevérunt. Eóque
miráculo multi infidéles, ad Christi fidem convérsi, Cleméntis étiam sanctitátem
venerári cœpérunt.
Quibus concitátus Trajánus, misit illuc qui Cleméntem, alligáta ad ejus collum
ánchora, in profúndum dejícerent. Quod cum factum esset, Christiánis ad littus
orántibus, mare ad tria milliária recéssit; eóque illi accedéntes, ædículam
marmóream in templi formam et intus arcam lapídeam, ubi Mártyris corpus cónditum
est. Ecclésia étiam in eo ínsulæ loco unde divínitus fons manárat, ejúsdem nómine
dedicáta est. Vixit in pontificátu annos novem, menses sex, dies sex. Fecit
ordinatiónes duas mense Decémbri, quibus creávit presbýteros decem, diáconos duos,
epíscopos per divérsa loca quíndecim.

Clement, the son of Faustinus, was a Roman, from the quarter of the Coelian Mount. He
was a disciple of the blessed Peter, and is the same concerning whom Paul saith,
writing to the Philippians: And I entreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those
women which laboured with me in the Gospel, with Clement also, and with other my
fellow-labourers, whose names are written in the book of life. He it was who divided
the seven quarters of the city among seven scribes, one to each, whose duty it was to
search out most carefully, and record in writing the sufferings and acts of the
Martyrs. He himself also wrote much, and that most orthodox and healthy, whereby he
clearly explained the Christian Religion.
His teaching and the holiness of his life brought many to believe in Christ, and he
was therefore exiled by the Emperor Trajan to Kherson, in the Crimea, where he found
two thousand Christians, who had been condemned by the same Trajan. There they all
worked in the marble quarries. During their labour they suffered for want of water,
and Clement prayed, and then went up an hill hard by, on the top whereof he saw a
Lamb standing, touching with its right foot a flowing spring of sweet waters.
Therewith they all quenched their thirst, and by this miracle many unbelievers were
brought to believe in Christ, and began to honour the holiness of Clement.
These things moved Trajan to send a messenger to the Crimea, who tied an anchor
about Clement's neck, and cast him into the deep of the sea. After it had been done,
while the Christians were praying on the shore, the sea went back three miles, and
when they followed it, they found a grotto of marble, in form like a temple, and
therein a stone coffin wherein was laid the body of the Martyr. A Church was also
built in the place where God had made the water to break forth. Clement lived as
Pope nine years, six months, and six days. He held two Ordinations in the month of
December, wherein he made ten Priests, two Deacons, and fifteen Bishops for diverse
places.
