ON S. EMANUS THE PRESBYTER, MAURILIUS AND ALMARUS,

MARTYRS IN THE TERRITORY OF CHARTRES IN GAUL.

CENT. VI

[Preface]

Emanus Presb. Martyr in the territory of Chartres (S.)

Maurilius, Martyr in the territory of Chartres (S.)

Almarus, Martyr in the territory of Chartres (S.)

BY THE AUTHOR G. H.

Carnutum or Carnotum, to the ancients Autricum,
city of Gaul Episcopal on the river
Audur & head of Belsia, [Cult on 16 May.] celebrates
on this XVI May the feast of S. Emanus the Martyr
with ecclesiastical office both in the city &
the rest of the diocese under semi-double rite, & three lessons which
in the second Nocturn at Matins are prescribed to be recited, are taken from his ancient Life. This we give from
a double MS. codex, [Life from Mss.] one of which the Vendomian calls
Andreas du Chesne, illustrious for his manifold erudition, who
having transcribed it from there sent it to us; the other from Rouen we received
from P. Fredericus Flouet, transcribed from MS. of D. Bigotius Senator
of Rouen. [& miracles by a contemporary author,] The author in the Prologue desiring
to praise the Lord in S. Emanus, recalling his deeds and also
his passion, asserts that he wishes to do it so, that
nothing about the said Saint's actions the page contains,
which is not either to his own sight shown, or
by the mouth of those seeing has been insinuated. Which although
chiefly about the things & miracles, wrought among the Chartres people, is understood;
yet true cannot be, unless we confess that by another author was added
the last number, where it is said, after many courses
of years the body of B. Emanus translated
to the city of Chartres. [The time of the Life is doubtful.] For this manner of speaking
supposes a writer, more remote from the very age of the Saint.
This being granted, that much later another these
Acts transcribed and interpolated, you will not wonder at the name of the Roman Pontiff,
under whom S. Emanus studied at Rome,
& whom the first author had neglected to name, by exorbitant
enormous conjecture supplied in no. 2, by designating
B. Leo, by which name the first sat in the fifth century,
the second moreover in the seventh: when meanwhile in no. 6 then
when into Gaul crossed the Saint, is said Theodebert
to have administered the kingdom of the Franks, & in no. 4 & 10 is indicated
Nectarius Bishop of Autun, who
flourished with King Theodebert in the sixth century of Christ. Of these
meanwhile mention omitted, in the Breviary of Chartres in the year
1633 printed only is recalled Leo Pontifex
Maximus. The very Lessons are these.

[2] Emanus, Cappadocian by race, in the studies of the best arts,
to which from boyhood he had inclined, was excellently learned.
But when from a vow & pious desire, [Epitome from the Breviary of Chartres.]
to Rome, to visit the monuments of the blessed Apostles Peter
& Paul, he had come; Leo Pontifex Maximus,
on account of his doctrine & religion, most kindly
received him: but also fostering his studies, in great
part advanced his most happy nature by his liberality,
that to the Ecclesiastical function, for which he seemed to be born,
he could be equal. At Rome for the cause of more easily acquiring sacred letters
he stayed for seven years, fulfilling all
with highest hope & expectation of him.
Thence to Milan & Autun with religious devotion
he went, that the sacred memorials of the Martyrs Nazarius &
Symphorianus he might venerate. But among many other things
which were preclarely done by him among the Aedui,
this most worthy can be held, that for the doors
of the temple a lame man keeping watch to pristine health
he obtained to be restored by his prayers. Furthermore when most
he could in sound doctrine exhort, & convince contradictors,
divinely in dreams he was admonished,
that for disseminating the word of God to Chartres he should set out.
Hither therefore, not unmindful of his vocation,
without delay he hastens, prepared for any
dangers to be approached, for the safety of the flock entrusted to him to be guarded;
indeed even to death itself, if any necessity
demanded it, to be undergone. But while with wonderful sanctimony of life
& integrity of morals he sweated in all the care of his ministry,
by the persecutors of the faith, in a certain remote
solitude of the Chartres country, together with his companions
Maurilius & Almarus he was miserably slain, on the seventeenth
Kalends of June. Thus there. Who three together are celebrated
in MS. under the name of Usuard, & MS. Florarium
of Saints, & by Greven in the Auctarium of Usuard.

[3] Saussay in the Gallican Martyrology on this day
XVI May, with the companions Maurilius & Almarus omitted, [Who the companions in the slaying were.] assigns
a single one, & calls him Peregrinus, of whom in the Acts no
mention is made. But did they call Emanus Peregrinus,
because he had come from Cappadocia? or rather thence
was the error, because on the same day among the Chartres people is prescribed
the Commemoration of S. Peregrinus the Bishop & Martyr,
but of Auxerre, about whom on this day we treated? Besides
in Saussay no mention is made of S. Leo the Pope, indeed
neither of Nectarius the Bishop or of Theodebert the King.
Which we, the whole matter considered, opine ought to be said, is;
that the contemporary writer & the same Gallic & of Chartres, ought
to know under what King precisely, & by what Bishop into
Gaul the Saint was led; & also his name
in his writing to insert; [Whether he flourished in the 6 century,] not also the name of the Roman Pontiff,
who before so many years sat; but his interpolations supposing
the name of Leo, as of the most celebrated Pontiff, the place
he corrupted: & thus he came into Gaul in the sixth century, under
Theodebert the King; & at Autun he was, when
there S. Nectarius presided over the Church. In the MS. Martyrology
old, toward the end thus is held on XI Kalends
of June: On the same day in the country of Chartres near the Cell
Islaris, the nativity of S. Emanus the Martyr. Thus
inscribed to the MS. Life of Rouen, but perhaps to be read
on XVII Kalends of June, as everywhere in the Life
is held.

FROM A MS.

PROLOGUE.

[1] The frequentation of divine praise to be of great & most salutary
religion shows in the Psalms
the so often repeated exhortation of that very praise. Among whose
manifoldness of praise not little stands that praising,
by which we are commanded to praise the Lord God in His Saints.
In them altogether, of whom elsewhere is read, wonderful
God in His Saints. Such therefore having a precept,
let us choose to praise the Lord in his holy Martyr
Emanus; [The praise of the Saints redounds to God.] namely his deeds, & also
the passion, which with SS. Maurilius & Almarus he suffered,
recalling narrating, & narrating recalling.
For behold even if too thin & inexperienced of this
writing the authors are reckoned, yet does not disdain
the Lord the praises, which on account of the devotion
of His Saints to Him are exhibited. For if in ancient
times for gratuitous delight were tragedies &
comedies, which the authors of these with much fabulosity
pursued, no doubt that to our Redeemer
& to the faithful of God's holy Church in the deeds of the Saints,
which with veridical style are produced, they please.
For so much do these things which are to be narrated shine with the simplicity of truth,
that nothing about the said Saint's actions
the page contains, which is not either to his own sight
shown, or by the mouth of those seeing has been insinuated. Whence
if these were held in the prison of silence; I should fear altogether lest
of that servant, hiding the talent under the bushel, the discrimination
I should lie under. I shall undertake therefore by God's authoring
the theme of the promised work: & lest by superfluity of prolixity
I offend the souls of those reading and at the same time
of those hearing, succinct in it as narrator I shall labor to be held.

CHAPTER I.

Country Cappadocia. Acts at Rome, Milan, Autun. Miracles.

[2] [Born in Cappadocia,] Therefore B. Emanus the Martyr, of the region of Cappadocia
was sprung. Who namely from the first rudiments of infancy,
in spiritual doctrines was learned. Then
in the years of childhood placed, with good morals he began to please God.
For whatever salutary by hearing he could perceive,
to tenacious memory rather he commended.
And when now in greater age he was advancing, with all the strengths
of his inmost being he began more & more to the heavenly
to pant. Finally when now the flowers of adolescence he entered,
admonished by divine oracle, that as another Abraham the land
of his nativity leaving, to Rome he came; namely
that B. Peter & Paul the Apostles' & of others there
Saints' thresholds praying he might visit, & that with examples
the profit of his life there he might take. Who there at that
time presided over [a] the Apostolic Cathedra, the said
adolescent most kindly received, [At Rome with the Pope tending him,] & for the divine
cult fit understanding, in literal studies
he handed him over: by whose doctrine most fully educated,
in such a degree suddenly the summit of these shone forth,
that altogether for this exercise to the Roman people he was held praiseworthy.
And because most fully filled with the grace of the Holy Spirit,
spiritually acting & by literal studies learning
he served; [he studies seven years,] the circle of seven years under
this study with the same Apostolic he completed.

[3] Having heard the signs of virtues, which the Lord
through [b] B. Nazarius at that time at Milan
worked, kindled with holy desire, hastily
he disposed to set out thither. Approaching finally to
the aforesaid Pope, he made known to him the cause of his desire.
The venerable Apostolic indeed having heard these things, gave thanks to God,
who had inspired these to his heart. The journey's
provision also being granted to him, he admonished, that always those things which
are God's studiously he should accomplish: finally with benediction received, [He stays at Milan two years,]
as we have said, & by the same Pontiff most religiously
having said farewell, he went to the city of Milan:
& in the church, in which the Body of S. Nazarius rests,
for two years he persisted.

[4] Meanwhile while there he dwelt together,
by a heavenly vision he is admonished, that to the Autun city of the Gauls,
hastening he should dispose to journey: [admonished by divine warning to go to Autun,] for &
there at that time through B. Symphorianus omnipotent
God exercised very many prodigies of miracles.
By which namely the man of God admonished by vision,
he hastened as quickly as possible to obey divine commands. At length
therefore him desiring to hasten his journey thither the Consoler of all,
the help of consolation provided for him;
because he is always present to those hoping in himself, to all in himself
believing what just things are piously administering. At the same time
therefore the venerable [d] Nectarius, of the same
city the Bishop, [in the company of S. Nectarius] going to S. Nazarius for the same vow
for the cause of prayer, found there the man of God Emanus:
whom about his nativity or whence he had drawn his origin
inquiring, by his placid address learned,
him from the Cappadocian province born: & to the question
adding a question, he asks
of him whither he was going. To whom the man of God Emanus responded:
By a nocturnal vision I am admonished, that into Gaul
to S. Symphorianus the Martyr to pray: whose
sacred Body outside the wall of the Aeduan city buried
rests. Subjoined to him B. Nectarius, saying:
I, although unworthy, am Bishop of that place:
but if of your will the hope is, let us walk together, & I will be
companion of your journey. Made therefore the man of God Emanus
companion of the journey of the Bishop, came to the thresholds of S.
Symphorianus, as had been ordered to him.

[5] [going there.] But that now to the world might be shown the virtue
of sanctity, which lay hidden in B. Emanus, on the morrow came
to the thresholds of S. Symphorianus a certain lame man begging.
Having completed therefore the man of God Emanus for which
he had come the mystery of prayers, [he heals the lame man by prayer.] going out from the church he saw
the same lame man: with whose feebleness having compassion,
soon to the church he returns, & with prayer that
day & night is occupied. On the next day returning,
& having seized his hand, with the name of the Lord invoked,
continually for his limbs' health long
desired sanity he obtained.

[6] But with some years there elapsed from the time
of his peregrination, on a certain night when he had given himself to sleep
a heavenly vision addresses him, that to the parts of Gaul
proceeding, Chartres, Neustrian city, for the cause of preaching the word of God undaunted he should go: [He came to Chartres:] for
that same city at that time not only in all works,
but also in illustrious men strongly abounded.
Then early rising the man of God, not after much
time the walls of the aforesaid city with Christ's nod
he enters. There preaching the word of God to the citizens,
for two years he dwelt together, & many to the faith
of Christ converted. At that time the most pre-excellent
King [e] Theodebert administered the kingdom of the Franks
strenuously: who not only in
civil causes, but also in Ecclesiastical things to be disposed
was greatly studious. Of this renowned King
in the time, this most blessed man into Gaul with the Lord
leading came. But these things being passed by to our
narration of the order of history let us return.

[7] But while in the aforesaid city of Chartres he stayed,
the revelation of certain Martyrs of Christ, themselves
revealing themselves, appeared to him, the text of whose passion
is reported to have been such. For a certain venerable
Deacon, on account of his necessity, with his Cleric
came to a village, which is called Celsiacus: & with all things accomplished
for which he had come there, it was made,
when from there he was returning, that on the bank of the river,
to which the name is [f] Audura, to rest, &
his horses for the fodder of grass somewhat to refresh, [warned by a vision he buries the bodies of the Martyrs.]
he turned aside. It happened indeed that in the same place by certain
robbers with his companion he was killed, & into
that very water was thrown. After a few days finally
appeared through a vision to the man of God Emanus, saying,
Come servant of Christ, lift our little bodies from the water,
because there food of fishes we are; but also wolves
us altogether to be devoured from there to draw out attempt. Signifying
therefore to him the place, immediately they disappeared. At dawn
therefore the man of God Emanus rising, came to
the river in which they had been thrown. Having poured out for them
prayer, their little bodies from the water he brought forth, & to
the city carrying outside the wall of the city worthily he buried.

[8] After these things when in that very city in prayers &
vigils he was assiduous, through a vision appeared to him B. [g] Andochius
the Martyr, [& he beholds their glory:] saying: Blessed & truly by God
beloved Emanus, because in the number of Saints already by
God you are written, come, & I will show you the glory
of God's Martyrs, & the torments of the lower regions by which are tormented
the impious. Finally taking him with himself, he showed
him all things which he had promised: & to him asking
who he was, he made known his name, & the names of the brothers
of his, with him [h] equally consecrated by martyrdom.
By which vision the man of God in Christ strengthened,
he began greatly in all virtues to excel.

[9] But while still he was held inhabitant of that very place
the most blessed man, it happened that going the shepherds
of the illustrious man Bladistus to mark their flocks, [he frees thieves about to be killed:] thefts
upon the men dwelling around they intended: who being captured &
in bonds placed, & with blows long affected, at length
were being led to death. Hearing moreover B. Emanus
swiftly to free them was present, wishing for
them to deliver himself to death. Then the judge hearing these things,
touched by the bowels of mercy, them from the chains released,
& life for him to have he permitted them.

[10] He began meanwhile the holy man with fasts & alms
& other showings of good works
to God especially to serve: & when with thirst more frequently
he burned, [in thirst he takes salt for water:] salt for water he ministered to himself, saying: Receive
insatiable mouth, this be to you for the sweetness of water:
for & with vigils so he attenuated his body, that sleepless
he stood very many nights. With the grace of charity
filled to the needy as he could the necessary things
he ministered. To prayer indeed, to reading & meditation
& divine colloquies he was continually, & in every way intent.
At a certain time therefore on account of the festivity of S.
Symphorianus the Autun
city again seeking, & there in prayers staying through the night, that the merit
of his sanctity in whatever places might be divulged;
he began through energumens by his proper name to be manifested.
Having known this Nectarius the Bishop,
with anger and at the same time with the envy of the enemy inflamed, he ordered
him in a place, where no light was, to be enclosed. Where the man
of God entering, [freed from the Autun prison,] the impurities of the pavement with garment
to sweep he began; & this done with knees placed he prayed
to the Lord. While praying indeed an odor of sweetness
filled that place, & a splendid light shone around:
of whose indication the magnificence Divinity
not allowing to be hidden, to him by divine nod previously bolted
forthwith opened the doors of the prison. Coming moreover Eufronius
the Archdeacon, closed them a third time diligently: but with him departing,
immediately they were opened. Then the venerable
Bishop, when it had been announced to him, giving thanks
to God, the holy man henceforth in great praise to have
he began: [he is ordained Cleric.] & prostrate at his feet pardon
he asked. Then with him going out he began to him to suggest,
that the honor of Clericate he should accept: & soon acquiescing
to his counsel, with benediction received his head
to be tonsured in Clerical honor he made.

24 September: who here seems to have appeared as of the Gallican Martyrs Primipilus, inasmuch as sent by S. Polycarp into Gaul.

which however did not come to the notice of posterity, lacking for their burial miracles, by which as Saints to be venerated they would be proved.

CHAPTER II.

Priesthood, Miracles in the country of Chartres. Martyrdom.

[11] Therefore in the silence of unseasonable night when he had given himself to sleep,
he sees the holy & venerable Bishop of Vercelli,
by name [a] Eusebius, with
a certain youth in white garments standing, [Admonished by S. Eusebius appearing about return to the Chartres people:] &
saying to him. Rise, blessed Emanus, return to the city
of Chartres, & thence to the place of the same country which
is called [b] Sibernia, & I will show you where a church
in the name of the Lord you ought to build: for of
the rest there to remain, the word of God to those
in those parts you must preach: for with happy
course of temporal life completed, more happily glorious
martyrdom there you shall receive for the name of Christ. Then
the man of God Emanus asked him: Lord, what
is your name, who follow with such things to me? Who
responding: I am, he said, the servant of Christ Eusebius,
formerly Bishop of Vercelli, & so
from him at the same hour the vision departed. Awaking therefore
the man of God from sleep, immense thanks to the Creator of all for
the vision shown to him he returned, & the journey of his progression
soon hastened. And when he was returning
from the Autun town, that to the place shown to him
he might come, the Aurelian city he entered,
& at that time of the same See the Bishop's sights
he presented himself; who most kindly receiving him
he used all the grace of humanity toward him.
Recognizing therefore him with wisdom & the Holy Spirit filled, [At Orleans he is ordained Priest:]
to ecclesiastical orders he promoted, but
also with the order of Priesthood he sublimated.

[12] Finally proceeding thence, he came to the city
of Chartres. [he builds a church:] Then & to the place which had been revealed to him
coming, he built a church, & there henceforth
preaching the word of God he dwelt. Through the same
time it happened that he was invited to the home of the aforesaid
man, by name Bladistus; and when from there returning
he entered his proper dwelling, he left his horse there, that
by night with grass's fodder he might be refreshed, making upon him
the sign of the Cross. Followed moreover him one of
the parasites of the said man, by name Abbo,
inflamed with the torch of iniquitous cupidity. Furtively therefore the same horse
having been removed, when through the whole night sitting upon him he was going,
& his way correctly to keep he supposed, in the morning
in the same place he was found whence he had taken him away.
Who shaken with admiration & at the same time with terror, [his stolen horse & cattle recovering by miracle, he forgives the thieves.]
greatly in this repenting, from the horse to descend he tried,
that leaving him he might flee. Which not being able
in any way, it happened that coming B. Emanus again
the standard of the Cross over him made, beseeching
the man himself that he should keep the horse for himself. Who refused,
but rather asking pardon obtained. And when
he wished to depart, the holy man gave him whence shoes
he might prepare, lest empty from him he should return. Besides
the same man of God a few flocks of sheep nourished, on account of
the abundance of milk for the sustenance of the poor. By night
therefore some little robbers entered his sheepfold.
Seizing finally from that very sheepfold rams, while them
they wished to lift from the ground, it seemed to them that they were carrying dogs:
& so empty thence going away, them with too great fear divinely
struck they left. Who also on the morrow
prostrate at his feet, & confessing their guilt,
with pardon obtained departed rejoicing.

[13] There was finally in Thuringia a certain very rich man,
having a single son, [he heals a blind & deaf man:] who from his nativity hearing
& sight had lacked, & many faculties to physicians
he had disposed to give, that his son health might obtain.
Hearing moreover the fame of B. Emanus, sent to him
his son, whom kept very long for him the divine
majesty's clemency he begged. On the fourth
day with his prayers having obtained health, the man of God to
the father he sent back.

[14] Succeeding then in time Urbitius a certain
youth, while with other peers in play he was exercised,
it happened that unforeseen by one of them he was killed,
& so a boyish jest was turned for him into the case of death.
Whom homicide the parents of him who had died
seizing, led to the city of Chartres
they thrust into prison. Having found out moreover
the man of God as quickly as possible coming, urgently he began to ask
that to him life would be granted; for of the death's
trial of him already it was being treated. The mother of the dead
with the man of God had gone to the city, [he frees the imprisoned man:] & equally she
the man of God had besought about the life of him who in prison was held,
nor could she to his prayers be bent.
Coming moreover the holy man to the prison, where prayer
he poured out, immediately were broken the woods from the feet
of him who was held, & fell the chains from his hands.
Which seeing those who had been indignant, permitted
him uncontaminated to go away. On the same
day the aforesaid mother of the dead, who had refused
to hear the holy man, was seized by a demon. [an energumen he heals:] His relatives
moreover & friends, prostrate at the Saint's feet,
asked, that for her he would invoke the Lord: who to the salvation
of men more to be of profit than of obstacle desiring, with prayer poured out he restored her to health. [he resuscitates the dead] Approaching
moreover the man of God to the body of the aforesaid deceased, &
with the name of Christ invoked, him to the mother continually living
he restored, & so by triple miracle of salvation actor
made wonderful, both the homicide from the crime & the boy
from death, & the woman from the demon he freed.

[15] It was made however in the following time, that
Laudo a certain honored man, the daughter of a certain man,
whom to Christ to be consecrated she had vowed, in nefarious union
to himself to associate wished. [he frees others imprisoned:] But the same man with
many resisted him, lest such a grave crime he commit,
& lest he nefariously oppress his daughter.
Who refused to acquiesce to his counsels, but this gravely bearing, him
on opportunities found placed in prison with others
in number forty. Then a certain matter requiring,
encompassed by a band of soldiers he came, to the place
which is called Spinogilus: & with parents of him who was held
asking about him, the holy of God Emanus stood by him,
& holding the bridle of his horse, asked that the bound man
with the others from prison he would release, & lest his daughter
nefariously he would lust after, he begged. He indeed disregarding
what he heard, when from that place as if for stadia
fifteen he had withdrawn, suddenly with great fear is struck,
& with great velocity with only two boys
to the man of God returned, & at his feet prostrate,
he asked pardon. The man therefore whom
in prison he held, & all who with him were
he released; moreover & the evil of nefarious lust
he abandoned.

[16] A certain man finally, by name Orfactius, dwelling
near the Audur river, [he heals a furious man,] grievously by a demon
was vexed: so finally with insanity he was carried, that not even to stand
beside him would anyone presume, & for himself
also with teeth lips he tore. Heard moreover the fame
of the venerable man, & the virtues which with the Lord cooperating
he did, by friends & relatives to him he is led.
The man of the Lord moreover by accustomed piety moved, immediately
to prayer's help for him took refuge: by his merits therefore
intervening he returned home healthy.
[& another youth:] But a certain woman of the race of the Franks had
in her home a related youth, whom
she greatly loved, but seized by a demon most grievously
she grieved: who on a certain day having gone out from the home, with no one
accompanying him, went into the forest, & climbing into a tree,
in vain those seeking with their labor he deceived. It was revealed
moreover to B. Emanus where that boy in the tree was.
Approaching therefore to the place, & forcing him from there to descend,
he restored him healthy to his Lady. The custom indeed
was of the man of God, that on whomever the virtue
of healing he exercised, he should command him, that to no one
the author of his soundness he would betray. This indeed, as a friend of humility,
he said, but his holy works altogether
could not be kept silent.

[17] Finally very many miracles have been omitted by us,
which living in the body by God's actor he wrought:
but because now the discourse by us about him had has passed,
now to his glorious passion's contest let us turn
the stylus. When therefore omnipotent God the labors of that holy
man with heavenly reward had decreed to remunerate,
on a certain day the same man of God, with his companions [c] Maurilius
& Almarus was walking, through the very opaque places of solitude,
his cell's contiguous places. [admonishing robbers about amendment of life] But there was there
in hidden places of robbers a not small troop dwelling,
to the same holy man's studies & preaching always
hostile, who also hoped him very many funds with himself
to have. Who watchfully having recognized his progression,
to him continually run armed. Then the man
of the Lord considering them from afar approaching,
to them constantly to meet went forward. He began moreover them
with mild address to exhort that they should desist from evils, & the way they should take
of Christ. And when to his salutary doctrines
in no way they would acquiesce, with the torches of anger
as long since they had conceived, kindled, him suddenly with
the aforesaid companions for the faith of religion they killed: [with 2 companions he is slain on 16 May,] & so
the holy athlete of Christ for the faith of God or for preaching
innocently with the aforesaid companions having suffered,
glorious martyrdom received on the seventeenth day
of the Kalends of June, whose holy souls by
Angels into heaven were carried, & among the sacred
companies of the blessed Martyrs were received. [he shines with miracles:] Buried were moreover
the aforesaid Martyrs by religious men there in the vicinity
of Islaris-Cella, where unto the present day
by their merits omnipotent God very many virtues
works, to the praise of His name [d].

[18] After many finally courses of years was translated
the body of B. Emanus into the city of Chartres,
where by the Christ-worshippers of the same city in greatest veneration
he is held [e]. So great indeed for us with God
do we hope him to intervene, [he is translated to Chartres.] as much here we more with pious
love, as becomes a most holy Martyr, his merits
venerable embrace, to the praise & glory
of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The palm therefore
of glorious victory on account of the holy labors of life &
of passion having obtained from the Lord, he lives now in the heavenly
kingdom with Christ the King of Kings, to whom is with
God the Father, & the Holy Spirit equal honor, equal
glory, & equal command, both before the ages, &
in eternity, & beyond.

The Passion of Martyr Emanus buried in the city of Chartres
      Dear to God has been happily recited.
