Origines, callyd also Adamantius borne at A∣lexandria in Egypte was sonne of one Leo∣nides the martyr, a man of mooste excellente kounnynge and vertue frome his chyldhode, wherein he soo wonderfully prosperyd, that beynge an infaunt he lyenge on sleape, his fa∣ther camme into the chaumber, and takynge awaye softely the clothes, he kyssed the chyl∣des breaste, as a Temple hauynge within it the holye gooste, gyuynge thankes to God, that hadde sente to hym suche a sonne. At the tyme that his father was martred. Ori∣gene beynge alsoo desyrouse of martyrdome, yet a yonge chylde, ranne in amonge other, whyche were led to be slayne, and by all mea∣nes proffered hym selfe to dye with theym. Whiche his mother perceyuyng, who moste entierly loued him, she fyrst lamentably intre∣ted hym to withdrawe hym, but he therwith was more inflamed towarde martyrdome than withdrawen. wherefore his mother vsed this crafte, at nyghte whan he was in his bedde, she stale awaye his clothes, so that in the mor∣nyng whā he wold haue gone forth, he mought not come by theym, wherfore he was constray∣ned to tary at home. Which deceipt of his mo∣ther he complayned to his father than being in pryson, desyrnge hym to persyst constantely in his good purpose. After the martyrdome of his father, he contynually gaue him selfe to the stu∣dye of holy Scripture, whyche he hadde tasted before, in readynge Gentyles warkes by his fathers instruction. All be it in Phylosophye and all other scyences, he dydde excelle all o∣ther menne of his tyme, before that he was twentye yeres olde.

Not withstandynge that he alsoo lernyd the Hebrue toungue perfytely, he went into dyuerse countrayes preachynge. And for the greatte fame that was of hym, Mam∣mea, the mother of the Emperoure Alexander Seuerus sent for hym to Rome, and herd him, and as somme do suppose was by hym conuer∣ted. Whereof ye may reade in the boke whi∣che I translated out of Eucolpius, and called it the Image of Gouernance. He most straight∣ly obserued all the preceptes of the Gospell, in contynuall fastynges and watchynges, hauyng but oone garment, and goynge alwaye bare fo∣ted, and counsayllynge all his hearers to re∣nounce all that they hadde, and to gyue it in al∣messe. He also gelded hym selfe, not onely to be the more chaste, but alsoo for bycause that in the tyme of persecution he taught the worde of God, as well pryuilye as openly to menne and womenne, he mought lette that the Paynyms shoulde not speake dysshonestye of hym, and of those, whyche repayred to his Sermones and lessons, whyche although he dydde secrete∣lye, yet God wolde not haue it hydde, so that it camme to the eare of Demetrius the bys∣shoppe of Alexandria, who fyrste wonderynge a••te the stomacke and vertue of the manne, praysyng the feruentnes of his faythe, he sayde vnto hym, Nowe stycke to thy doctryne and preachynge, sens thou haste not left vnto thyne

aduersaries any occasyon of suspycion: but afterwarde the same Demetrius styred with enuy agaynste Origene, layde it in reproche agaynste hym openly, fyndynge nothynge els wherwith to dysprayse hym.
