gospell to be redde afore the sacrynge / and on Crystmasse daye thre masses to be songe. And he ordeyned there sholde no masse be songe before thre of the cloc∣ke. And at the last he was martred & bu¦ryed at saynt Peters. ¶Ignius a Gre∣ke was pope foure yere. This man or∣deyned that a childe sholde haue a god∣fader & a godmoder at the tyme of bap¦tysynge / and also one at confyrmacyon. Also that no Archebysshop / excepte the pope sholde condempne his Suffrygan but yf the cause were shewed in the pro∣uyncyall counsell of bysshops.

Nota. ¶Ex∣cedynge men in wysdome comynly are not fayre speched / nor peasfull namely of nature / ne contraryous. ¶Excedynge men in fayre speche comynly are lesse than wyse.

He sayd thrugh the ensam¦ple of Cipio. I had leuer kepe one heere of a man / than slee an hondred of myn¦enmyes.

For they supposed that the crysten fayth sholde destroye them. Therfore it was no meruaylle / all though the pryn∣ce was vnpleased / for they sayd All ther goddes were deuylles / yf lower Iuges pursued crysten folke & martred them. This tyme .x. thousande martyrs were crucifyed in Armenia / in an hygh hylle called Arath. ¶Pompeis trogus isto tempore historas a nino vs{que} ad octa∣uianum deduxit.
