Saints.

Saint AMPHIBALUS a Citizen of Carlion. See the Saints in Hereford shire.

Saint AARON was a wealthy Citizen of Carlion in this County, who for the te∣stimony of the Christian Faith, was martyred under the Tyrant Emperor Dioclesian. By the way we may observe the names of the three first British Martyrs as to their Language.

1. Alban	Of	Latine	Originall.
2. Amphibalus		Greek
3. Aaron.		Hebrew

It seems that the Christian Britons at the Font quitted their Native names as bar∣barous, and imposed on their Children those of the learned Languages. This Aaron was martyred, Anno Dom. 303.

Saint JULIUS. It is pity to part so fast friends, both being Citizens of Carlion. Yea, they were lovely in their lives, and in their deaths they were not divided, both suffering mar∣tyrdom together, and therefore like Philip and Jacob one day is assigned to their Me∣mories in the Kalendar.

Nor must I forget how Carlion the place of their aboad, though now a small Town, was once a great City stretching so far o•…•… both sides of the River, that * 1.1 Saint Julians (a house of late of Sir William Herberts) was sometimes within the City, though now about a mile South-West thereof, being a Church dedicated anciently to the Memo∣ry of this Saint Julius.

Notes

* 1.1

Camb. Brit. in Monmouth∣shire.
