118:1
Alius quoque in g Marsorum provincia vitae valde venerabilis diaconus fuit; qnem inventum Langobardi tenuerunt, quorum unus educto gladio caput ejus amputavit. Sed cum corpus ejus in terram caderet, ipse qui hunc capite truncaverat, immundo spiritu correptus, ad pedes corruit, et quod amicum Dei occiderit, inimico Dei traditus ostendit. PETR. Quid eat boc, quaeso te, quod omnipotens Deus sic permittit mori, quos tamen post mortem cujus sanctitatis fuerint, non patitur celari?.
在馬爾西省中，還有另一位生活極其可敬的執事；倫巴底人找到他便捉住，其中一人拔出刀來，砍下了他的頭。但當他的身體倒在地上時，那砍下他頭的人竟被一個不潔的靈附身，仆倒在他腳前，並且被交付給天主的仇敵，顯明他殺害了一位天主的朋友。伯多祿：請問你，這是甚麼緣故，全能的天主竟如此容許那些人死去，然而在他們死後，又不容許將他們是何等聖德一事隱藏起來？
There was also in the province of the Marsi another deacon of a most venerable life; whom, having found him, the Lombards seized, and one of them, drawing his sword, cut off his head. But when his body fell to the ground, the very one who had beheaded him, seized by an unclean spirit, collapsed at his feet, and, delivered over to the enemy of God, showed that he had killed a friend of God. PETER: What is this, I ask you, that almighty God thus permits those to die whom nevertheless, after death, He does not suffer to be hidden as to what holiness they were of?
