The controversies of the Church with heretics yield only too abundant a supply, and that upon both sides, of examples of this kind. The 'royal- hearted' Athanasius is 'Satanasius' for the Arians; and some of St.
Each one of them selected from the new-comers on the platform, a black, gray, white, or violet cassock as his target. Joannes Frollo de Molendin, in his quality of brother to an archdeacon, boldly attacked the scarlet; he sang in deafening tones, with his impudent eyes fastened on the cardinal, "Cappa repleta mero!"

We know a thing 1. i. Ex mero auditu: because we have heard it from some person or persons whose veracity we have no reason to question. ii.
That censor and reprover of others, Cato, was reproached that he was a hard drinker: "Narratur et prisci Catonis Saepe mero caluisse virtus." Horace, Od., xxi. 3, 11.
