Athanasius had openly disapproved that ignominious peace, and the emperor was disposed to believe that he had abused his ecclesiastical and civil power, to prosecute those odious sectaries: that he had sacrilegiously broken a chalice in one of their churches of Mareotis; that he had whipped or imprisoned six of their bishops; and that Arsenius, a seventh bishop of the same party, had been murdered, or at least mutilated, by the cruel hand of the primate.
'His master is here present, your Excellency, who will swear to the purchase. 'Or to anything else for the glory of God. Out of the way! And take care, you tall scoundrel, that I do not get a handle against you. You have been one of my marked men for many a month. Off! 'His master demands the rights of the law as a Roman citizen, said Peter, pushing forward Arsenius.
Here I sit, the poor unknown old monk, until I die, fasting and praying, if perhaps God will have mercy on my soul: but little thou knowest how I have seen it. Little thou knowest, or thou wouldst be well content to rest here till the end. I was Arsenius.... Ah! vain old man that I am! Thou hast never heard that name, at which once queens would whisper and grow pale.
They were within a few yards of the gate, when hurried footsteps behind them, and voices calling them by name, made them turn; and behold, evidently to the disgust of Arsenius as much as Philammon himself, Peter the Reader and a large party of monks! Philammon's first impulse was to escape; Arsenius himself caught him by the arm, and seemed inclined to hurry on.
Arsenius, bishop of Hypsela, who had been involved in the Meletian schism, and had acted in a hostile way towards Athanasius, at length reconciled himself to the Church.
But in 1680 Arsenius the Patriarch had decided to accept the protection of Austria and emigrated to Karlovatz with most of his flock. The turns of fortune's wheel are odd. The Serbs have more than once owed almost their existence to Austrian intervention.
If there is reason in it, I will bear your message myself. Of what is she to be warned? 'Of a plot I know that there is a plot against her among the monks and Parabolani. As I lay in bed this morning in Arsenius's room they thought I was asleep 'Arsenius? Has that venerable fanatic, then, gone the way of all monastic flesh, and turned persecutor? 'God forbid!
'What does that teach thee, Aufugus, my friend? Arsenius was silent. 'To me it teaches this: that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. That in His presence is life, and fulness of joy for evermore. That He is the giver, who delights in His own bounty; the lover, whose mercy is over all His works and why not over thee, too, O thou of little faith?
Philammon told, honestly enough, the story of his Nile journey, and Pelagia's invitation to him. 'You did not surely accept it? 'Heaven forbid that Hypatia's scholar should so degrade himself! Arsenius shook his head sadly. 'You would not have had me go? 'No, boy.
He had heard the mob crying out against the prefect for favouring him. Was it then familiarity with the great ones of the world which produced this manner and tone? It was a real strength, whether in Arsenius or in Raphael. He felt humbled before it envied it. If it made Arsenius a more complete and more captivating person, why should it not do the same for him?
