“MARTIANUS, the procurator, said: This folly has been too long; you have made images, and now you will not worship them. “CALLISTA answered: For I have found my true Love, whom before I knew not. “MARTIANUS, the procurator, said: Your true love is, I ween, your last love; for all were true in their time.
“CALLISTA said: I have but one Lord, the King of kings, the Ruler of all. “MARTIANUS, the procurator, turned to the lictor and said: This folly is madness; take her hand, put incense in it, and hold it over the flame. “CALLISTA said: You may compel me by your great strength, but my own true Lord and Love is stronger. “MARTIANUS, the procurator, said: You are bewitched; but we must undo the spell.
“CALLISTA said: I worship my true Love, who is the Only True; and He is the Son of God, and I know none but Him. “MARTIANUS, the procurator, said: You will not worship the gods, but you are willing to love their sons. “CALLISTA said: He is the true Son of the True God; and I am His, and He is mine. “MARTIANUS, the procurator, said: Let alone your loves, and swear by the genius of the emperor.
“CALLISTA said: He has been there before me, and He will come to me there. “MARTIANUS, the procurator, said: The jailer will see to that. Let her be brought up to-morrow. “On the day following, Martianus, the procurator, sitting at the tribunal, called up Callista. He said: Honour our lord, and sacrifice to the gods. “CALLISTA said: Let me alone; I am content with my One and only Lord.
He also wrote a commentary on Martianus Capella, now in a Paris MS. of the ninth century. The eulogy of Giraldus Cambrensis, or Gerald Barry, who came to Ireland in 1183, on Irish harpers and minstrels is too well known to be repeated, but Brompton and John of Salisbury are equally enthusiastic.
Honoratus luckily for him escaped the investigation of the Senate by dying; Martianus was brought before them when Priscus was not present.
“Cneius Messius Decius Augustus II., and Gratus, Consuls, on the seventh before the Calends of August, in Sicca Veneria, a colony, in the Secretary at the Tribunal, Martianus, procurator, sitting; Callista, a maker of images, was brought up by the Commentariensis on a charge of Christianity, and when she was placed,
Sect. 27. 6. Constantine the Great, Theodosius, both the one and the other, Martianus, Charles the Great, and other Christian princes, when there was any change to be made of ecclesiastical rites, did not, by their own authority, imperiously enjoin the change, but convocate synods for deliberating upon the matter, as Balduine noteth. We have for us the judgment of worthy divines.
“MARTIANUS, the procurator, said: Throw her into the Tullianum; perhaps she will find her god there also. “Then the procurator entered into the Secretary, and drew the veil; and dictated the sentence for the tabella.
Also in the writings of Martianus Capella he learnt that the Egyptians had supposed Mercury and Venus to revolve round the sun, and to be carried with him in his annual motion round the earth. He noticed that the same supposition, if extended to Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, would explain easily why they, and especially Mars, seem so much brighter in opposition.
