he excelled all the rest of the souldiers in youthly fauour in strength goodly stature of body his countenance was gracious his speach amiable he passed for comely making for bigge setting for fayre liking and fit proportion of the whole body ▪ he was famous at the beginning of the persecution for his pacient suffring of stripes in the defence of the fayth and being depriued of the warlike dignitie which he enioyed became a zelous follower of the worshippers or religious men he succored and prouided with fatherly care ouersight for the fatherles the succorlesse y ● widowes and such men as were visited with greate misery affliction wherfore God being rather delited w t such like sacrifices of mercy and workes of charitye then with smokye incense and bloody oblations called him of his goodnes vnto this glorious and renowmed garland of martyrdome this was the tenth champion of the number mentioned before which suffered death in one and the selfe same daye whereby as it appeareth the great and bewtifull gate of the kingdome of heauen being sett wide open by the meanes of Pamphilus his martyrdome made an easie passage both vnto him and the others his companions to the attayning of the perfect pleasure in the celestiall paradise Theodulus also a graue and a zelous father one of Firmilianus the Presidents familie and in greater creditt with him then all the rest of his houshold partly for his whore heade and greate yeares for he was a greate graundfather and partly for the singuler good will and affection borne alwayes towards him treading the same steppes which Seleucus had done before him and committing the like crime with him is brought before his maister Firmilianus the President to pleade for him self who being incensed with greater rage towards him then the rest of y ● Martyrs deliuered him in the ende to be crucified which kind of martyrdome after the example of our Sauiour he suffered most willingly yet because there wanted one which might supplye the twelfe rowme among the Martyrs rehearsed before Iulianus came forth who comming from farre and as yet not entred into the wrastling place as soone as he had hearde by the way as he came of their death and happy endes forthwith he conueyed him straight vnto the noble spectacle and theatre of Martyrs and as soone as he sawe with his eyes the blessed bodyes of the Sainctes lying all a long vpon the grounde he was tickled with inward ioye he embraced them seuerally and saluted them after the best maner which when he had done the catchpoles and executioners apprehended him and presented him before Firmilianus who after he had executed such thinges as were correspondent vnto his cruell nature commaunded he shoulde be layde vpon a slowe and a slacke fire and so burned to death Iulianus triumphed and leapt for ioye and with a loude voyce gaue great thankes vnto God who voutch safed him worthy so greate a glory and rewarde and in the ende he was crowned with martyrdome he was by birth of Cappadocia in life and conuersation holy faythfull and very religious and besides his fame in other things he was inspired with the aboundance of the spirite of God such was the trayne of them which were tormented and by the goodnes of God crowned Martyrs in the company of Pamphilus their holy and happy carkasses were kept aboue grounde by the decree of the wicked President foure dayes and foure nightes to be deuoured of the beastes of the fielde and of the foules of the ayre but when as miraculously neyther beaste neyther byrde neyther dogge drewe nighe vnto them agayne by the grace and

and cruelty practised against vs was bruted abroad and rife in euery mans mouth Adrianus and Eubulus of the contrey Manganaea taking their iourney towards Caesarea for to visite the rest of the

torne and mangled of wilde beastes he was slayne as his fellowe before him with the edge of the sworde and being the last he sealed with his bloode all the happy conflicts of the blessed Martyrs of Caesarea but it shall seeme worthy the noting ▪ if at length we remember howe after what sorte and that not long after the heauy hande of God lighted vpon those wicked Magistrates together with the tyrants them selues for Firmilianus who frowardly and contumeliously raged agaynst the Martyrs of Christ suffering extreame punishment together with the other his parteners in horrible practises ended
