But if neither in our Tribulations we bless God nor redeem our Sins by good Works we shall so long abide in that Purgatory till all our lesser Sins be consumed like Wood Hay and Stubble But some body may say What matter is it how long I stay there so I may but at last pass through into eternal Life Let no Man say so most dear Brethren for as much as this Purgatory Fire is more painful than any thing that can be thought seen or felt in this World And seeing it is writ of the Day of Judgment that it shall be one Day how can any one know whether he may be Days Months or even Years in passing through it 3. In his 12 th Homily he exhorts the People not to go out of the Church on Sundays before the Celebration of the Eucharist and makes the Prayers of the Priest to appear ridiculous when there are no Communicants to receive To whom saith he shall the Priest say Sursum corda But we are especially to observe that when he presses the Greatness of the Sacrifice of the Mass and the Adoration due to the Sacrament he says never a Word of what some Popish Orator would represent to us on the like Occasion 4. In the 20 th Homily he exhorts the Country People to read the Scriptures and removes all Excuses which they might make to avoid this Duty with as much Earnestness as those of the Church of Rome express'd when they would disswade their Auditors from the reading of it 5. The 38 th Homily is a Collection of several places of Scripture treating of the means by which Remission of Sins is granted to us He reckons up there twelve several means where we are to take notice 1 st That he doth not speak one Word of confessing to a Priest nor of the Power God hath bestowed on them to pardon Sins as Judges which at present is the great and only mean to obtain the Pardon of Sin those other whereof St. Caesarius speaks being of no use without the Pardon 's pronounced by the Priest in the Tribunal of Confession That which is here peculiar is that tho he has said a very great deal about the Efficacy of Contrition for the Remission of Sins in his 29 th Homily he has not been able to avoid the cautè lege of the Romish Censors as we may see in the Bibliotheca Patrum of the Paris Edition 2 dly We are to observe that whereas the Church of Rome pretends to find the Sacrament of Extreme Unction and Auricular Confession in the 5 th Chapter of St. James's Epistle Caesarius discovers nothing there but the Christian Duty of praying one for another proceeding from the Charity we owe to our Neighbour Ruricius was Bishop of Limoges from the Year 535. in which he assisted at the first Council of Auvergne He assisted also at the 4 th Council of Orleans in 541. and at the 5 th in 549. We have nothing left us of this Prelate save his two Books of Epistles though even there we can inform our selves about several very important Matters which demonstrate what the Faith was that was then received and imbraced in Aquitain 1. He takes for granted that dying Persons are immediately taken up into Heaven so far is he from mentioning Purgatory See in what manner he comforts Namacius and Ceraunia for the Loss of their Son Indeed you have reason to take a great deal of Comfort from the Will of Christ since untimely Death was his Lot that he has been pleased to take him away in that State to which he pronounceth the Kingdom of Heaven to belong that at the same time you might have a Patron instead of a Son and leave off deploring him as lost whom you see the Lord hath taken to himself And in another place Wherefore let your Faith wipe off your Tears since we believe that those who are dear to us do not lose their Life but change it they leave this World full of Sorrows and hasten to the Region of the Blessed and take their leave of this painful Pilgrimage that they may arrive at the Land of Rest 2. He supposeth Abraham's Bosom and Heaven to be the same thing when he brings in a young Woman that enjoyed the Glory of Heaven speaking after this manner Wherefore my loving Parents rather bewail your own Sins and seriously think of redeeming your own Crimes that if you love me in Christ you may be thought worthy to be admited into the Patriarch's Bosom where the Lord acording to the Purity of my Innocence and his great Kindness has placed me c. 3. He exhorts a Lady of his Acquaintance to the reading of Holy Scripture when he sent her a Painter But saith he you ought to look for more perfect and great Instruments in those Divine Writings from whence these are taken if ever you desire to perfect what you have begun or attain what is promised you If you thus seek the Lord will give you both Knowledg and Strength to understand what you read and keep what you understand St. Ferreolus Bishop of Vzez must not be forgot by us he was chosen in the Year 553. and died in 581. We find in the Rule that he writ for Monks that he setled in his Diocess an uncommon Strain of Piety 1. We do not find him to demand the Approbation of this his Rule at Rome as has been done for some Ages since He sends to the Bishop of Die to desire his Advice and afterwards published it with the Approbation only of that Bishop without troubling himself about any other Authority 2. He orders his Monks to work with their Hands that they might not be chargeable to the Publick as all the Orders of Mendicants are at this time 3. He receives none but such as are come to Mens Estate and will have them tried before they be admitted whereas St. Bennet ordained that those whom their Parents had presented to a Monastery should from their Infancy be received and abide there 4. He will have the great Employment of the Monks to be the reading of the Psalms which he will have them go through every Week 5. He will have them on Anniversary Days of the Martyrdom of the Saints to read the Acts of their Martyrdom for a worthy Celebration of the Memory of their Passion but not a Word of incouraging the Monks to offer up Prayers to them on these solemn Days 6. Above all he requires of every Monk daily to read the Scripture and not to dispense with it upon any Pretence or because of any other Business whatsoever Fortunatus was born in Italy but coming into France in the Year 575. he stayed there in the Service of St. Radegunda and was ordained Priest at Poictiers where he lived in great Reputation till the end of that Century Some will have him to have been raised to the Episcopal Dignity in the same City but this appears to
