As he was led to death, the man of whom we are speaking being with him at the end of his life, came near being slain by his fellow citizens, as if he were the cause of his death.Was it that he had been brought up in the Church from the beginning, and had endured many conflicts in her behalf, and had passed through many and great dangers for religion?Chapter The Pupils of Origen. And as he still held out he seized a long staff and thrust it through hisbowels and slew him.Such was he at that time.As he pretended that some of the brethren were the occasion of his apostasy and schism, as if he had been forced by them to proceed as he had, observe the manner in which he writes to him: “Dionysius to his brother Novatus, greeting.After Plutarch, the second martyr among the pupils of Origen was Serenus, who gave through fire a proof of the faith which he had received.Being sent by them, he went to Arabia.Then they carried to their idol temple a faithful woman, named Quinta, that they might force her to worship.Again, in the same books, Clement gives the tradition of the earliest presbyters, as to the order of the Gospels, in the following manner: The Gospels containing the genealogies, he says, were written first.For when all the brethren had assembled to select by vote him who should succeed to the episcopate of the church, several renowned and honorable men were in the minds of many, but Fabianus, although present, was in the mind of none.Chapter Dionysius succeeds Heraclas in the Episcopate.We find frequent mention of him in their writings.It is likely that on this account he gave his work the appropriate title of Stromata.At this time Origen was sent to Greece on account of a pressing necessity in connection with ecclesiastical affairs, and went through Palestine, and was ordained as presbyter in Cæsarea by the bishops of that country.Not long afterward Demetrius, bishop of the church of Alexandria, died, having held the office for forty-three full years, and Heraclas succeeded him.For Ammonius, being a Christian, and brought up by Christian parents, when he gave himself to study and to philosophy straightway conformed to the life required by the laws.Being at that time in Athens, he finished his work on Ezekiel and commenced his Commentaries on the Song of Songs, which he carried forward to the fifth book.To sum up briefly, he has given in the Hypotyposes abridged accounts of all canonical Scripture, not omitting the disputed books, — I refer to Jude and the other Catholic epistles, and Barnabas and the so-called Apocalypse of Peter.I will show you what evil things that opinion teaches, that you may not be carried away by it.
Chapter The Bishops that were well known at that Time.They have been kept until our time in the library at Ælia, which was established by Alexander, who at that time presided over that church.Some of them having received from him into the depth of their souls faith in the Divine Word, became prominent in the persecution then prevailing; and some of them were seized and suffered martyrdom.Chapter The Events which happened to Dionysius.Chapter Other Works of Origen.Having collected all of these, he divided them into sections, and placed them opposite each other, with the Hebrew text itself.After Antoninus had reigned seven years and six months, Macrinus succeeded him.He was in his eighteenth year when he took charge of the catechetical school.What should we do?Such was the conflict endured by this famousmaiden.And he had not studied them with indifference, for his father, besides giving him the usual liberal education, had made them a matter of no secondary importance.Therefore, by the divine Power working with him he aroused a great many to his own zeal.And as their names were called they approached the impure and impious sacrifices.For the truth shall be told.Some of them were pale and trembled as if they were not about to sacrifice, but to be themselves sacrifices and offerings to the idols; so that they were jeered at by the multitude who stood around, as it was plain to every one that they were afraid either to die or to sacrifice.Chapter The Miracles of Narcissus.He says in this that he went to Alexandria on account of the great fame of Heraclas, who excelled especially in philosophic studies and other Greek learning, and whose appointment to the bishopric of the church there we have already mentioned.
But the firm and blessed pillars of the Lord being strengthened by him, and having received vigor and might suitable and appropriate to the strong faith which they possessed, became admirable witnesses of his kingdom.Passing by a few things, he adds the following: “For this illustrious man forsook the Church of God, in which, when he believed, he was judged worthy of the presbyterate through the favor of the bishop who ordained him to the presbyterial office.He says these things in defending himself for his study of Grecian literature.At this time while Origen was conducting catechetical instruction at Alexandria, a deed was done by him which evidenced an immature and youthful mind, but at the same time gave the highest proof of faith and continence.And when the attention of all was turned to them, before any one else could seize them, they rushed up to the tribunal saying that they were Christians, so that the governor and his council were affrighted.Those of them who survived are witnesses of their election and victory.He mentions only thirteen epistles of the holy apostle, not counting that to the Hebrews with the others.The matters that were agitated concerning him on this account, and the decisions on these matters by those who presided over the churches, besides the other works concerning the divine word which he published while in his prime, demand a separate treatise.One of these bishops shortly after came back to the church, lamenting and confessing his transgression.Therefore if any church holds that this epistle is by Paul, let it be commended for this.In the Stromata, he has not only treated extensively of the Divine Scripture, but he also quotes from the Greek writers whenever anything that they have said seems to him profitable.And she, supplicating a little, was released, when she leaped eagerly into the fire and was consumed.For whenever persons able to instruct the brethren are found, they are exhorted by the holy bishops to preach to the people.Why need we speak of him who reclined upon the bosom of Jesus, John, who has left us one Gospel, though he confessed that he might write so many that the world could not contain them?And when the man heard it (he was on his way to a marriage feast, for it was customary to spend the entire night in such gatherings), he entered and announced it to those at the table.But he did not relax his perseverance.And the witnesses of all these occurrences followed: Gaius, Faustus, Peter, and Paul.
The others were Mercuria, a very remarkable old woman, and Dionysia, the mother of many children, who did not love her own children above the Lord.I found him with the teacher of philosophic learning, with whom he had already continued five years before I began to hear lectures on those subjects.But Adamantius, — for this also was a name of Origen—when Zephyrinus was bishop of Rome, visited Rome, “desiring,” as he himself somewhere says, “to see the most ancient church of Rome.The first of them, he says, was Plutarch, who after living well, was honored with divine martyrdom.But soon afterward, seeing that he was prospering, and becoming great and distinguished among all men, the same Demetrius, overcome by human weakness, wrote of his deed as most foolish to the bishops throughout the world.And probably this has been done in other places unknown to us.
Among these Beryllus has left us, besides letters and treatises, various elegant works.Cornelius informs Fabius what sort of a man Novatus was, in the following words: But that you may know that a long time ago this remarkable man desired the episcopate, but kept this ambitious desire to himself and concealed it—using as a cloak for his rebellion those confessors who had adhered to him from the beginning—I desire to speak.And we communed with him as with a layman, all the people present interceding for him.He speaks truly of the industry and learning of the man, but plainly utters a falsehood (for what will not an opposer of Christians do?For they boast that the plain words of Moses are enigmas, and regard them as oracles full of hidden mysteries; and having bewildered the mental judgment by folly, they make their explanations.Maximus, one of our presbyters, and Urbanus, who twice gained the highest honor by confession, with Sidonius, and Celerinus, a man who by the grace of God most heroically endured all kinds of torture, and by the strength of his faith overcame the weakness of the flesh, and mightily conquered the adversary—these men found him out and detected his craft and duplicity, his perjuries and falsehoods, his unsociability and cruel friendship.But the brethren withdrew and went away, and ‘took joyfully the spoiling of their goods,’ like those to whom Paul bore witness.But the third, perceiving what had happened to the others, and fearing the inevitable judgment of God, the ruler of all, confessed publicly what they had plotted together.The first of these was Plutarch, who was mentioned just above.He sent two more to the same persons after they had returned to the Church.For he said that he no longer desired to be a presbyter, as he was an admirer of another philosophy.And I requested them, if they desired to benefit me in any way, to anticipate those who were carrying me off, and cut off my head themselves.But a soldier, named Besas, who stood by them as they were led away rebuked those who insulted them.And when they had done so, contrary to all expectation by a wonderful and divine power, the nature of the water was changed into that of oil.He writes in this many other things concerning repentance, and relates the conflicts of those who had lately suffered martyrdom at Alexandria.
