illingly offered her naked breast, kneeling down and devitieg ht r Ws
to him who had shed bloud for us all. It happened under the reign

dignity of Deacon. We shudder whuscver we read the pasticulars of
this martyrdom. Ile was racked, wounded in several parts of Isis body,
his skin was scratched with sharp iron-combs, seared with hot plates,
and then sprinkled with hot bruising salt ; after which,.he was thrown

the Latin word vinum, " wine ;" be is generally represensed with
a bunch of grapes in Isis hand ; end, we suppose, that this alluded vri-
ginally to his ministry at the altar, as-a deacon, which consisted chiefly
in preplan," the wine and pouring it into the chalice for consecration.
