[8]\u00a0<\/span><\/b>Hanc autem primam virtutem operatus est S. Senzius in Blerana civitate. At habitatores ejusdem civitatis audientes, tota mente Christum confitebantur;\u00a0[claret miraculis,]<\/span>\u00a0& videntes virtutes sancti viri veniebant ad eam cum suis, qui ab infirmitate detinebantur, projicientes eos ad pedes S. Senzii. Sanctus autem Senzius invocabat Dominum Jesum Christum pro infirmis: & sani revertebantur in civitatem, collaudantes Dominum. Et dum tantas virtutes in Confessore Christi cognoscerent; omnes unanimiter eum deprecati sunt, ut expelleret draconem, qui sub muro civitatis erat, a cujus flatu plurimi peccatores morbo periclitabantur. Sanctus autem Senzius indixit illis triduanum vel quatriduanum jejunium: intrepidusque veniens ad locum, ubi erat draco, flexit genua in terra, oculos & palmas ad c\u00e6lum tetendit, & oravit dicens; Deus Abraham, Deus Isaac, & Deus Jacob, qui trinam invocationem, in his tribus Patriarchis vocasti; qui misisti verbum tuum de c\u00e6lo, ut mundum qui perditus erat restauraret; qui fecisti ut obsorberet charibdis Pharaonem cum suis superbis ministris;\u00a0[draconem amovet:]<\/span>\u00a0qui in deserta solitudine pastum dedisti Isra\u00ebliticis, & de rupe manasti aquas, & lapideas tabulas scriptas lege absque stylo Moysi famulo tuo in monte Sina donasti, & solem stare ad Gabaon jussisti pugnante Josue; te invoco super hunc draconem, cujus flatus vexat quotidie habitatores civitatis Bleran\u00e6. Exaudi me servum tuum, ut compescas eum a malitiis suis, & jubeas me deducere serpentem istum iniquitatis de loco isto, ut amplius non noceat habitatoribus Bleran\u00e6 civitatis. Cum h\u00e6c vero orasset, introivit intrepidus ad eum; & ligavit os ejus, & percussit eum de baculo, & excussit de crypta, ubi ille pessimus habitabat; & quasi asellum minabat ante se. Porro videntes talia mirabilia Dei omnes Blerani, cursu rapido sequebantur eum. Ille autem cum ferula exterminavit ipsum, & insecutus est, donec transmigraret ultra flumen, quod appellatur\u00a0Minione; estq; ad mare magnum, & persecutus est ipsum, & ibi eum alligavit in profundo abyssi in nomine Domini Jesu Christi, ibidemque est condemnatus usque in sempiternum diem.<\/p>\n

[9]<\/span><\/b>\u00a0Et quia nonnulli adhuc ipso tempore alieni habebantur a fide, patefecit S. Senzius, quia Presbyteri fungebatur Ordine.\u00a0[convertit & baptizat Paganos.]<\/span>\u00a0Tunc fontem baptismatis construxit, eosque quos Paganos invenit, ad cultum Christianorum revocavit. O beatissimi Sacerdos, non solum Confessor, sed & Martyr; quia duo sunt genera martyrii, unum in occulto, & alterum in publico; unum a ferro trucidatis, alterum a se ipso cruciatis. Destruxisti olim dracones; modo triumphas cum Bleranis. Gaude o civitas Blerana, tali Patrono, qu\u00e6 aliquando flebas oppressa dracone.\u00a0[Patronus civitatis Bleran\u00e6,]<\/span>\u00a0Occurrite omnes ad triumphum sancti Confessoris, ut habeatis gratiam Salvatoris. Multas & innumeras virtutes operatus est S. Senzius in vita sua & deinceps, quas minime reperimus scriptas propter inopiam scriptoris. Ego vero, lector, prout viribus potui, explicavi. Jubente Domino nostro Jesu Christo in pace vit\u00e6 munus implevit,\u00a0[moritur 25 Maji.]<\/span>\u00a0sub die octavo Kalendas Junias, sepulchro traditus a viris timoratis; & a quibusdam Basilica constructa est, in qua virtutes multas & beneficia operatur usque in hodiernum diem; pr\u00e6stante Domino nostro Jesu Christo, qui vivit & regnat in secula seculorum. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
