Be strong and bold, O Severus. Thou art the faithful * champion of the churches, O Severus, and thou shalt * fol. 171, slay the enemies of the truth. Enter, for the Lord is with thee, and thou art in need of nothing; thou hast the dignity of monasticism and its' precepts. What rule is there to which I should lead thee? Thou thyself shalt lead everyone that is born of the truth. Thou art the immovable foundation. And thou art not unknown to us, for he whom thou dost serve has this night revealed to us thy work and thy knowledge', and the Lord has shown me thine honors and thy greatness and thy praise, and that thou shalt save many souls by thy spiritual words. » 2 But the blessed Severus was sad at heart because of what he heard from them, and he answered and said unto them, «Your words disturb me now, O my fathers, for it is becoming that a man be sad ^when he is unduly * fol. 171, praised.

Ye know, And when they heard the words of the holy and modest Severus, they received him with joy like that of the man that found a treasure in a field; and behold his story is written in the holy gospel 2. And when he had • fol 171, entered into the monastery, and had seen the work ^ of the brethren, he rejoiced exceedingly. And he practised withdrawing by himself, and he wept much in his retirement. And afterwards Romanus received him às a beloved son and as Elijah received Elisha', and as Paul received Timothy' and set about teaching him in the midst of the brethren concerning prayer and the work of men. And it was not the wont of the holy Severus to do the work of the brethren, for he was a man delicate in body and fine in person, and his flesh shone like fire. And when he did their work the blood used to run from his hands, and it did not hurt him, but he used to say to his flesh, « Thou shalt not abide, but art dust, and after a little shalt be cast into the grave.

It is meet * for me to be strong that I * fol. 172, And there was dwelling there with him in the monastery a monk, and this monk was diligent in good work and he was not slothful in his prayer day nor night, a man mighty in learning. And once as he prayed, behold there appeared to him an angel, and said to him, « Look upon this place and behold the court of the monastery, that thou mayest see what is therein. » And when he looked, he saw two men go forth with Severus, of indescri- * fol. 172 bable glory and splendor, and the light of their apparel and their faces shone with the brightness of light. And they were talking with Severus and revealing to him the mystery of the orthodox faith. And every word which they told him he received with simplicity, and he praised them for leading him unto the orthodox faith. The brother monk saw this, and he said unto the angel that had shown him the vision, « Sir, who are these wise. 1.

For behold abominations and beasts have filled thy holy places, which are the congregation of the unbelievers who resolve the unity of the Savior into two natures and two substances, with lying tongue that ought to be cut out, and their heart likewise, for it is a vessel of their father Satan.
