Synopsis
Excerpt from A Select Library of Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church, Vol. 11: Second Series; Translated Into English With Prolegomena and Explanatory Notes; Sulpitius Severus; Vincent of Lerins; John Cassian
Paulinus, a contemporary of Sulpitius, and bishop of Nola, addressed to him about fifty letters, in the fifth of which he thus writes: It certainly would not have been given to thee to draw up an account of Martin, unless by a pure heart thou hadst rendered thy mouth worthy of uttering his sacred praises. Thou art blessed, therefore, of the Lord, inasmuch as thou hast been able, in worthy style, and with proper feeling, to complete the history of so great a priest, and so illustrious a confessor. Blessed, too, is he, in accordance with his merits, who has obtained a historian worthy of his faith and of his life and who has become consecrated to the Divine glory by his own virtues, and to human memory by thy narrative regarding him.
