Editors' preface

ORATIO CYPRIANI ANTIOCHENI, PRO MARTYRIBUS.

Prayer of Cyprian of Antioch, for the martyrs.

Hagios, hagios, hagios, sancte sanctorum, Pater patrum nostrorum, Deus Abraham, Deus Isaac, Deus Jacob, Deus Apostolorum, Deus Prophetarum, Deus Virginum, Deus bene viventium, Deus credentium, Deus et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi filii tui: te invocamus supplices, pariter et deprecamur, Fili unigenite, qui ex ore Altissimi procreatus es ante mundi dispositionem, et ex Mariae sanctae virginis utero per mysterium editus, orantibus nobis, sancti desiderii spiritale incrementum et integritatem cordis praestare dignare, ut lavacro salutari recreatum pectus a delictis carnalibus incolume persistat. Petimus fide illibata, mente incorrupta, devotione robusta, operatione seu dilectione continua, ut in Ecclesia sancta tua nos florere permittas: quoniam tibi flectimus genua et curvamus cervices, cui Angeli et Archangeli, millia millium Martyrum, chorus Apostolorum et Prophetarum gloria exsultant, cui omnes aves canunt laudes, linguae confitentur coelestium, terrestrium et infernorum: tibi omnes aquae in coelo et sub coelo confitentur; te insensibilia sentiunt: tu es solus, et praeter te et extra te nemo. Te quaesumus, Domine, Pater omnipotens, qui soli filio conspicabilis es, cujus Angeli et Archangeli obtemperant tibi, Domine Pater: te oramus ut tribuas nobis mentem integram, innocentiam puram, sinceritatem devotam, conscientiam sanctam, puram, sobriam,

Hagios, hagios, hagios, holy one of the holy, Father of our fathers, God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, God of the Apostles, God of the Prophets, God of the Virgins, God of those who live well, God of those who believe, God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son: Thee we invoke as suppliants, and likewise we beseech Thee, only-begotten Son, Who wast begotten from the mouth of the Most High before the ordering of the world, and brought forth through a mystery from the womb of Mary the holy virgin: deign to grant to us as we pray the spiritual increase of holy desire and integrity of heart, so that the breast refreshed by the saving bath may remain unharmed by carnal sins. We ask that with faith unimpaired, with mind uncorrupted, with devotion robust, with work or love unceasing, Thou permit us to flourish in Thy holy Church: since to Thee we bend the knee and bow our necks, before Whom the Angels and Archangels, thousands of thousands of Martyrs, the choir of the Apostles and Prophets exult in glory, to Whom all the birds sing praises, to Whom the tongues of things heavenly, earthly and infernal confess: to Thee all the waters in heaven and under heaven confess; things without sense perceive Thee: Thou alone art, and besides Thee and apart from Thee there is no one. We beseech Thee, Lord, Father almighty, Who art visible to the Son alone, Whose Angels and Archangels obey Thee, Lord Father: we pray Thee that Thou grant us a mind whole, innocence pure, sincerity devoted, a conscience holy, pure, sober,

Soli filio conspicabilis es. Mss. omnes et vet. exc. conspectabilis. Verum illud placet, quod similiter dixerit Prudentius: coram refulsit ore conspicabilis. Pamel.

Who art visible to the Son alone. All the manuscripts and the old printed edition have conspectabilis. But the former is preferred, because Prudentius said similarly: he shone forth before them, visible in his face. Pamelius.

Innocentiam puram. Morellio rursus acceptam debemus vocem puram, et paulo post vocem hostis, ubi legitur cruenti hostis, alibi desideratas. Pamel.

Pure innocence. Again we owe to Morel the word puram, and a little later the word hostis, where cruenti hostis is read; both are lacking elsewhere. Pamelius.

God of Abraham. The same Gravius puts God of our Fathers first, which is commonly placed after, as far as appears; because Scripture almost everywhere has it so. But the manuscripts read with us. Pamelius.

castam, contra omnes insidias saeculi gloriosa fide degentem, contra diaboli minas et carnales illecebras munitum pectus concedas, ne violenti et cruenti hostis lethalibus laqueis implicemur, ut signum salutis aeternae incolume perferamus. Pelle a nobis omnem saeculi illuviem omnemque diaboli persuasionem. Laqueetur, concidat, et superetur a nobis, et amoveatur, sicut a Sarra famula tua Asmodeus, daemon nequissimus, exstinctus per angelum tuum sanctum Raphael. Et sicut Tobiae affuisti, ita mihi adesse digneris. Et ut tribus pueris in camino, et Danieli misericordiam praestitisti, sic circa nos famulos tuos facere digneris. Qui mortuos suscitasti, caecos illuminasti, surdis auditum, mutis eloquia, claudis gressum, leprosis sanitatem dedisti, ita et da famulis tuis, qui te tota virtute mentis credimus natum, passum, venturum judicare vivos et mortuos. Assiste nobis, sicut Apostolis in vinculis, Theclae in ignibus, Paulo in persecutionibus, Petro in fluctibus. Qui sedes super septem thronos ad dexteram Patris, respice nos et libera nos de aeternae mortis interitu: unus in uno, Pater et Filio, Filius in Patre, Spiritus sanctus, per quem et cum quo est tibi in sancta Ecclesia honor, virtus, claritas, majestas, potestas, benedictio, immortalitas, et nunc et in aeternum, semper et in omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.

chaste, living with glorious faith against all the snares of the world, and that Thou grant us a breast fortified against the threats of the devil and the allurements of the flesh, so that we may not be entangled in the deadly snares of the violent and bloody enemy, so that we may carry the sign of eternal salvation through unharmed. Drive away from us all the filth of the world and every persuasion of the devil. May he be ensnared, may he fall, and may he be overcome by us, and be removed, as from Sarah Thy handmaid Asmodeus, the most wicked demon, was removed, destroyed by Thy holy angel Raphael. And as Thou didst stand by Tobias, so deign to stand by me. And as Thou didst show mercy to the three youths in the furnace and to Daniel, so deign to act towards us Thy servants. Thou Who didst raise the dead, didst give light to the blind, and didst give hearing to the deaf, speech to the mute, walking to the lame, health to the lepers, so also grant to Thy servants, who with the whole strength of our mind believe Thee born, having suffered, and about to come to judge the living and the dead. Stand by us, as by the Apostles in chains, by Thecla in the fires, by Paul in persecutions, by Peter on the waves. Thou Who sittest upon seven thrones at the right hand of the Father, look upon us and free us from the destruction of eternal death: one in one, the Father in the Son, the Son in the Father, the Holy Spirit, through Whom and with Whom there is to Thee in the holy Church honour, power, glory, majesty, might, blessing, immortality, both now and for ever, always and unto all ages of ages. Amen.

PL 4:907

judicare vivos et mortuos: qui es Deus verax, qui sedes super Cherubim et Seraphim sedem honoris tui, et prospicis abyssos: qui vides cuncta priusquam nascantur; qui habes potestatem occidere et rursus restituere; qui habes potestatem de arido viride facere. Tu omnium Dominus dominator, libera me ab hoc saeculo, et exaudi me orantem, sicut exaudisti filios Israel de terra Aegypti, et non tibi crediderunt, nec famulo tuo Moysi.

to judge the living and the dead: Who art the true God, Who sittest upon the Cherubim and Seraphim, the seat of Thy honour, and lookest upon the abysses: Who seest all things before they are born; Who hast the power to kill and to restore again; Who hast the power to make green out of dry. Thou, Lord and Ruler of all, free me from this world, and hear me as I pray, as Thou didst hear the children of Israel from the land of Egypt, though they did not believe Thee, nor Thy servant Moses.

Vae peccatis meis! Cum elevaveris confringere terram, sub qua fissura petrarum me absconsurus sum ab ante virtutem tuam? Cui monti dicturus sum: Cade super me; et cui colli: Tege me ab ante metum Domini, cum te levaveris confringere terram? Rogo, Domine, subveni mihi: noli secundum actum meum me judicare, nihil enim in praeceptis tuis parui. Exaudi me orantem, sicut exaudisti Jonam de ventre ceti, sic exaudias me, et ejicias me de morte ad vitam. Sicut Ninivitae induerunt cinerem et cilicium, et poenitentiam egerunt ante Dominum. Exomologesin facienti ante conspectum tuum pro universis peccatis meis, qui es amator poenitentiae, miserere mei. Sed et David dicit: Domine, propter nomen tuum dele peccatum meum. Et ego deprecans majestatem tuam: Dele universa peccata mea, et exaudi me orantem, sicut audisti tres pueros de camino ignis, Ananiam, Azariam, Mizaelem: et misisti angelum tuum cum nimbo roris, et confusus est Nabuchodonosor praepositus regni: quoniam tu es Rex regnantium et Dominus dominantium, qui solus habes immortalitatera, et lucem habitas inaccessibilem, quam nemo hominum videt, nec videre potest. Exaudi me orantem, sicut exaudisti Danielem de lacu leonum, et misisti Abacuc prophetam, et attulit ei prandium, et dixit: Prande prandium quod tibi misit Deus. Et dixit Daniel: Non relinquet Dominus quaerentes se. Exaudi me orantem, sicut exaudisti Tobiam et Sarram dum orarent in atrio domus suae: tunc obtulit pro eis Raphael angelus orationes eorum: sic et tu exaudias preces meas, et admittas ad aulam sanctam tuam orationes meas, et continenter mittas Angelum tuum, qui deleat universa delicto mea, sicut delesti spiritum immundum a Sara filia Ragnel: et illumines cor meum, sicut illuminasti oculos Tobiae. Exaudi me orantem, sicut exaudisti Susannam inter manus seniorum, sic me liberes ab hoc saeculo, quia tu es amator purae co⟨n⟩scientiae. Exaudi me orantem, sicut exaudisti Ezechiam regem Judae et delesti ab eo infirmitatem: sic et a me auferas infirmitatem carnis, et augeas mihi ad fidem, sicut illi auxisti annos quindecim ad vitam. Libera me de medio saeculi hujus sicut liberasti Theclam de medio amphitheatro, libera me ab omni infirmitate carnis meae.

Woe to my sins! When Thou hast lifted Thyself up to shatter the earth, under what cleft of the rocks am I to hide myself from before Thy power? To what mountain am I to say: Fall upon me; and to what hill: Cover me from before the fear of the Lord, when Thou hast lifted Thyself up to shatter the earth? I beg, Lord, help me: do not judge me according to my conduct, for I have obeyed nothing in Thy precepts. Hear me as I pray, as Thou didst hear Jonah from the belly of the whale, so mayest Thou hear me, and cast me out from death into life. As the Ninevites put on ashes and sackcloth, and did penance before the Lord. To me, making confession before Thy sight for all my sins, Thou Who art the lover of penitence, have mercy on me. But David too says: Lord, for Thy name's sake blot out my sin. And I, beseeching Thy majesty: Blot out all my sins, and hear me as I pray, as Thou didst hear the three youths from the furnace of fire, Ananias, Azarias, Mizael: and Thou didst send Thy angel with a shower of dew, and Nebuchadnezzar, the one set over the kingdom, was confounded: for Thou art King of those who reign and Lord of those who rule, Who alone hast immortality, and dwellest in light unapproachable, which no man sees, nor can see. Hear me as I pray, as Thou didst hear Daniel from the lions' den, and didst send Habakkuk the prophet, and he brought him a meal, and said: Eat the meal which God has sent you. And Daniel said: The Lord will not forsake those who seek Him. Hear me as I pray, as Thou didst hear Tobias and Sarra while they prayed in the courtyard of their house: then the angel Raphael offered their prayers on their behalf: so also mayest Thou hear my petitions, and admit my prayers to Thy holy court, and forthwith send Thy Angel, to blot out all my offences, as Thou didst blot out the unclean spirit from Sara the daughter of Raguel: and mayest Thou illumine my heart, as Thou didst illumine the eyes of Tobias. Hear me as I pray, as Thou didst hear Susanna in the hands of the elders, so mayest Thou free me from this world, since Thou art the lover of a pure conscience. Hear me as I pray, as Thou didst hear Hezekiah king of Judah and didst blot out his infirmity: so also mayest Thou take away from me the infirmity of the flesh, and increase me unto faith, as Thou didst add to him fifteen years of life. Free me from the midst of this world as Thou didst free Thecla from the midst of the amphitheatre, free me from every infirmity of my flesh.

Te deprecor, Pater majestatis, qui in fine temporum misertus es nostri, mittens nobis Jesum Christum filium tuum Dominum Deum Salvatorem nostrum, natum ex Maria virgine de Spiritu sancto, annuntiante Gabriele angelo, per quem nos liberasti de periculo mortis imminentis.

I beseech Thee, Father of majesty, Who at the end of the times hadst mercy on us, sending us Jesus Christ Thy Son, our Lord God and Saviour, born of the Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit, as the angel Gabriel announced, through Whom Thou didst free us from the danger of imminent death.

Et te deprecor, Filium Dei vivi, qui fecisti tanta mirabilia, qui in Çana Galilaeae de aqua vinum fecisti, propter Israel: qui caecis oculos aperuisti; qui surdos audire fecisti, qui paralyticos ad sua membra revocasti; qui solvisti linguas blaesorum; daemonio vexatos sanasti; claudos, currentes fecisti velut cervos; mulierem de profluvio sanguinis liberasti; mortuos suscitasti; super aquam pedibus ambulasti; qui Petro labenti manum tradidisti; qui mare fundasti, et terminum ei posuisti, et dixisti: Huc usque venies, et hic te confringes in virtute tua. Te deprecor Filium Dei vivi, propter universa commissa mea, qui es in coelis Filius in Patre et Pater in te in sempiternum, qui sedes super Cherubim et Seraphim, sedem honoris tui.

And I beseech Thee, Son of the living God, Who didst such great wonders, Who in Cana of Galilee didst make wine from water, for the sake of Israel; Who didst open the eyes of the blind; Who didst make the deaf hear, Who didst restore the paralysed to their limbs; Who didst loose the tongues of stammerers; didst heal those troubled by a demon; didst make the lame run like deer; didst free the woman from the flow of blood; didst raise the dead; didst walk with Thy feet upon the water; Who didst give Thy hand to Peter as he was sinking; Who didst found the sea, and didst set it a boundary, and didst say: Thus far you shall come, and here you shall break yourself in your strength. I beseech Thee, Son of the living God, on account of all my offences, Who art in the heavens the Son in the Father and the Father in Thee for ever, Who sittest upon the Cherubim and Seraphim, the seat of Thy honour.

Tibi assistunt Angeli, Archangeli, numerus innumerabilis, timentes et paventes honorem et virtutem tuam, clamantes voce magna et dicentes: Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus sabaoth. Tu ipse nobis testamentum fecisti: Petite, et accipietis; pulsate, et aperietur vobis. Quodcumque a Patre meo petieritis in nomine meo, ego a Patre peto ut accipiatis. Ego peto, ut accipiam; quaero, ut inveniam; ego pulso, ut aperiatur mihi; ego in tuo nomine peto, ut tu a Patre petas, et detur mihi. Paratus sum propter nomen tuum victimam sanguinis fundere, et quodcumque tormentum sustinere. Tu es, Domine, auditor meus et defensor: defende me ab adversario meo. Angelus tuus lucis protegat me, quoniam tu dixisti: Quod credentes petieritis per orationem, dabitur vobis.

Angels and Archangels stand by Thee, a number beyond counting, fearing and trembling at Thy honour and power, crying with a loud voice and saying: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts. Thou Thyself didst make a covenant with us: Ask, and you shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened to you. Whatever you ask of My Father in My name, I ask of the Father that you may receive. I ask, that I may receive; I seek, that I may find; I knock, that it may be opened to me; I ask in Thy name, that Thou mayest ask of the Father, and it may be given to me. I am ready for Thy name's sake to pour out the offering of my blood, and to endure any torment whatever. Thou art, Lord, my hearer and defender: defend me from my adversary. Let Thy angel of light protect me, since Thou didst say: Whatever you ask in prayer believing shall be given to you.

Omnis homo mendax, tu es verax. Sicut tu repromisisti, potestatem habes, Domine, dare mihi omne sacramentum tuum coeleste, ut dignus sim faciem sanctorum tuorum videre. Spiritus in me operetur, voluntas tua in me fiat: quoniam tibi spopondi omnibus diebus vitae meae, qui passus es sub Pontio Pilato bonam confessionem, qui crucifixus descendisti, et conculcasti aculeum mortis. Devicta est mors, devictus est inimicus diabolus. Tu resurrexisti a mortuis, et apparuisti Apostolis tuis: sedes ad dexteram Patris, qui venturus es judicare vivos et mortuos. Tu dominaberis, libera me de manu quaerentis animam meam. Per nomen tuum libera me ab adversaria potestate, ut opem des vincendi inimicum meum: quoniam tu es potens assertor et advocatus precum et petitionum nostrarum animarum. Die ac nocte interpelles pro peccatis meis,

Every man is a liar, Thou art truthful. As Thou didst promise, Lord, the power is Thine to give me all Thy heavenly sacrament, that I may be worthy to see the face of Thy saints. Let the Spirit work in me, let Thy will be done in me: for I pledged myself to Thee all the days of my life, Who didst suffer the good confession under Pontius Pilate, Who, crucified, didst descend, and didst trample the sting of death. Death is conquered, the enemy, the devil, is conquered. Thou didst rise from the dead, and didst appear to Thy Apostles; Thou sittest at the right hand of the Father, Who art to come to judge the living and the dead. Thou shalt reign: free me from the hand of him who seeks my soul. Through Thy name free me from the hostile power, that Thou mayest give help for conquering my enemy: for Thou art the mighty champion and advocate of the prayers and petitions of our souls. Day and night mayest Thou intercede for my sins,

II. — Sina mons interpretatur. Tamquam verbo prorsus passivo auctor noster voce interpretor passim utitur; in grammatica non minus quam in theologia hospes. Pamel.

II. — Mount Sinai is interpreted. Our author uses the word interpretor throughout as though it were a wholly passive verb, a stranger in grammar no less than in theology. Pamelius.

In Psalmo II. Prorsus sic lego, non primo, cum etiam Cyprianus supra lib. Testim. III, cap. 29, secundum nuncupet hunc psalmum, haec verba citans, non primum. Pamel.

In Psalm II. I read exactly so, not first, since Cyprian too, above, in Testimonies book III, chapter 29, calls this psalm the second, quoting these words, not the first. Pamelius.

Et montem Sina. Adjicio montem, ex Cambron. cod. ex eodem reposui illud, Cum totus mundus mala facta habeat, et a diabolo, pro eo quod erat, cum totus mundus propter mala facta a diabolo. Pamel.

And Mount Sinai. I add montem from the Cambron codex; from the same I restored the words since the whole world has evil deeds, and from the devil, in place of what stood there, since the whole world because of evil deeds from the devil. Pamelius.

Quia et ego illud. Cambron., omisso quia, legit et ego odi illud; neutrum placet, quia longe aliter Evangelista, Quia ego testimonium perhibeo de illo. Pamel.

Because I too that. The Cambron [codex], omitting quia, reads and I hate it; neither is approved, because the Evangelist has it far otherwise: Because I bear witness of it. Pamelius.

(n11) ‹anchor: Spiritus sanctus filius Dei› · lemma note, col 910

III. — Spiritus sanctus filius Dei. De hac veterum loquendi formula, vide supra librum, quod idola non sint dii. Quare nihil movere debent lectorem, aut ista hunc aut duo similes infra docere. Neque enim ante haereses de Spiritu sancto exortas, tam caute scripserunt veteres. Pamel.

III. — The Holy Spirit, the Son of God. On this way of speaking among the ancients, see above the book That idols are not gods. Therefore neither this passage nor two similar ones below ought to disturb the reader. For before the heresies about the Holy Spirit arose, the ancients did not write so cautiously. Pamelius.
