''At lengr h S·tin t Juste, who was no w aged, fell ill, bled rOtll :rl the church to which he had betnk~11 him· self,netermined to wreak a just YE>ngen nce, n~ thfy and was ntlen•h·rl in the most devoted manner by his saicl, npon the erim'n:d.

When the affectionate Lector saw his ve1wrahle fhther near his end, froiTJ the fury of the crowed, 1erninding them that th ey would violat e the sacred phce by avenging th~mselves the thought- of hi» own desolation overcame him and he cried out in llis a nguish : 'My G ')d and my Lord why up :'n hi 111 there.

This f.o wrought upon Saint Juste that he gnvt- said by Viator was so truly religious, as if God were thc m:·•u up to then1 on one Ponditioo, viz: that thry taking from him his guide to sanetity, that Saint Juste would imprison him for trial without d1;ing him nny consoled him as Saint Sixtus consoled Saint Lawrence : •Be not troubled, my son, as if you were to be deprived hnrm .'

•·This they pronlisecl, but no sooner w:<s the unfortu- of all consolat iou, for in a short time you will follow nate ma n in their power than tl1ey put him to a cruel me.'
