NATALE
S. GREGORII.
GREGORIUS Papa beatus, Anglicæ gentis Apostolus, hac instanti die, post varies labores, meditationesque divinas, ad Dei regnum feliciter ascendit. Anglicæ gentis recte is Apostolus est; ipsius quippe per consilium, & legationem a se missam & ininstitutam, a cultu Diaboli nos eripuit, & ad Dei fidem convertit. Libri sacri quamplurimi præclaram ejus conversationem prædicant, vitamque sanctam, inter quos & ea Anglorum historia quam rex Alfredus in sermonem Anglicum transtulit ex Latino. Liber iste, de viro isthoc sancto satis loquitur apertè. Volumus tamen nonnihil de eo vobis enarrare breviter. cùm & liber anteraemoratus, omnibus nondum innotuerit, etiamsi verfus sit Anglicè. Gregorius papa
