In this Honorius his time, came a Priest to Rome, called Arnulphus, who preached vehemently against the pride, avarice, and incontinence of the Clergy, and exhorted them to follow Christ. He was well respected of the Citizens, but the Cardinals and Clergy hated him, and made him away in the night by drowning him. Sabelicus and Platina say, they hanged him. His Martyrdom (he said) was revealed to him by an Angel in the Desert, and said unto them. I know you will kill me privily, and no marvel; for if Saint Peter were here, and rebuked your vices that exceed, you would serve him so, and said with a loud voice; I am not afraid to suffer for the truth, but God will be revenged, you play the blind guides, and lead the people to Hell.
