Hart. What if some were deceived in circumstance of time. Yet the story notwithstanding of her assumption is true, as our Divines of Rhemes report it. For *at the time of her death, (as S. oDenis first, and after him S. pDamascene writeth,) all the Apostles, then dispersed into divers nations to preach the gospel, were miraculously brought together, (saving S. Thomas who came the third day after,) to Jerusalem, to honour her divine departure and funeral, as the said S. Denis writeth. Who saith, that him self, S. Timothy, and S. Hierotheus were present: testifying ⟨p. 484⟩also of his own hearing, that, both before her death and after for three days, not only the Apostles and other holy men present, but the Angels also and powers of heaven did sing most melodious hymns. They buried her sacred body in Gethsemani. But for S. Thomas sake, who desired to see and to reverence it, they opened the sepulchre the third day: and finding it void of the holy body, but exceedingly fragrant, they returned, assuredly deeming that her body was assumed into heaven. As the Church of God holdeth, being most agreeable to the singular privilege of the mother of God: and therefore celebrateth most solemnly the day of her assumption. And it is consonant not only to the said S. Denis, & S. Damascene, but to S. qAthanasius also, who avoucheth the same. Of which assumption of her body S. Bernard also wrote five notable sermons, extant in his works.
