SAnctus, being under the fourth Persecution grievously tormented; and by the Tormentors asked, What he was, answered nothing, but said he was a Christian: And notwithstanding his being scorched by hot plates in the tenderest parts of the Body, so that his Body lost the shape of a Man; yet he never shrank: and declared, That nothing was terrible or ought to be feared where the love of God is, and nothing grievous wherein the glory of Christ is manifested. And when he was again punished, though his Body was so misfigured before his second punishment, yet now was it reduced to its first shape of a Man, and suppled in all its contracted parts. Soon after he was again tormented, and set in an hot Iron-chair; nor yet would he confess any thing but that he was a Christian: And after this, being made a sad spectacle to the People, he was beheaded. Vol. 1. p. 60.61, 62.

Vol. 1. p. 101.
