Andrew the Apostle, and Brother of Peter, being conversant in a City called Patris in Achaia, brought many to the Faith of Christ. Egeas the Governor hearing of it resorted to him, and with threats of the Cross dissuaded him by his Proconsul; but Andrew said he would not have preached the honour and glory of the Cross, if he had feared the death of the Cross. And being condemned, when he saw the Cross he said, O Cross, most welcome and long looked for, with a willing mind, joyfully and desirously I come to thee, being the Scholar of him who did hang on thee, because ⟨p. 2⟩I have always been thy Lover, and have coveted to embrace thee. And so being crucified he gave up the ghost the last of November. See Vol. 1. pag. 42, 43.
