Narcissus a godly Bishop of Jerusalem, was falsely accused by three men, of many foul matters, who sealed up with oaths and imprecations their false testimonies; but shortly after that, one of them with1 his whole family and substance was burnt with fire: another of them was stricken with a grievous disease, such as in his imprecation he had wished to himself; the third terrified with the sight of Gods judgements upon the former, became very penitent, and poured out the grief of his heart in such abundance of tears, that thereby he became blind.
