AFTER laying some months in prison, martin was sent to an island at some distance, and there cut to pieces, A. D. 655.

JOHN, bishop of Bergamo, in Lombardy, was a learned man, and a good christian. He did his utmost endeavours to clear the church from Arianism, and joining in this holy work with John, bishop of Milan, he was very successful against the heretics. Grimoald, however, an Arian, having usurped the throne of Lombardy, the orthodox christians feared that heresy would gain footing• once more, in Lombardy; but the bishop of Bergamo used such persuasive arguments with Grimoald, that he brought him from the errors of Arianism to profes• the orthodox faith.
