Chapter LXX.
Hilary,2691
bishop of the
church at Arles, a man learned in Holy Scriptures, was devoted to
poverty, and earnestly anxious to live in narrow circumstances, not
only in religiousness of mind, but also in labour of body. To secure
this estate of poverty, this man of noble race and very differently
brought up, engaged in farming, though it was beyond his strength, and
yet did not neglect spiritual matters. He was an acceptable teacher
also, and without regard to persons administered correction to all.2692

of preaching but has the support of no good mss. | He published some few things, brief, but
showing immortal genius, and indicating an erudite mind, as well as
capacity for vigorous speech; among these that work which is of so
great practical value to many, his Life of Saint Honoratus, his
predecessor. He died during the reign of Valentinianus and
Martianus.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
