Tom. I. , 773. 2 ) Massinger, p. 310. 3 ) AS, Feb. Tom. I. , 773. Massinger's "Virgin Martyr". 60 The important point in this short scene is that Dorothea's being- a Christian is revealed to the persecutor Theophilus. Harpax is the means by which this is brought about. It is his business generally, as we have seen, to inform his master who and where the Christians are. The obscure language by which Theophilus is mystified, is evidently intended to inspire the latter with greater reverence and a...we for the wisdom and knowledge of his guide, who with a few words is able to stir up the full anger of Theophilus against the innocent Dorothea. The two versions of the legend differ in regard to the manner how the judg-e obtains the information of Dorothea's religion. According to the shorter version, he is filled by the devil with carnal love for her, and, sending for her to court her, he discovers that she is a Christian. The other version states the matter thus: "Cum fama sanctitatis eius per aures hominum curreret, pervenit ad praesidis persecutoris auditum" 1 ).
