' : So various was the behaviour of these men ; we ourselves being overwhelmed 44 EPISTLE OF THE GALL1CAN CHURCHES with sorrow because we could not bury the bodies in the earth. For night did not help us to do this, nor could bribes persuade nor sup- plication shame our foes ; but in every way they guarded them, looking upon it as a great point gained if they prevented them being buried. ***** For six days the bodi...es of the martyrs were publicly exhibited and exposed to the open air, and then they were burnt and reduced to ashes by the godless, and swept away in the river Rhodanus, which flows close by, to prevent any relic of them being seen any longer upon the earth. And this they did, imagining that they could conquer God, and deprive them of their new birth, 1 in order that (in their own words) " they may have no hope of a resurrection, through trusting in which they bring in to us a foreign and strange religion, and despise terrible sufferings, and are willing with joy to die.
