Eugenius I

No matter for that, Eugenius; I would give the shirt off my back to be burned into tinder, were it only to satisfy one feverish enquirer, how many sparks at one good stroke, a good flint and steel could strike into the tail of it.——Think ye not that in striking these in,—he might, peradventure, strike something out? as sure as a gun.——

Eddius makes the same mistake.898.A daughter of the Count.899.He presented Wilfrid to the Pope, Eugenius I. A leaden “bulla” with the name of Boniface, Archdeacon, inscribed upon it was found at Whitby not long ago.900.I.e., to Annemundus.901.This seems to be another mistake in which Bede follows Eddius.

Eugenius I., pope from 654 to 657.

Theodore I., St. Martin I., St. Eugenius I., St. Vitalian, Deusdedit, Donus I., rejected and condemned the decision urged upon them by the imperial and patriarchal pressure, all of them at the risk of every sort of persecution—one, St. Martin, at the cost of a singularly painful and glorious martyrdom.

Yorick - - So much the better: for when my views are direct, Eugenius, I care not if all the world saw me feel it.
