We never had one magistrate who was
Both mild and clean of hand—such traits conflict.
The proud are pure while thieves are mannered mild.
States need both traits and hire both kinds of men.

The person who would hate the man god loves
Commits of course the greatest foolishness
Since he thereby would fight the god himself.
One should instead embrace the man god loves
And not fall prey to envy’s senseless spite.

“Wherefore cease to worry me and to overwhelm me with your scrolls. Spare at least your money with which you hire secretaries and copyists, employing the same persons to write for you and to applaud you. Possibly their praise is due to the fact that they make a profit out of writing for you.”*PJ Reference: Jerome, Letter LXI, To Vigilantius, 4.*

“He shaved his hair once a year on Easter Day, and until his death was accustomed to lie on the bare ground or on a bed of rushes. The sackcloth which he had once put on he never washed, and he used to say that it was going too far to look for cleanliness in goats’ hair-cloth.”*PJ Reference: Jerome, The Life of Hilarion, 10.*

“All at once Vigilantius, or, more correctly, Dormitantius, has arisen, animated by an unclean spirit, to fight against the spirit of Christ, and to deny that religious reverence is to be paid to the tombs of the martyrs. Vigils, he says, are to be condemned.”*PJ Reference: Jerome, Against Vigilantius, 1.*

“Possibly, in his malice, he may choose once more to misrepresent me and say that I have trumped up a case for the sake of showing off my rhetorical and declamatory powers in combating it, like the letter which I wrote to Gaul relating to a mother and daughter who were at variance.”*PJ Reference: Jerome, Against Vigilantius, 3.*

“He certainly well represents his race. Sprung from a set of brigands and persons collected together from all quarters (I mean those whom Pompey… brought down from the Pyrenees and gathered together into one town, he has carried on their brigand practices by his attack upon the Church of God. … He makes his raids upon the churches of Gaul, not carrying the standard of the cross, but, on the contrary, the ensign of the devil. … Gaul supports a native foe, and sees seated in the Church a man who has lost his head and ought to be put in the straight-jacket which Hippocrates recommended.”*PJ Reference: Jerome, Against Vigilantius, 4.*

According to Jerome, Vigilantius had written these things: “What need is there for you not only to pay such honor, not to say adoration, to the thing, whatever it may be, which you carry about in a little vessel and worship?” … “Why do you kiss and adore a bit of powder wrapped up in a cloth?” … “Under the cloak of religion, we see what is all but a heathen ceremony introduced into the churches: while the sun is still shining, heaps of tapers are lighted, and everywhere a paltry bit of powder wrapped up in a costly cloth is kissed and worshipped.”*PJ Reference: Jerome, Against Vigilantius, 4.*

“As to the question of tapers, however, we do not, as you in vain misrepresent us, light them in the daytime, but by their solace, we would cheer the darkness of the night and watch for the dawn, lest we should be blind like you and sleep in darkness. And if some persons, being ignorant and simple minded… adopt the practice in honor of the martyrs, what harm is thereby done to you?”*PJ Reference: Jerome, Against Vigilantius, 7.*

“Because we formally worshipped idols, does it follow that we ought not now worship God lest we seem to pay like honor to Him and to idol? In the one case respect was paid to idols, and therefore the ceremony is to be abhorred; in the other, the martyrs are venerated, and the same ceremony is therefore to be allowed.”*PJ Reference: Jerome, Against Vigilantius, 7.*

“Throughout the whole Eastern Church, even when there are no relics of the martyrs, whenever the Gospel is to be read, the candles are lighted, although the dawn may be reddening the sky, not of course to scatter the darkness, but by way of evidencing our joy.”*PJ Reference: Jerome, Against Vigilantius, 7.*

“Does the Bishop of Rome do wrong when he offers sacrifices to the Lord over the venerable bones of the dead men Peter and Paul, as we should say, but according to you, over a worthless bit of dust, and judges their tombs worthy to be Christ’s altars? … Thus, according to you, the sacred buildings are like the sepulchres of the Pharisees, whitened without, while within they have filthy remains and are full of foul smells and uncleanness.”*PJ Reference: Jerome, Against Vigilantius, 8.*

“I am surprised that you do not tell us that there must upon no account be martyrdoms, inasmuch as God, who does not ask for the blood of goats and bulls, much less requires the blood of men. This is what you say, or rather, even if you do not say it, you are taken as meaning to assert it.”*PJ Reference: Jerome, Against Vigilantius, 8.*

“I see, I see, most unfortunate of mortals, why you are so sad and what causes your fear. That unclean spirit who forces you to write these things has often been tortured by this worthless dust, aye, and is being tortured at this moment, and though in your case he conceals his wounds, in others he makes confession. … Let me give you my advice: go to the basilicas of the martyrs, and someday you will be cleansed. … You who speak in the person of Vigilantius are really either Mercury … or Nocturnus … or Father Bacchus, of drunken fame, with the tankard hanging from his shoulder, with his ever ruby face, foaming lips, and unbridled brawling.”*PJ Reference: Jerome, Against Vigilantius, 10.*

Jerome retreated to the desert “so that the eye of the harlot may not lead me captive, that beauty may not lead me to unlawful embraces. … I confess my weakness. I would not fight in the hope of victory, lest some time or other I lose the victory. ... You who fight may either be overcome or may overcome. I who fly do not overcome, inasmuch as I fly; but I fly to make sure that I may not be overcome. ... Moreover, what we have said must apply to avarice and to all vices which are avoided by solitude. We therefore keep clear of the crowded cities, that we may not be compelled to do what we are urged to do, not so much by nature as by choice.*PJ Reference: Jerome, Against Vigilantius, 16.*
