the garment. Clarus grasped it at the other end ; some of
the monks took the part of Anatolius, and pulled at the
vestment to get it out of the hands of the abbot. Others,
concurring with their superior, tried to drag it from Anatolius ; others adopting a middle course, attempted to withdraw it from both. A scuffle ensued, in which the shirt was
torn to rags.

A bishop named Rufus adored him; and was deposed from
his see for doing so. At the same time Martin was predicting the reappearance of Nero, who was not dead, but
hiding among the Parthians. He would subjugate ten kings
and reign in the West, whilst Antichrist would establish his
throne at Jerusalem. Finally Antichrist would kill Nero and
reign supreme over East and West. Antichrist, Martin declared, was already born. Eight years had passed since he
made that announcement, when it was published by Sulpicius in his " Dialogues." Sulpicius adds, " Judge then how
near at hand is that event which we dread !"
One night the devil appeared to S. Martin crowned with
gold and gems, and in a magnificent vestment sparkling with
jewels. "I am come in judgment," he said. "Adore me."

Where the piercing of the spear? Where the crown of
thorns ? When I see the marks of the Passion I shall adore
my Lord."
