A.D. LXVIII. Suet. Ner. XL. Suet. Ner. Suet. Ner. At Neapolis in Campania, about March 21, ' on the very day on which he had put his mother to death,' he heard of the disturbance in the Gauls, which began a few days after the Calends of March; and so leisurely and carelessly did he take it, that for an entire week he neither replied to any person in writing, nor gave any orders or directions;' then as one messenger came on after another, he became very anxious and returned to Rome,' in the beginning of April; ' and believing that an expedition was necessary, he deprived both the consuls of their office before the due time, and in their place took on himself alone the duty of the consulship.' S. Paul (with S. Peter) suffers martyrdom1 in Clem. Rom. the last year of Nero. But this occurred under 1. Ep. 5. 1 We are so apt to connect success in the affairs of this world with merit, that a feeling of disappointment almost unavoidably comes upon us as we close this account of S. Paul's labours. The wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he. With the earnest Christian, however, and much more with the devoted missionary, this result must excite neither surprise nor fear; he must accustom himself, assisted it may be by like trials, to look upon death as Paul looked on it when he wrote the second time to Timothy; and he will be sustained by the same reflexion: I ENDURE ALL THINGS FOR THE ELECT'S SAKE, THAT THEY MAY ALSO OBTAIN THE SALVATION WHICH IS IN CHRIST JESUS WITH ETERNAL GLORY. IT IS A FAITHFUL SAYING FOR IF WE BE DEAD WITH HIM, WE SHALL ALSO LIVE WITH HIM: IF WE SUFFER, WE SHALL ALSO REIGN WITH HIM; IF WE DENY HIM, HE WILL ALSO DENY US.-2 Tim. ii. 10, 11, 12. the prefects1 in the city, and so in the absence A.D.
