“This much may suffice to show that _Dominicum servasti?_ was no question in Pliny’s time, as Mr. Gurney intends us to believe it was. I have, however, still other proof of Mr. Gurney’s unfair dealing with the subject, but I defer stating it for the present, that I may proceed in the inquiry, What may have been the authority on which Bishop Andrews relied when stating that _Dominicum servasti?_ was ever a usual question put by the heathen persecutors? I shall with this view pass over the martyrdoms which intervened between Pliny’s time and the fourth century, as they contain nothing to the purpose, and shall come at once to that martyrdom the narrative of which was, I have no doubt, the source from which Bishop Andrews derived his question, _Dominicum servasti?_ ‘Hold you the Lord’s day?’ This martyrdom happened A. D. 304.[503] The sufferers were Saturninus and his four sons, and several other persons. They were taken to Carthage, and brought before the proconsul Amulinus. In the account given of their examinations by him, the phrases, ‘CELEBRARE _Dominicum_,’ and ‘AGERE _Dominicum_,’ frequently occur, but in no instance is the verb ‘_servare_’ used in reference to _Dominicum_. I mention this chiefly to show that when Bishop Andrews, alluding, as no doubt he does, to the narrative of this martyrdom, says the question was, _Dominicum servasti?_ it is very clear he had not his author at hand, and that in trusting to his memory, he coined a phrase of his own.”[504] Domville quotes at length the conversation between the proconsul and the martyrs, which is quite similar in most respects to Gurney’s and Edward’s quotation from Andrews. He then adds:— “The narrative of the martyrdom of Saturninus being the only one which has the appearance of supporting the assertion of Bishop Andrews that, ‘Hold you the Lord’s day?’ was the usual question to the martyrs, what if I should prove that even this narrative affords no support to that assertion? yet nothing is more easy than this proof; for Bishop Andrews has quite mistaken the meaning of the word _Dominicum_ in translating it ‘the Lord’s day.’ It had no such meaning. It was a barbarous word in use among some of the ecclesiastical writers in, and subsequent to, the fourth century, to express sometimes a church, and at other times the Lord’s supper, but NEVER the Lord’s day.[505] My authorities on this point are— “1. Ruinart, who, upon the word _Dominicum_, in the narrative of the martyrdom of Saturninus, has a note, in which he says it is a word signifying the Lord’s supper[506] (‘_Dominicum vero desinat sacra mysteria_’), and he quotes Tertullian and Cyprian in support of this interpretation.
