Quyriache ſayd thou wood hounde[26] thou hiſt doon to me grete prouffyte / For thou haſt cut of the hande / wyth whiche I have many tymes wreton to the ſynagoges that they ſhold not byleve in Iheſu criſte / and now ſythe[27] I am criſten / thou haſt taken from me that whiche noyed me / thenne dyd Iulyan do melte leed, and caſte it in his mowthe / and after dyd doo brynge a bedde of yron / and made quyriache to be layed and ſtratched theron / and after leyed under brennyng cooles / and threwe therein grece and ſalte / for to torment hym the more / and whan quyriache moved not / Iulyan themperour ſaid to hym / outher thou ſhalt ſacrefyſe (to) our goddes / or thou ſhalt ſay at the leſte thou art not criſten/. And whan he ſawe he wolde not do never neyther / he dyd doo make a depe pytte ful of ſerpentes and venemous beſtys / and caſte hym therein / & whan he entred / anone the ſerpentes were al deed/. Thenne Iulyan put hym in a cawdron ful of boylyng oyle / and whan he ſhold entre in to hit / he bleſſyd it & ſayd / Fayre lord torne thys bane[28] to baptyſm of marterdom / Thenne was Iulyan moche angry / and commaunded that he ſhould be ryven thorough his herte with a ſwerde / and in this manere he fynyſſhed his lyff. The vertue of the croſſe is declared to us by many miracles / For it happed on a tyme that one enchantour had dyſceyved a notarye / and brought hym to a place / where he had aſſembled a grete companye of devylles / and promyſed to hym to have muche rycheſſe / and whan he came there / he ſaw one perſone blacke ſyttynge on a grete chayer / And all aboute hym al ful of horyble people and blacke whiche had ſperes and ſwerdes / Thenne demaunded thys grete devyll of the enchantour / who was that clerke / thenchantour ſayd to hym / Syr he is oures / thenne ſayd the devyl to hym yf thou wylte worſhyp me and be my ſervaunte / and denye Iheſu cryſte / thou ſhalt ſytte on my right ſyde / The clerke anone bleſſyd hym wyth the ſygne of the croſſe / and ſayd that he was the ſervaunte of Iheſu criſte / his ſavyour / And anone as he had made the croſſe / that grete multitude of devylles vanyſſhed aweye. It happed that this notarye after this on a tyme entryd with hys lord in the chyrche of ſaynt ſophye / & knelyd doun on his knees to fore the ymage of the crucyfyxe / the which crucifyxe as it ſemed loked moche openly and ſharpelye on hym/. Thenne his lord made hym to go aparte on another ſyde / and alleweye the crucifixe torned his eyen toward hym/. Thenne he made hym goo on the lefte ſyde / and yet the crucifixe loked on hym / Thenne was the lord moche admerveyled / and charged hym & commaunded hym that he ſhold telle hym wherof he had ſo deſerved that the crucifyxe ſo behelde and loked on hym / Thenne ſayde the notarye that he coude not remembre hym of no good thynge that he had doon / ſaufe that one tyme he wold not renye nor forſake the crucifixe tofore the devyl/.
