Apostolic Fathers
But not to dwell upon ancient examples, let us come to the most recent spiritual heroes. Let us take the noble examples furnished in our own generation. Through envy and jealousy, the greatest and most righteous pillars [of the church] have been persecuted and put to death. Let us set before our eyes the illustrious apostles. Peter, through unrighteous envy, endured not one or two, but numerous labours; and when he had at length suffered martyrdom, departed to the place of glory due to him. Owing to envy, Paul also obtained the reward of patient endurance, after being seven times thrown into captivity, compelled to flee, and stoned. After preaching both in the east and west, he gained the illustrious reputation due to his faith, having taught righteousness to the whole world, and come to the extreme limit of the west, and suffered martyrdom under the prefects. Thus was he removed from the world, and went into the holy place, having proved himself a striking example of patience.

With joyful countenance did she depart; and as she went, she said to me, “Behave like a man, Hermas.”

1 Enoch
Where burnt, both by day and night, six mountains formed of glorious stones; three towards the east, and three towards the south.
Those which were towards the east were of a variegated stone; one of which was of margarite, and another of antimony. Those towards the south were of a red stone. The middle one reached to heaven like the throne of God; _a throne composed_ of alabaster, the top of which was of sapphire. I saw, too, a blazing fire hanging over all the mountains.
Their stones were brilliant and beautiful; all were brilliant and splendid to behold; and beautiful was their surface. Three _mountains_ were towards the east, and strengthened by being placed one upon another; and three were towards the south, strengthened in a similar manner. There were likewise deep valleys, which did not approach each other. And the seventh mountain was in the midst of them. In length they all resembled the seat of a throne, and odoriferous trees surrounded them.
From thence I proceeded to the middle of the earth, and beheld a happy and fertile spot, which contained branches continually sprouting from the trees which were planted in it.

And towards the sides of these valleys I perceived cinnamon of a sweet odour. Over them I advanced towards the east.
To the east of these beasts I perceived the extremities of the earth, where heaven ceased. The gates of heaven stood open, and I beheld the celestial stars come forth. I numbered them as they proceeded out of the gate, and wrote them all down, as they came out one by one according to their number. _I wrote down_ their names altogether, their times and their seasons, as the angel Uriel, who was with me, pointed them out to me.
From thence I went to the extremities of heaven eastwards; where I saw three heavenly gates open to the east, which had smaller gates within them.
