Annus Dierum Sanctorum
Ignem ardentem extinguit
It quencheth a flaming fire.

Liberasti me a pressura flammae quae circumdedit me.
Thou hast delivered me from the oppression of the flame which surrounded me.
Ecclesiasticus 51.4, 6
In medio ignis non sum aestuatus.
And in the midst of the fire I was not burnt.
Ecclesiasticus 51.6
Annus Dierum Sanctorum
Succendet ignem in delubris.
He shall kindle a fire in the temples.
Jeremiah 43.12
Disperdam simulacra, et cessare facia idola.
I will also destroy the idols, and I will make an end of the idols.
