Here followeth the Life of S. Crisaunt, and first of his name, and of S. Daria, and of her name.

Crisaunt is said as grown and multiplied of God. For when his father natural would have made him to sacrifice unto the idols, God gave to him force and power to contrary and gainsay his father, and yield himself to God. Daria is said of dare, to give, and of dia, which is as much to say as twain. For she gave her to two things, first, will to do evil, when she had will to draw Crisaunt to sacrifice to the idols, and after, she gave her to good will when Crisaunt had converted her to God.
