Heresy seemd indeed to be profiting of the troubled state of the world, to rise up with renewed audacity. The Pelagians, supported by Bishop John of Jerusalem, assembled one night with torches and swords, and set fire to the monastery of St. Jerome, and to that of the sacred virgins then governed by Eustochium. Manfully seconded by her niece Paula the younger, the Saint rallied her terrified daughters, and they escaped together through the midst of the flames.
Uzushi seemd kweli kuwa kufaidika wa hali ya wasiwasi wa ulimwengu, kuinuka juu na audacity upya. Pelagians, mkono na Askofu John wa Yerusalemu, walikutana usiku mmoja na mienge na mapanga, na kuweka moto kwa monasteri ya St Jerome, na kwa kuwa mabikira takatifu kisha kutawaliwa na Eustochium. Muwe hodari seconded na mpwa wake Paula mdogo, Saint rallied binti zake na hofu, na wao alitoroka pamoja katikati ya moto.
