Unde dum redeunt, insidiator inimicus casualibus laqueis praeparatis, Germani pedem lapsus occasione contrivit, ignorans merita illius, sicut Job beatissimi, afflictione corporis propaganda: et dum aliquandiu uno in loco infirmitatis necessitate teneretur, in vicina qua manebat casula exarsit incendium: quod consumptis domibus quae illic palustri harundine tegebantur, ad eum habitaculum in quo idem iacebat, flabris stimulantibus ferebatur.
As they were coming back thence, the crafty enemy, by the procurement of snares that fell in the way, bruised the foot of Germanus by means of a fall he had. Little knew the devil that by the affliction of the body (as it was in blessed Job) the merits of the holy man should be thereby the more increased; and whiles for the time by the reason of his weakness he was forced to tarry still in one place, the next hut to that he lodged in was set on fire, so that, after it had consumed the houses about, that were there thatched with reed, it was now being carried through the blowing of the wind to that lodging wherein this good man was lying.
