Tum subito occurrit pergentibus inimica vis daemonum, qui tantos talesque viros ad recuperandam tendere populorum salutem inviderent: concitant procellas, caelum diemque nubium nocte subducunt; ventorum furores vela non sustinent; cedebant ministeria victa nautarum; ferebatur navigium oratione, non viribus: et casu dux ipse vel pontifex fractus corpore, lassitudine ac sopore resolutus est.
Then suddenly, as they were sailing, the might of evil spirits cometh to withstand them, much envying that men of such worth and power should go to recover the salvation of the people: they raiseth tempests, they take away the day from heaven with a night of clouds; the sails are not able to bear the boisterous fury of the winds; the mariners in despair gave over their office; the ship was guided by prayer rather than by power of men; and their captain and bishop Germanus himself, his strength being spent, had chanced to fall asleep through weariness.
