Qui videlicet Albanus paganus adhuc, cum perfidorum principum mandata adversum Christianos saevirent, clericum quendam persecutores fugientem hospitio recepit: quem dum orationibus continuis ac vigiliis die noctuque studere conspiceret, subito Divina gratia respectus exemplum fidei ac pietatis illius coepit aemulari, ac salutaribus eius exhortationibus paulatim edoctus, relictis idolatriae tenebris Christianus integro ex corde factus est.
This Alban to wit being yet but a pagan, when the cruel commandments of the unbelieving princes were now fierce against the Christians, received into his house one of the clergy which was flying from the persecutors: whom he perceiving both night and day to continue instant in prayer and watching, being suddenly touched with the grace of God began to follow the example of his faith and virtue, and by little and little instructed by his wholesome exhortations, forsaking his blind idolatry became Christian with his whole heart.
