Cumque ad mortem duceretur, pervenit ad flumen quod muro et harena ubi feriendus erat, meatu rapidissimo dividebatur: viditque ibi non parvam hominum multitudinem utriusque sexus, conditionis diversae et aetatis, quae sine dubio Divinitatis instinctu ad obsequium beatissimi confessoris ac martyris vocabatur, et ita fluminis ipsius occupabat pontem ut intra vesperam transire vix posset.
And in the way, as he was led to death, he came to a flood which with a very swift course ran betwixt the town wall and the open place where he should suffer: and he saw there a great company of all sexes, degrees and ages (moved thereto beyond doubt by inspiration of God), following along with the blessed confessor and martyr, and so great numbers had possession of the bridge over the said flood that it would be toward night ere they all could get over.
