Book Two - Chapter 14

Of a certain youth who was bound.

A YOUTH once caught and bound by his foes was being carried in a cart to be committed to stricter ward. And while they were passing by the said church on their way he, calling upon the name of the apostle, suddenly found himself freed, and straightway leaping down from the cart entered the church, and in that manner escaped the hands of his enemies.
