Original Text :	Ignem quoque in domum sancti Petri per quendam traditorem immittere voluit, sed Dei misericordia protegente non potuit. Cogitavit enim, ut de improviso portas irrumperet, si Romani derelictis propugnaculis ad incendium restinguendum concurrerent; unde ignem domibus quibusdam Sancto Petro contiguis immitti fecit. Sed domnus apostolicus huic versutiae obviavit; nam primum viso incendio, omnes milites Romanos ad propugnacula defendenda transmisit, ipseque solus fiducia sancti Petri fretus, facto signo crucis contra incendium, ignem progredi ulterius non permisit.
