Brother Da. Gr., who wrote this account, as the
old copy shows, also writes: “This was done with
him in the year 1557, a little while before I came to
Rome, since at that time Algerius was still on everybody’s
tongue. I have also heard with my own
ears, from the mouth of some who counted themselves
good papists and witnessed his execution,
how wonderfully steadfast he died; and that he truly
believed in his heart what he there in his severe
martyrdom and pain confessed with his mouth before
all the people. Hence there is no doubt but he
ascended immediately to heaven, and was saved.
552Thus must the adversaries bear testimony to the
saints of God, even against their will. Deut. 32:31.

Shortly afterwards, the flood occurred at Rome,
when the Tiber overflowed, and did great damage,
so that some Romans say that Rome suffered as
much damage as if it had been plundered with
haste; which I for my part, found to be true indeed,
having never seen a greater famine of bread. It is
impossible for me to tell how fearful the sight and
distress was, especially among the poor people.
But they do not recognize that it was a just [recompense].
Wis. 19:13.
