So the day being appointed Magus taking his wings in the Mount Capitolinus, began to fly in the air. But Peter by the power of the Lord Jesus brought him down with his wings headlong to the ground, by the which fall his legs and joints were broken, and he thereupon dyed. Then Nero sorrowing for the death of him, sought matter against Peter to put him to death. Which when the people perceived, they entreated Peter with much a doe, that he would fly the City. Peter through their importunity at length persuaded, prepared himself to avoid. But coming to the gate he saw the Lord Christ come to meet him, to whom he worshipping said: Lord whether doest thou go? To whom he answered and said, I come again to be crucified. By this Peter perceiving his suffering to be understanded, returned back into the City again. And so was he crucified, in manner as is before declared. And this out of Egesippus.
