The same day that these three assaults were made, Pope Clement passed little on the Emperors army:1 for he had accursed them on the Saturday before, and in his curse he called the Almains Lutherans, and the Spaniards Murreines or Mores: and when he was hearing of Mass, suddenly the Almains entered into the Church, and slue his Bard and divers other. He seeing that, fled in all haste by a privy way,2 to the Castle of S. Angel: and all they that followed him that way and could not enter, were slain, and if he in that fury had been taken, he had been slain. The Cardinals and other Prelates fled to the Castle of S. Angel, over the bridge, where many of the common people were overpressed and trodden down, as they gave way to the Cardinals and other estates, that passed toward the Castle for succour.
