The .xxxiii. Chapter.
And when they were scaped / then they knew that the isle was called Millet. And the people of the country showed ⟨p. cci⟩us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire and received us every one / because of the present rain / & because of cold. And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks / & put them into the fire / there came a viper out of the heat and leapt on his hand. When the men of the country saw the worm hang on his hand / they said among them selves: this man must needs be a murderer. Whom (though he have escaped the see) yet vengeance suffereth not to live. But he shook of the vermin into the fire / and felt no harm. Howbeit they waited when he should have swollen / or fallen down deed suddenly. But after they had looked a great while / and saw no harm come to him / they changed their minds / and said that he was a God.
