JOHN. How much more powerful is one fervent prayer than all the pride of man!
GALLICANUS. That is true indeed.
PAUL. What mighty succour God in His mercy sends to those who humbly trust in Him!
GALLICANUS. I have had good proof of it.
JOHN. But the promise made when the storm was raging must be kept now it is calm.
GALLICANUS. I agree. It is my wish to be baptized as soon as possible, and to devote the rest of my life to the service of God.
PAUL. You are right.
Scene X
GALLICANUS. Look! That vast crowd of citizens has gathered to see our entry into Rome! See how they flock to acclaim us, bearing according to custom the symbols of victory!
JOHN. It is only natural.
