Ah! he was in his agony now! that sudden cry and silence from the crowd showed it. What was it he had asked? one creed?—
“I believe in God the Father Almighty.” ...
The soft heavy murmur of the crowd rose and fell. Catholics were praying all round him, reckless with love and pity:
“Jesu, Jesu, save him! Be to him a Jesus!”...
“Mary pray! Mary pray!”...
“Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem.”...
“Passus sub Pontio Pilato.”...
“Crucified dead and buried.”...
“The forgiveness of sins.”...
“And the Life Everlasting.”...
