Cumque vidisset Albanum, mox ira succensus nimia quod se ille ultro pro hospite quem susceperat militibus offerre ac discrimini dare praesumpsisset, ad simulacra daemonum quibus adsistebat eum iussit pertrahi: Quia rebellem, inquiens, ac sacrilegum celare quam militibus reddere maluisti, ut contemptor divum meritam blasphemiae suae poenam lueret, quaecumque illi debebantur supplicia tu solvere habes, si a cultu nostrae religionis discedere tentas.
And when he saw Alban, he became angry because Alban willingly put himself in danger for harboring a guest. He ordered Alban to be brought before the idols of the devils and said, "Since you chose to hide the rebel and traitor to our gods instead of handing him over to the soldiers so that he could be punished for blasphemously disrespecting our gods, you will suffer the same pains he would have endured if you try to abandon our religious beliefs."
