RESPONSIONS.

I.

Latin Prose.

But now a multitude of Germans had surrounded the theatre with their swords drawn. All the spectators looked for nothing but death, and at every one's coming in a fear seized upon them, as if they were to be cut in pieces immediately; and in great distress they were, as neither having courage enough to go out of the theatre, nor believing themselves safe from danger if they tarried there. And when the Germans came upon them, the cry was so great that the theatre resounded with the entreaties of the spectators to the soldiers, pleading that they were entirely ignorant of everything that related to such seditious contrivances, and if there were any sedition raised, they knew nothing of it. They therefore begged that they would spare them, and not punish those that had not the least hand in such crimes, while they neglected to search after the real offenders.
