And after, on the morn, he made St. George to be set between two wheels, which were full of swords, sharp and cutting on both sides, but anon the wheels were broken and St. George escaped without hurt.  And then commanded Dacian that they should put him in a caldron full of molten lead, and when St. George entered therein, by the virtue of our Lord it seemed that he was in a bath well at ease.  Then Dacian seeing this began to assuage his ire, and to flatter him by fair words, and said to him:  George, the patience of our gods is over great unto thee which hast blasphemed them, and done to them great despite, then fair, and right sweet son, I pray thee that thou return to our law and make sacrifice to the idols, and leave thy folly, and I shall enhance thee to great honor and worship.  Then began St. George to smile, and said to him:  Wherefore saidst thou not to me thus at the beginning?  I am ready to do as thou sayest.  Then was Dacian glad and made to cry over all the town that all the people should assemble for to see George make sacrifice which so much had striven there against.  Then was the city arrayed and feast kept throughout all the town, and all came to the temple for to see him.

When St. George was on his knees, and they supposed that he would have worshipped the idols, he prayed our Lord God of heaven that he would destroy the temple and the idol in the honor of his name, for to make the people to be converted.  And anon the fire descended from heaven and burned the temple, and the idols, and their priests, and sith the earth opened and swallowed all the cinders and ashes that were left.  Then Dacian made him to be brought tofore him, and said to him:  What be the evil deeds that thou hast done, and also great untruth?  Then said to him St. George:  Ah, sir, believe it not, but come with me and see how I shall sacrifice.  Then said Dacian to him:  I see well thy fraud and thy barat, thou wilt make the earth to swallow me, like as thou hast the temple and my gods.  Then said St. George:  O caitiff, tell me how may thy gods help thee when they may not help themselves!  Then was Dacian so angry that he said to his wife:  I shall die for anger if I may not surmount and overcome this man.  Then said she to him:  Evil and cruel tyrant! ne seest thou not the great virtue of the Christian people?  I said to thee well that thou shouldst not do to them any harm, for their God fighteth for them, and know thou well that I will become Christian.  Then was Dacian much abashed and said to her:  Wilt thou be Christian?  Then he took her by the hair, and did do beat her cruelly.  Then demanded she of St. George:  What may I become because I am not christened?  Then answered the blessed George:  Doubt thee nothing, fair daughter, for thou shalt be baptized in thy blood.  Then began she to worship our Lord Jesu Christ, and so she died and went to heaven.  On the morn Dacian gave his sentence that St. George should be drawn through all the city, and after, his head should be
