CXXVI.

_In fores divo Petro sponte apertas._ Act. xii. 10.

Quid juvit clausisse fores, bone janitor, istas?

Et Petro claves jam liquet esse suas.

Dices, sponte patent: Petri ergo hoc scilicet ipsum

Est clavis, Petro clave quod haud opus est.

_The doors of the prison self-opening to Peter._

Good jailor, how is this,

These doors thou lockest here?

That Peter has the keys

'Tis now to all men clear.

Thou say'st the doors self-open,

And well thou sayest indeed;

For by this very token

He no other key doth need. G.
