ation having been completed, St. Peter returned to the
fisherman, quieted his alarm at what had passed, and announced
himself as the apostle. He directed the fisherman to go as soon as
it was day to the authorities, to state what he had seen and heard,
and to inform them that, in corroboration of his testimony, they
would find the marks of consecration on the walls of the church. In
obedience to the apostle's direction, the fisherman waited on
Mellitus, Bishop of London, who, going to the church, found not
only marks of the chrism, but of the tapers with which the church
had been illuminated. Mellitus, therefore, desisted from
proceeding to a new consecration, and contented himself with the
celebration of the mass."--DUGDALE, _Monasticon Anglicanum_
