An angry tide of rioters rolled on- wards to S. Marco, and attacked the Church and Convent. For some time the monks stood on their defence, when orders came from the Signory that Savonarola should surrender himself to their custody. Expresses were sent off" to |lome to announce his capture. A commission of inquiry was instituted in which were two delegates from the Vatican, several Franciscans, two priests, the Vicar of the Archbishop, and the Vicar of the Bishop of Florence. Before this tribun...al, Savonarola and two of his disciples were put to the question. Under terror of torture he was required to confess himself a false prophet. But threats were in vain. He reiterated all he h^d said, affirming it to be the truth of God. Then his hands being bound behind him, he was drawn up by a cord which was suddenly loosened, so that he fell with a jerk which wi-enched his limbs, without his touching the ground. His physical constitution was extremely sen- sitive to pain. In the anguish of the rack he uttered half sentences which were wrested from their connexion and paraded as confessions.
