Few are found faithful, now that charity is growing cold: and since every thing that is dear and costly is precious, the love and fidelity of the Lord N., who has conducted most faithfully your business among us, ought to be bound to you by the strongest bonds of favour and kindness. Let it be a reason in his favour also, that I love him as a man learned, faithful, and spiritually minded.
Oportet vos esse amicum amicorum nostrorum, et fratri N. assistere in causa quam portat, cum ea tamen discretione, ut clerici proprio pastori, si fieri potest, subdantur, et quod ipsi in sua justitia non graventur, et de caetero inter eos pax sit.
