Letter CDXXXVIII. To the same on the same subject.

I commend to you the cause of the Bishop of Troyes, which his messenger, a man dear to me, has in charge: uphold it, for I believe it to be just. The man himself is a friend of my friends. Pray do not listen to any evil report against this Bishop; but assist his suit, and his messenger, as much as you can.

Augetis mihi gratiam, et gloriam multiplicatis, cum gratia mei, amici mei gratiam inveniunt in oculis vestris, quam multis jam de charo fecistis chariorem. Ego tamen gloriam ab homine non quaero, sed regnum Dei et justitiam ejus, quam puto esse cum domino Trecensi. Secure vobis utrumque cupio esse commendatum, et justum scilicet et amicum; non solum autem, sed et missum ab eo bonae indolis juvenem, charum nobis latorem praes. aeque vestrae commendo charitati
