夫所當勸告於人者、一言以蔽之、亦曰以光明之心地、純潔之天良無妄之信德、存養愛德而已矣。

爾之行實、爾之堅苦忍耐、悉在吾洞鑒之中；亦知爾不肯優容惡人、凡冒充宗徒者、爾竟能嚴加審察、而揭其偽妄；且能忍辱負重、為吾之名、任勞任怨、曾無懈意、此可嘉也。第吾有不滿於爾者、以爾已無初愛之忱也。

為我兄弟恆謝天主、實為吾儕之天職也。夫以爾等信德之突飛猛進、及彼此間友愛精神之暢發、則吾儕之感謝天主、不亦宜乎。

吾知爾所處之地域、乃沙殫王位之所在也；而爾堅奉吾名、確乎不拔；即當吾之忠實證人安第巴被害於沙殫所寓之爾處時、爾之信德亦未被搖動。

爾之憂患、爾之窮乏、吾所知也。雖然、爾實貧而富者也！彼自名為義塞人而非義塞人、實屬沙殫之黨羽者、謗爾誣爾、吾亦知之。
