2.  No one is so ignorant of Gregory as to have any unworthy suspicion of his giving an inexact account of the circumstances because he is fond of money.  We have not to go far to find a proof of his liberality.  What is left of the property of Cæsarius he gladly abandons to the Treasury, so that the property may be kept there, and the Treasurer may give answer to those who attack it and demand their proofs; for we are not adapted for such business.  Your excellency may be informed that, so long as it was possible, no one went away without getting what he wanted, and each one carried off what he demanded without any difficulty.  The consequence indeed was that a good many were sorry that they had not asked for more at first; and this made still more objectors, for with the example of the earlier successful applicants before them, one false claimant starts up after another.  I do then entreat your excellency to make a stand against all this and to come in, like some intervening stream, and solve the continuity of these troubles.  You know how best you will help matters, and need not wait to be instructed by me.  I am inexperienced in the affairs of this life, and cannot see my way out of our difficulties.  Of your great wisdom discover some means of help.  Be our counsellor.  Be our champion.
