Chapter XIV.—Farewells and cautions.
Let your prayers be extended to the Church of Antioch, whence also I as a prisoner am
being led to Rome. I salute the holy bishop Polycarp; I salute the holy bishop Vitalius, and
the sacred presbytery, and my fellow-servants the deacons; in whose stead may my soul be
found. Once more I bid farewell to the bishop, and to the presbyters in the Lord. If any one
celebrates the passover along with the Jews, or receives the emblems of their feast, he is a
partaker with those that killed the Lord and His apostles.
