Exhortation to the people that they bring heave offerings of prayers and
confessions to God, and that they honour the Bishop as \they honour] God, and
reverence him, and that they do nothing apart from his permission, nor even
give alms to those that are in need without him ; but make everything known
to him by means of the Deacon, and he will administer whatever is given, and
that every one of the orders of the Church take its place and be honoured as
befits it ; condemnation and commination on those who speak zvickedly to
priests or despise them ; that they think of them as of their kings, that they
take them gifts from their labour for the supply of the need of the poor
and tJie orphans and the widoivs, making no reckoning with them, as to whether
they give or do not give.
