I have been driven to use these expressions by the
urgency of my defence, that you may be taught to cast the beam out of
your own eyes before you try to remove other men’s motes.
Nevertheless, I am conceding all, although there is nothing that is not
searched into before God. Only let great matters prevail, and do
not allow innovations in the faith to make themselves heard. Do
not disregard the hypostases. Do not deny the name of
Christ. Do not put a wrong meaning on the words of Gregory.
If you do so, as long as I breathe and have the power of utterance, I
cannot keep silence, when I see souls being thus
destroyed.
