Again, a little of the Canons of the Apostles, and the Fathers, by which the Church of the Christ is truly bound. To those who in everything agree with us in the Orthodox faith, and in the Apostolic laws ; the holy Bishops, the glorious Priests, the pure Deacons ; and the faithful and Christ-loving people, with the rest of all the ecclesiastical order, and the sons of the Lord ; who live, that is to say, dwell as strangers in all the various provinces, keeping (themselves) continually in the Lord, Amen... Because, therefore, O beloved, we are sons and heirs of the laws, prophetical and apostolic, those which command and warn us that continually and always we shall learn the way which is straight and good, and that we should go in it ; we have appointed to you twenty Canons, and they are these.
