Epistle
XXVI.
To John, Bishop.
Gregory to John, &c.
Inasmuch as we have enjoined on our brother and
fellow-bishop Paulus the work of the visitation of the Neapolitan
church, therefore let not Fraternity shrink from assuming the
visitation of the Nepesine Church, to the end that, according to the
requirements of the Paschal festivity, whatever the solemnity of divine
service demands may, through thy operation, be in all respects
fulfilled. Until, then, we may be able to consider what should be
done with regard to our aforesaid brother and fellow-bishop, let thy
Fraternity strive to shew thyself so skilful and vigilant in all things
that the absence of the bishop aforesaid may not at all be
felt
