Rouse ye, then, most excellent sirs, that the labours
you are about to undertake may not be unworthy of those which you have
already sustained, and that on a firm foundation you may be seen
putting a yet worthier finish. Rouse ye, that ye may stand round
about the shepherd of the Church, when the Lord grants him to be seen
on his own throne, telling each of you in his turn. some good deed done
for the sake of the Church of God. On the great day of the Lord,
each, according to the proportion of his labours, shall receive his
recompense from the munificent Lord. By remembering me and
writing to me as often as you can, you will be doing justice in sending
me a reply, and will moreover give me very great pleasure, by sending
me in writing a plain token of a voice which it is delightful to me to
hear.
