I have sent you my writings against Eunomius.  Whether they are to be called child’s play, or something a little more serious, I leave you to judge.  So far as concerns yourself, I do not think you stand any longer in need of them; but I hope they will be no unworthy weapon against any perverse men with whom you may fall in.  I do not say this so much because I have confidence in the force of my treatise, as because I know well that you are a man likely to make a little go a long way.  If anything strikes you as weaker than it ought to be, pray have no hesitation in showing me the error.  The chief difference between a friend and a flatterer is this; the flatterer speaks to please, the friend will not leave out even what is disagreeable.
