122. Those who once stood approved should not now
become overbearing, but rather, as mindful of the grace they have
received, stand firm in their humility. A priest ought not to be
offended if either cleric or attendant or any ecclesiastic should win
regard for himself, by showing mercy, or by fasting, or by uprightness
of life, or by teaching and reading. For the grace of the Church
is the praise of the teacher. It is a good thing that the work of
another should be praised, if only it be done without any desire to
boast. For each one should receive praise from the lips of his
neighbour, and not from his own mouth, and each one should be commended
by the work he has done, not merely by the wishes he had.
