I have never seen your nobility with my physical eyes, but with the eyes of love I see you better than anyone, since the intervening distance between us, no matter how great it is, does not in the least interfere with this kind of vision. My dear lord Livanius, having described to us the zeal of your nobility for the right faith and your zeal, greatly encouraged us. Despite the fact that we have never seen you, we are the first to address you with a letter to your reverence and ask you to also write to us when possible. Having received a letter from your regularity informing us about your health and the well-being of your entire home, we will extract from it, in the midst of a sad life on a foreign side, the greatest consolation for ourselves, because there is nothing dearer than love. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
