With your excellent zeal, your labors and efforts, you bring considerable glory to yourself and consolation to us. Therefore, despite our imprisonment in such a distance, we extol, thank, glorify and please you. We would also like to write to you more often, and we would derive great encouragement from it if we had the opportunity to forward our letters to you. Unfortunately, this is not easy when we live on the very outskirts of the universe, where no one is able to penetrate to us without much difficulty. Having now encountered the opportunity to write with my lord, the most honest and reverent presbyter, we bring you due greetings and earnestly ask your reverence not to lose sight of the high importance of the present matter and, although a lot of time has already been spent on it, although the painful stubbornness of the opponents is constantly increasing and cannot be cured, with all this, continue to contribute on your part to the correction of what has happened.
The greater the difficulties, the higher and more abundant your reward from the man-loving God for this good deed will be.
