61:1
Litteras sanctitatis tuae in Pascha quidem, sed non paschales accepi, nihil utique de caritate aut sollicitudine praeferentes; sed quibus jubebas ut fratrem et consacerdotem nostrum Candidianum, quem ego quasi peculiarem commendaveram, non solum ad clericorum, verum etiam c ad laicorum audien tiam destinarem, a quibus constat.diaconum ejus pro civili causa servili custodiac mancipatum. Et ideo, si censetis omnia de clericis vestris laicorum testimonio credenda, rescribite. Consequens erit ut dum saecularium notitiam ex omnibu quæ in rumorem veniunt consulamus, clericorum libertatem prodamus.
I received the letters of your Holiness at Easter indeed, but not paschal ones, displaying nothing at all of charity or of solicitude; but by them you were commanding that I consign our brother and fellow-priest Candidianus—whom I had commended as it were as my own—not only to the hearing of clerics, but even to that of laymen, by whom it is established that his deacon was handed over, for a civil case, to servile custody. And therefore, if you judge that all things concerning your clerics are to be believed on the testimony of laymen, write back. It will follow that, while we consult the knowledge of secular men on all things that come into rumor, we betray the liberty of the clergy.
您聖潔之尊的書信，我確實是在復活節收到的，卻不是應節的信，其中絲毫不見仁愛或關懷；反倒藉這信，您吩咐我把我們的弟兄、同為司鐸的甘迪迪亞努斯——我曾如同自己人一般舉薦他——不僅交付給教士的審斷，甚至交付給俗人的審斷；而眾所周知，他的執事正是被這些俗人為著一樁民事案件，交去受奴隸般的看管。因此，您若認為凡與您教士有關之事都當憑俗人的見證來相信，就請回信。這樣勢必導致：我們在凡傳為風聲之事上都去請教俗人的見識，反倒出賣了教士的自由。
61:2
Illud tamen quasi amor tuus suggercre ac monere praesumo, a ne propter leves causas, et non ad Deum, sed ad saeculum pertinentes, ne laici quidem, non dicam clerici, sancta communione priventur: quia nescit cujus dignitatis sit ipsa communio, qui non eam, omni animositate seposita, et cum magno dolore suspendit, et cum maxima festinatione restituit.
Yet this, as it were out of your love, I presume to suggest and to admonish: that on account of trivial causes, and such as pertain not to God but to the world, not even laymen—not to say clerics—should be deprived of holy communion; for he knows not of what dignity communion itself is, who does not, all animosity being laid aside, both suspend it with great sorrow and restore it with the greatest haste.
然而這一點，我斗膽如出於您的愛心一般，加以提示與勸戒：不要為了瑣碎的緣由，且是不關乎神、只關乎世俗的事，就連俗人——更不用說教士——都被剝奪聖餐；因為那不曾撇開一切怨憤、以極大憂傷懸置聖餐、又以極大迅速恢復聖餐的人，並不曉得這聖餐本身有何等的尊貴。
