6:1
Ea quæ in beati Job expositione dicta fuerant, et vobis dirigenda scribitis, nisi portitoris præsentium me festinatio coangustasset, cuncta vobis transmittere sine aliqua imminutione voluissem; maxime quia et hoc ipsum opus ad vestram reverentiam scripsi; ut ei quem prae cæteris diligo, in meo judicer labore desudasse. Præterea si vobis indulgeri tempora ab ecclesiastica occupatione cognoscetis, quid sit jam faciendum scitis; quamvis etiam absentem corpore, præsentem mihi te semper intueor, quia vultus tui imaginem intra cordis viscera impressam porto.
Those things which had been said in the exposition of blessed Job, and which you write are to be sent to you, I would have wished to transmit all of them to you without any diminution, had not the haste of the bearer of the present letter constrained me; especially because I wrote this very work for your reverence, that I might be judged to have toiled in my labor for him whom I love before others. Moreover, if you learn that times are granted to you free from ecclesiastical occupation, you know what is now to be done; although even absent in body I behold you ever present to me, because I carry the image of your countenance impressed within the depths of my heart.
那些在講解真福約伯時所說、而你來信囑咐要寄給你的，若非送信人的匆忙催逼了我，我本願毫無刪減地全部寄給你；尤其因為我正是為你的可敬而寫下這部著作，好使我被判為在我的勞苦中為我所最珍愛之人辛勞流汗。此外，若你得知有空閒於教會職務的時間獲准給你，你就知道如今當做什麼；雖然你身體雖不在場，我卻常見你臨在我面前，因為我把你容貌的形像銘刻於我心腑的深處而隨身攜帶。
