25:1
Jubetis, et voti est, ut cultibus novis pariterque consuetis studiis geminae dedicationis occurram. Sed vereor ne nos hoc teneat, quod potestates diutius tenuistis. Orate tamen ut par desiderio succedat effectus. Nisi forte illam magis expensam numeras, quæ penu adhuc frigente animis tuis calet. Quocirca licet paucos rogasse te dicas, licet laxato aulico conventu, relevatum esse te gaudeas: si qua tamen mihi excurrendi copia fiet, vel invitos qui supervenerint invitabis. Providebit Deus epulas multitudini tibi convivæ. Ibi pauperum cibus, olei cado et farris hydr:a persistente, cumulabitur. Ibi si vel quinque panes fuerint, geminum piscem providisse sufficiat.
您吩咐，也是我所願的，就是我當出席這雙重奉獻禮中新設的與慣行的禮儀。但我擔心，那使諸權貴耽擱較久之事，或也會攔住我們。然而請祈禱，願所成就的能與所渴望的相稱。除非你把那筵席看得更為豐盛——那在你心中已然火熱、而食廚尚且冷清的筵席。因此，儘管你說你只邀了少數人，儘管你因朝廷聚會解散而慶幸得以輕鬆：然而我若得著任何抽身前來的機會，你連那些不速而至的人也要邀請。天主必為你眾多的賓客預備筵席。在那裡，窮人的食物必要堆積如山，油瓶與麵罈長存不匱。在那裡，即便只有五個餅，能備得兩條魚也就夠了。
You command, and it is my wish, that I attend both the new rites and the customary observances of a twofold dedication. But I fear that this may hold us back, which held the authorities longer. Yet pray that an effect equal to the desire may follow. Unless perhaps you reckon that feast the more costly which grows warm in your spirits while the larder is still cold. Wherefore, although you say you have asked but few, although you rejoice to be relieved by the loosening of the court-gathering, yet if any opportunity of hastening over comes to me, you will invite even the unwilling who happen to arrive. God will provide viands for the multitude of your guests. There the food of the poor shall be heaped up, the jar of oil and the pitcher of meal enduring. There, if there be even five loaves, let it suffice to have provided a pair of fish.
25:2
Illud autem fidus i ost haec miraculorum experimenta promitto, quod Christo pauperum suorum conventui minime defuturo, quanto plura populorum millia collegeris, plures cophinos reportabis. Apud filium nostrum vero qui, sicut scribitis, reconciliationem mutuam dignam ambire, vos estote vadimonio, quod si ille pacifico voto agere cupit, ego et amico: si ille discordiam poscit tolli, ego cupio concordiam confirmari. Tamen homo ordinis mei, quem nec falli nec fallere decet, crediturus catbolico senatori, non ad hoc solum securus incipiat fieri, ut incautus vaIcat inveniri.
至於這事，在這些神蹟的憑證之後，我滿懷信心地應許：既然基督斷不撇下祂窮人的聚集，你聚集的萬民越多，你收回的籃子也越多。至於我們那位兒子——正如您所寫的，他尋求彼此相稱的和好——請您作保：他若願以和平的心願行事，我也以友善的心相待；他若求消除紛爭，我也切願確立和睦。然而，像我這身分的人，既不當受欺，也不當欺人，將要信賴一位公教的元老，就不當單為此而變得安穩無備，以致被發現粗心失防。
And this, faithful after these proofs of miracles, I promise: that since Christ will by no means fail the gathering of His poor, the more thousands of peoples you shall have gathered, the more baskets you shall carry back. But with regard to our son who, as you write, seeks a worthy mutual reconciliation, be you the surety, that if he desires to act with a peaceful vow, I too act with a friendly one; if he demands that discord be removed, I desire that concord be confirmed. Yet a man of my order, whom it becomes neither to be deceived nor to deceive, about to trust a catholic senator, let him not begin to become secure merely for this, that he may end up being found incautious.
