537:1
Gregorius Venantio episcopo Lunensi. Quæ sit Adeodatæ ancillæ Dei latricis praesentiwn adversus Fidentiam matiem suam querimonia, ex pagina petitionis oblatæ quæ tenetur in subditis fraternitas vestra cognoscet. Et quoniam æquitatis censura admonet ut maximum conversis salva ratione episcopale debeat adesse solatium, idcirco his fraternitatem vestram epistolis adhortamur, ut prædictam matrem ipsius ad se faciat evocari, et tranquilla ci adhortatione suadea', ut facere sponte non desinat, ad quod legali potest ratione compelli, * quatenus nec illa affligi, nec h;rc videatur præjudicium sustinere.
額我略致盧尼主教文南修。天主的婢女、亦即本函持有人亞德奧達達，控告她母親斐登西亞的申訴內容為何，你的弟兄慈愛可從所呈遞的請願書頁——載於下文——得知。既然公道的判斷提醒說，在保全理由的前提下，主教最大的扶助理當臨到那歸依之人，所以我們藉此函勸勉你的弟兄慈愛，使該母親被傳喚到你面前，並以平和的勸告說服她：她自願去做的，不該停止——那本是可憑法律之理由強制她去做的——好使一方不致受苦，另一方也不致看似蒙受不利。
Gregory to Venantius bishop of Luni. What is the complaint of Adeodata, the handmaid of God and bearer of the present letter, against Fidentia her mother, your fraternity will learn from the page of the petition presented, which is contained below. And since the judgment of equity admonishes that the greatest episcopal support ought, with reason preserved, to be present to the converted, therefore we exhort your fraternity by this letter to have the said mother summoned before her, and by tranquil exhortation to persuade her that she should not cease to do of her own accord that to which she can by legal reason be compelled—so that neither may the one be afflicted, nor the other seem to sustain prejudice.
537:2
Quae si, quod non cremus, admonitionem vestram differe voluerit, prædictæ Adeodatæ religiosæ contra eam tuitionem impendite, atque vesiris eam solatiis apud jndicem, vcl quocunque usus exegerit, instantius adjuvate. ET ita in exsequendam vos hanc caus am impendite, ut, legali ratione constricta, invita urgeatur facere quod sponte postponit. Memoratam vero latricem fraternitas vestra ita servata aequitate habeat in omnibus commendatam, ut vobis ei tuitionem impendentibus, in eo quem assumpsit babitu, sine aliqua, Dco protegente, coucussione permaneat.
但倘若她——我們不相信如此——竟想延宕你的告誡，就請向所述的敬虔婦人亞德奧達達提供保護以對抗她，並以你的慰助在法官面前、或凡有需要之處，更加堅定地援助她。並請你們如此致力於這案件的推進，好使她受法律之理由的約束，違其所願地被催逼去做她自願所拖延之事。至於所述的持函人，願你的弟兄慈愛在保全公道的前提下，於一切事上將她視為受託之人，好使有你們向她提供保護，她能——賴天主保護——在她所已披上的會服中，毫無動搖地存留。
But if she—which we do not believe—should wish to defer your admonition, extend to the said Adeodata, the religious woman, protection against her, and by your comforts assist her more insistently before the judge, or wherever the need shall require. And so devote yourselves to prosecuting this case that, constrained by legal reason, she may against her will be urged to do what of her own accord she puts off. But let your fraternity, with equity preserved, hold the said bearer commended in all things, so that, with you extending protection to her, she may—God protecting her—remain without any disturbance in the habit which she has taken up.
