Licet apud sacerdotes habentes Deo placitam caritatem religiosi viri nullius commendatione indigeant; quia tamen aptum scribendi se tempus ingessit, fraternitati vestrae nostra mittere scripta curavimus; insinuantes, latorem praesentium Augustinum servum Dei, de cuius certi sumus studio, cum aliis servis Dei, illic nos pro utilitate animarum, auxiliante Domino, direxisse: quem necesse est ut sacerdotali studio sanctitas vestra adiuvare, et sua ei solatia praebere festinet.
Though with such priests as haveth the love well pleasing unto God religious men needeth no mans commendation, yet because opportunity to write did serve, we thought it good to direct our letter to your brotherhood; advertising you that we have sent on this way the bearer hereof, Augustine, the servant of God, of whose zeal we are well assured, with other servants of God for the health of souls with the help of the Lord: whom it behoveth your holiness to help with the zeal that the order of priesthood requireth and be forward to furnish the comfort due unto him.
