qua industria viri ac temperantia inspecta ad reliquorum quoque censui pertinere informationem, si vel summotenus vita ceteris talis publicaretur, ad quam sequendam praeter habitum, quo interim praesenti saeculo imponitur, omnes nostra professionis homines utilissime incitarentur, quia, quod pace ordinis mei dixerim, si tantum bona singula in singulis erunt, plus ego admiror sacerdotalem virum quam sacerdotem.
After examining this mans assiduity and moderation, I thought it would be conducive to the instruction of everyone else if such a life were proclaimed to the skies for everyone, in order that all men of my profession might, to their great benefit, be incited to follow it, not contenting themselves with the mere garb of a cleric, which sometimes serves to impose upon the present generation; for'be it said with all respect to my order'if each individual man must have just one single merit, I feel bound to admire a priest-like man more than a man in the priesthood.
