蓋吾人之所為堅苦奮鬥者、正為此耳。應知吾人所屬望者、乃一有生無死之天主、萬人之救主、而尤與信徒相親者也、

爾當猶憶昔為外教人時、如何溺於習俗、惑於無靈之偶像。

然曩日爾未識天主、猶為偽神所奴；今爾已識天主、抑且為天主所識矣、何又返於支離瑣碎之蒙學、抱殘守缺、而甘為之奴乎？

且爾等一聞吾儕口授之天主福音、不以其為世俗之教、乃審知其實為天主聖道、而欣然納之。故聖道亦緣爾之篤信、而運其妙工於爾身；此尤吾儕之所引以為慰、而感謝天主不能自已者也。

兄弟乎、曩者吾儕之詣爾處、實不為徒勞；此固爾等之所知也。

『諸君、胡為出此、吾亦猶人、稟性與爾無異；傳爾福音、正欲使爾棄絕此等荒謬之事、而歸心於手創天地瀛海萬有之天主。

天主之殿與人造之像、不能相親。蓋吾人固永生天主之聖殿也。天主不云乎：『吾欲寓於其中、吾欲為彼等之天主、而彼等則吾之子民也。』是故主囑爾等獨立特行、毅然離眾、而自成一群。『毋染一塵、吾必納爾。

予心之戀主兮。如麋鹿之戀清泉。

予之拔汝於眾民萬邦者、欲汝啟眾民萬邦之目、使自黑暗轉向光明、脫沙殫之掌握而歸依天主、俾以信予之故、而獲罪赦、與一切因信成聖者同嗣洪基。」

萬有主宰。爾宮可愛。

具徵吾儕之授爾以福音、不僅以言、且以神力與聖神、實事求是、廓然不疑。吾儕向在爾中服務、爾等固知其為何如人也。而爾等不計危難、毅然服膺聖道、且受聖神之靈感、而怡然自樂；是則爾等不惟以吾儕為則、直以主為法矣。

又曰：『昔者但聞爾非吾民者、異日將稱為永生天主之子女矣。』

與世間百王行淫、而使舉世之人沈湎於其淫亂之酒者也。」

爾今所遊者、乃西溫山也、永生天主之城府也、天上之耶路撒冷也、無數天神之所集也、
