務望將予所授聖道之真傳、奉為圭臬；恆以信德愛德、仰體耶穌基督之心；且依恃寓於吾人懷中之聖神、守此至寶、莫使被劫也。

汝能以此種種、昭示兄弟、同時涵泳教義、深味聖訓、日漸月漬、毋忘向之所學、則可謂基督耶穌之忠僕矣。

振作精神、為道奮鬥、把握永生、無忝汝之聖召、無負汝曩日當眾發表之弘願。

予之所以留汝於革雷底者、欲汝將未了之事、部署停當、並遵吾所囑、為各邑設置長老。其人選務求品格純粹、無瑕可指、一婦之夫、兒女奉主、無蕩檢不馴之稱。蓋司牧乃天主之家宰、是宜無懈可擊、毋剛愎自用、毋暴氣動怒。凡嗜酒毆人、貪婪財貨、皆非所宜。必須款接遠人、以善為樂、莊敬自持、公明聖潔、克己有節、篤踐所傳之道、庶能導人於正義、而塞反對者悠悠之口。

惟吾兒素承吾之教誨、對於吾之行實、吾之志向、吾之信德、吾之刻苦、吾之愛德、

吾兒蒂茂德乎、我剴切誡汝、一遵當日為汝而發之預言、努力作戰、以達勝利。

夫人忠於小事、亦必忠於大事、不義於小事、亦必不義於大事。爾若處理虛夸之財富、猶不能盡忠、誰復託爾以真富耶？處理他人之事、猶不克盡職、誰復授爾以切身之事耶？

主曰：『以爾度之、孰為忠敏之家宰、主可賦予職權、督理眾役、而能按時授糧者？

夫世之所求於司庫者、亦惟忠信而已矣。

竊思基督耶穌以吾為忠實之徒、令供斯役、且予我以扶植、賜我以神力；此恩此德、昊天罔極。

惟望吾兒、篤守所學、毋負所託、應念所師承者為何如之人、

惟願求賢良。與我共國事。簡拔忠實徒。充我心腹吏。

為主之僕、豈宜耳紅面赤、與人爭論；惟當和氣迎人、循循善誘、寬裕溫柔、足以有容。即欲規人之過、亦須平心靜氣、委宛言之、庶幾天主啟牖其衷、俾得領悟大道、

曩於諸長老行覆手禮時、汝藉豫言而承受之恩寵、尚在汝之心中；

爾今後尚將遭受苦難；望爾毋餒。爾其識之。惡魔將投爾中若干人於獄；此所以予爾以磨練耳。且爾將受難十日、望爾忠貞至死、吾當加爾以生命之榮冠。願凡有耳者、諦聽聖神對諸教會之訓示：凡百折不撓、終克致勝者、則二次之死無得而害之。爾其寓書於伯爾加莫教會之守護天神曰：彼具有雙刃利劍者、有所曉諭於爾：吾知爾所處之地域、乃沙殫王位之所在也；而爾堅奉吾名、確乎不拔；即當吾之忠實證人安第巴被害於沙殫所寓之爾處時、爾之信德亦未被搖動。

從伊伯弗拉之教、確已領會天主之洪恩。伊伯弗拉、我親愛之同寅、而基督之忠僕也。

是故為司牧者、其立身處世務期無疵可摘、平生未重娶、莊敬自持、循規蹈矩、處事有條不紊、待人和藹可親、優遇遠人、循循善誘；不可沉湎於酒、舉止暴躁；務須溫柔寬裕、與世無爭、不戀財物、尤宜齊家有道、教子有方、使其端正孝順；蓋不能自齊其家者、焉能治理天主之教會乎？奉教不久者、亦不宜遽充司牧；恐其妄自尊大、而蹈沙殫之覆轍。且在教外、亦須具有相當聲譽；恐遭輕侮、而陷於魔鬼之羅網。為副祭者、亦須莊重自愛、弗可一口兩舌、飲酒無度、貪婪不義之財；務以光明正大之心、守持聖教之真諦妙理；

耶穌曰：『是故士子而熟諳天國之理者、譬諸一家之主、庫中取物、新舊兼備。』

耶穌之盡忠於天主、猶摩西之盡忠於天主之第宅；而耶穌之貴於摩西亦猶建造第宅者之貴於第宅。

茲特先行戒爾、

因此、彼不得不與眾兄弟儘量同化、俾在天主臺前、得充一忠心耿耿、富於同情之大司祭且為萬民之罪、而自獻為消怒之犧牲。

覆手之禮、不可輕率行之、庶免同承其咎。務須守身如玉、涅而不緇。
