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。

吾儕因是愈益確信先知之言、爾等於此亦宜三致意焉。蓋先知之言、猶黑夜之明燈、所以待旭日之東升、與晨星之興於爾心也。惟於此首應注意者、乃經中預言、無一能憑私智而解釋也。蓋歷來豫言、本非出人私智、乃古人感於聖神、而為天主之舌人耳。

是即歷來先知所潛心探索而預言者、爾等則親沾其澤矣。蓋基督神靈、啟迪先知之衷、故彼等能逆知基督之先苦後樂、與夫其事之成於何時何世。彼等且逆知其所預言諸事、非為本身、乃為爾等。凡此奧義、即眾天神亦渴欲一窺、而爾曹則因布道者憑天主所遣聖神之靈感、而得諦聽矣

爾等窮索諸經、意欲藉獲永生、第諸經莫非為予作證、

以種種邪法、熒惑自求淪喪之徒。所謂自求淪喪之徒者、即不知愛慕真理、以望得救者耳。

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。

莫忘幼承慈訓、素諳經籍。凡經籍所載、莫非令人醒悟、信仰基督耶穌、以自求多福耳。全部聖經、皆天主之所默啟、有益於人、其所以覺世牖民、警惡勸善、導人於正者、亦云備矣。是在天主之徒奮發自勵、孳孳為善、以臻才德全備之地耳。

遵行宏範。智邁父執。

侵更歷夜。永懷德音。

耶穌又謂諸徒曰：『曩日與爾同處、予曾明言、摩西律先知書與聖詠中所載予事、悉當應驗。』

惟播於佳壤者、乃聞道而悟、誠篤結實、所獲或百倍、或六十倍、或三十倍。』

我愛玉律。吟味終日。

避彼輕慢徒。不屑與同席。優游聖道中。涵泳徹朝夕。譬如溪畔樹。及時結嘉實。歲寒葉不枯。條鬯靡有極。

至踐履真道者、自與真光相親、所以彰其所行悉與天主相契合也。』

是故爾宜滌瑕盪穢、徹私去蔽、以謙誠溫和之意、領受其所植於爾心田之聖道。惟斯道能全爾靈。

宗徒與猶太全境兄弟、咸聞異邦人亦已領受天主之道；

因即發人邀汝；汝來甚善、今吾儕悉在上主前、顧聞主所諭汝者。』

當如新生之嬰、一心愛慕純粹乳汁、日漸月漬、涵養心靈、以邀救恩。

多有納其言而受洗者、一日之內、歸化者約三千人、

葆樂、西拉經安斐玻里、亞波羅尼而抵德颯洛尼。

斐理伯遇納大那、告之曰：『摩西書及諸先知所預言者、我儕今已遇之、即若瑟之子、納匝勒人耶穌是已。』納大那曰：『納匝勒焉有良產？』斐理伯曰：『盍來一觀。』耶穌見納大那來訪、指之曰：『此誠義塞人、心無詭譎者！』納大那曰：『汝何由知我？』耶穌曰：『斐理伯未招汝、汝憩於鳳果樹下時、予已見汝、』納大那曰：『辣卞誠天主之子、義塞之君也。』

若輩屬於世俗、故其所言不外世俗之事、而世俗亦惟彼是聽。吾人則屬於天主、惟識天主者樂聽吾言。凡不屬天主者、則不我聽也。靈感之真偽正邪、可以由是而辨矣。

亞伯漢曰：「若輩自有摩西及先知、可資遵循。」
