人生在世、猶如幻影、營謀皆是枉然、積蓄不知誰取、主歟、如今我何所指望、我所仰望者惟主、

我日月已逝、我計謀已絕、我心之所慕己俱無有、彼以夜為晝、雖有幽暗、仍言光明將近、我若所望無他、惟以示阿勒示阿勒見七章九節小註為我之宅、下榻於幽暗中、我若稱墓為父、稱蟲為母為姊、則我所冀者安在、所望者孰將見之哉、

惟願全能之天主、賜爾獲恩於其人前、遣爾兄與便雅憫歸、我若喪子、則亦已矣、

兄弟、我不欲爾不知、我在亞西亞遭難、被迫特甚、勢不可當、致絕保生命之望、自擬必死、致我不恃己、惟恃使死者復活之天主、天主曾救我脫如此之危亡、今仍救我、且望其嗣後復救我、

免爾中有人因此諸患難搖動、蓋爾自知我儕分定應守患難、我儕偕爾時、預言我儕必將受難、後果如是、此爾所知也、

我儕信基督、若惟在今生有望、則於眾人之中、我儕最苦、
