我欲與爾言、恐爾厭聞、然不得不言、

“人若想与你说话，你就厌烦吗？但谁能忍住不说呢？

若敢與爾言、恐爾厭煩、然誰能含忍不語乎、

有懷欲吐、中心迫切、如酒在新革囊、氣沖欲裂。我言則氣可舒矣、是必暢所欲言。

蓋我儕所見聞者、不得不言也、

如我言不藉爾名、而言斯事、則我中心如焚、爍於骨髓、不復能忍。

昔我哀痛迫切、不勝流涕、以書達爾、非欲令爾憂、乃使爾知吾愛汝甚也、倘有人使我憂、則不第使我憂、亦略使爾眾憂、其人我不深責、會眾罰之已足、

故我忿怒盈懷、不能復忍、必降災於逵衢之孩提、結黨之壯士、夫妻耆老、俱被俘囚。

始遺書使爾憂、向亦悔之、而無庸悔也、誠以此書、憂爾者暫耳、今吾喜、非因爾憂、乃因爾憂而生悔改、蓋爾憂、遵上帝道而憂、明我不虧爾、夫遵上帝道而憂者、其悔改無後悔、而得救、從世俗而憂者、致人於死、
