方今已有數子、按據當初親炙聖道、宣述宏化者之所口授、

蓋多有舉筆作傳、陳述我中已成之事、

蓋有多人、以我中足徵之事、筆之於書、

蓋有多人專著書、以述我儕中深信深信或作所成之事、

德和斐樂、予於前編已縷述耶穌平生行誼嘉言、洎乎其昇天之日是日也、耶穌既憑聖神、遺言於其手選之宗徒、乃昇於天。蓋自其受難以後、其復活之證、不一而足、現形於其徒者凡四十日、為之闡述天主之國。

惟書此數事、庶幾爾等篤信耶穌即是基督、天主聖子。爾等既能篤信、必得仰賴厥名以獲永生。

蓋吾儕所宣揚吾主耶穌基督之神德及其重臨、非據玄思妙構之稗乘、乃憑親炙目睹之威靈也。方其受天主聖父之尊榮也、有音發自赫赫天君、臨於其身曰：『斯吾愛子、慰悅吾心。』此音乃吾儕與彼同遊聖山時、親耳所聞、發自天上者也。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。

嗚呼、聖道之玄妙、不亦浩浩其天、淵淵其淵乎哉！所謂玄妙者無他、即現於肉身、證於聖神、見於天神、傳於兆民、信於普世、而躋於光榮者也。

當時惟主佑我、充我以大無畏精神、俾我猶克從容布道於異邦人、且竟能安然脫出獅口。
