偉哉斯人、宜稱至尊者之子、天主將錫以厥父大維之御座、永王雅谷伯之家、

正如意灑雅先知書之所記云：『吾遣使者、以先啟行；為爾前驅、備爾行程。』『曠野有人、揚聲而呼：為主清道、正直其途。』

王欲殺之、而懾於民情、有所不敢；以民眾莫不認如望、為先知也。

然則爾之出也、果何為乎？欲睹先知乎？吾曰是矣、然奚啻先知而已哉！經云：「我遣使者先汝行、為汝除道開汝路；」即斯人也。

先知意灑雅所言：『曠野有人、揚聲而呼；為主備道、正直其途；』即斯人也。

若謂自人、眾又可畏、蓋眾皆確認如望為先知也。』

隨葆樂後而呼曰：『是為至尊天主之僕、以拯救之道授爾眾。』

如望對曰：『予即先知意灑雅所言：「野中呼者之聲、告眾修直主道」者是。』

天神對曰：『聖神臨汝、至尊之德庇汝、因是所生聖者、應稱天主子。

惟愛爾仇人、以德報怨、貸則不望償、斯獲厚報、而得為至尊者之兒女矣。

『吾儕若曰自天、彼將問我何以不信；若曰自人、民又可畏、蓋眾皆以如望為先知也。』

善育之母。當推西溫。某也某也。皆彼所生。厥福之源。實惟至尊。

吾惟以水洗爾、用啟悔悟；然有後我者、威力遠超我上、吾雖為之執履、亦非所宜稱；彼將洗爾於聖神與靈火之中。

予非基督、乃奉使為其前驅者耳。此乃予所夙言、爾曹當可為予作證。

經云：「予遣使爾前、為爾備道、」即斯人也！予實語爾、婦女所生、未有大於如望者也。然天主國中之至小者、視彼猶大。

正如先知意灑雅書所云：「曠野有人、揚聲而呼：為主除道、正直其途；充填空谷、蕩夷山陵；曲者使直陂者使平。普天之下、血氣之倫、咸將親睹、天主救恩！」

於其未臨之前、如望先傳悔悟之洗禮於義塞全族、迨其使命將畢、如望恆曰：「爾等以吾為誰？實非基督；惟有後我來者、吾雖為之解履、猶愧未稱、」

吾雖為之釋履帶、亦非所稱也。』

將引義塞子孫群歸其所天之主、以伊理藹之風度神力為主前驅、必使為父者之心歸向兒女、而頑強之子服膺長者之智、為主作育心悅誠服之新民。』
