孰能間吾人於基督之愛乎？將貧賤憂戚、飢寒困窮乎？抑災患艱危、白刃窘迫乎？詩云：『正惟為主故、吾人日見殺；一如屠家羊默默待宰割。』雖然、賴愛我者之大力、吾人已戰勝一切災害、且綽綽乎有餘裕矣。蓋吾深信無論死也、生也、天神也、權威也、現在之事也、未來之事也、宇宙間之一切勢力也、浩浩之天、淵淵之淵、以及其他一切受造之物也、皆不能使吾人與天主之愛、須臾相離。是愛也、實存乎吾主耶穌基督之身。

不克、從此天上不復有若輩立足之地。於是巨龍下墜；巨龍者、即古時、之蛇、名曰妖魔、沙殫、熒惑全世者是；彼與其天神、俱被逐至地。

故吾人雖四面受迫而未陷絕境也；雖進退維谷、而未淪末路也；備受窘逐、而未為天主所棄也；飽嘗磨折、而未見消滅也；

依主之人。安如西溫。確乎不拔。終古長存。

予以此語爾、俾爾因予而得平安。爾在人世、固有患難、惟勿因是而餒、予已克勝人世矣。』

萬民洶洶。勢如燎火。我恃主名。克消厥禍。

傷心承溫燠。哀慟見矜恤。
