I know that your bishop obtained the ministry,[*] which makes for the common good, neither from

himself nor through men, nor for vain-glory, but in the love of God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. And I was amazed at his gentleness, and at his ability to do more by silence than those who use vain words.
