而爾等則為蒙選之族、赫赫司祭、雍雍神國實天主之眷屬也。天主既召爾等出於黑暗入於靈光、爾等可不表彰大德乎。爾等昔日不成民族、今乃成為天主之民矣；昔日未蒙矜憐、今則已蒙矜憐矣。親愛之同道乎、人生在世、猶如作客他鄉、務望自愛、切弗縱情恣慾、以戕賊心靈。爾等與異邦人雜處、尤宜慎自檢點、勉立善表、務使謗爾者見爾善行、而頌揚天主於眷顧之日。爾等應為天主之故、順服在位執權之人。君王乃人間元首、固無論焉；

尤須寧靜澹泊、安分守己、躬自操作、悉如吾訓。

人人皆有服從官長之義務。蓋一切權位、莫不淵源天主、而在位者、乃受命於天主者也。由是以觀、犯上作亂即違抗天主之命。為此而欲倖免、不可得矣。夫官長之可懼、惟於犯罪作惡者為然。苟能守分安己、亦何懼之有？爾願不惴其權威乎？則宜行善。如此彼將賞爾之不暇、奚遑加爾以刑哉！總之、彼乃天主之臣僕、助爾為善者也。爾若為非作惡、斯誠可畏；蓋彼之佩劍、非徒然也。彼乃天主之有司、所以加威於作惡者之身、而持天下之平。故吾人不可不服從官長；不第畏刑、亦為良心之故耳。因是亦不可不輸稅；蓋彼既為天主之有司、課稅亦為其所掌也。吾人處世、務求無虧於人；理當向誰納稅則納之；理當向誰輸餉則輸之；理當向誰寅畏則畏之；理當向誰致敬則敬之。

處世以和平為本、亦惟盡其在我、任其在他而已矣。

毋私取、披心相付、忠於所事；此正所以顯揚我等救主天主之聖道、於日用之間也。蓋天主普救之恩、已昌明於世、廣被有眾。吾人既受其教、自應痛絕邪妄之人欲。立身處世、寧靜淡泊、孳孳為善、翼翼事主、翹足企首、仰望真福、與夫大主宰及吾救主耶穌基督之光臨。基督為吾人自舍其身、正欲拯贖吾人、脫免一切罪惡、加以洗滌、俾得充其子民、發憤為善云耳。

時都中有寅恪之士、名西默翁、平生殷望義塞之慰藉聖神恆與之偕、

祈主相王。迪以聖謨。教彼王子。大公廓如。

對曰：『巴總高乃流、正人也、敬畏上主、為猶太舉國之所稱道、近蒙聖天神指示、邀汝至其家、俾聆汝教。』

吾人仰賴耶穌之神德、得認識以其大榮大德而恩召吾人之天主。於是凡關於立身處世、敬事天主所需之一切、乃應有而盡有矣。賴斯大榮大德、吾人復受有無上無疆之恩諾、俾吾人脫世俗縱情恣慾之腐敗惡習、得躋於神化之境、而融於天主之性。因是望爾等發憤自勉、精益求精；既有信心、加以德行；既有德行、加以明達；既有明達、加以克治；既能克治；加以堅忍；既有堅忍、加以虔誠；既有虔誠、加以友愛；既有友愛、冠之以仁。

二人居仁由義、昭事天主、遵行誡命、靡有愆忒、

予之所以發奮自勉、務求心地光明、對主對人、無所愧怍者、正為此耳。

處世務求和平、立身務求聖潔；未有捨此而得見主者也。

最後尚有一言、以奉兄弟：凡屬真實無妄、溫雅有度、公正高尚、可愛可喜、可歌可泣之事、苟有一德之美、片善之著、皆爾所當盡心也。
