Oye, hijo mío el más pequeño, ten entendído que son muchos mis servidores y mensajeros, a quienes puedo encargar que lleven mi mensaje y hagan mi voluntad; pero es de todo punto preciso que tú mismo solicites y ayudes y que con tu mediación se cumpla m voluntad. Mucho te ruego, hijo mío el más pequeño, y con rigor te mando, que otra vez vayas mañana a ver al obispo.
