My lord Ibas likewise consented, and my lord Aquilinus, against whom the inventors of the new heresy have armed the power of the emperors. A It remains that you, with the most holy men, should bring help to the most holy Church, and remove the impious wars which were impending. Restrain, therefore, the sacrilegious sect which has been stirred up against piety; and restore to the Churches their pristine peace, that you may receive from the Lord the fruits of apostolic labors, He who has promised in return that He will render the same fruits. B I salute all the most religious and God-loving presbyters, and the reverend deacons and brothers, through your holiness; and we, and all who are with us, salute your holiness.
