Letter CCCLXVII. To the Chancellor G

(Circa A.D. 1147.)

Bernard recommends to him the Bishop of Metz.1

Your predecessor, the Chancellor Haimeric of good memory, held the Lord Bishop of Metz2 in special affection; and as often as he sent messengers to Rome received them with great kindness and assisted them as much as he could. Wherefore I beg you to be so kind as to walk in his footsteps, and to assist with the arms of the Church that noble Bishop, who is placed in a position of great difficulty.
