Letter CDXXXVIII. To the Same, for the Same Purpose

Letter CDXXXVII in Eales's numbering.

You heap favours upon me and increase my glory, when my friends for my sake find favour in your eyes; and the greater their number, the more must I think of your affection for me. Yet I seek not glory from man; but desire the Kingdom of God and His righteousness; and I think this is the case with the Bishop of Troyes also. With confidence therefore do I desire to recommend him to you under either character, that of a good man and of my friend. I would recommend to your Charity not him only, but also the bearer of this letter, who is sent by him: a young man of good disposition and dear to me.
