Letter 3018: To what a height your friendship has raised me!
XVIII. EPISCOPO EVLALIO ENNODIVS.
Ad quantum me fastigium perduxerit donum spiritalis alloquii,
angustia testaretur, si sermone ualeret ambiri. ad quod
enarrandum idonea non est mentis exilitas nec sufficit oris
egestas. uos enim mei memores extitisse quid aliud computabo
quam peccata superari? memoria uestri omne quod
actuum obscenitas potuit ministrare iam depulit et per sudum
respicere supernum munus indulsit. domine mi, salutationis
obsequia decenter inpertiens deum rogo; ut cirea paruitatem
meam illa anima., ia. qua omne quod deus mandat exuberat,
dignationem pollicitam sine aliqua procuret inminutione seruare.
quam rem ex arbitrio mihi contingere frequentium declarate
testimonio litterarum.
