Hoc est enim vere lucem esse in Domino, qui veritas est, discutere vanitatum et mendaciorum tenebras, neque pati, ut tenebrae ipsae lucem comprehendant.

Conatus isti adversariorum meorum crassissimae sunt tenebrae, quae veritatis [lucem], lucem libertatum ecclesiasticarum, lucem iurisdictionis nostrae offuscare nituntur, et extendere se deinde volunt super universam faciem abyssi. Hic si Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima veram se vult lucem, ut debet, ostendere, roget Dominum illum, qui habitat lucem inaccessibilem, ut dicat: Fiat lux, cuius iussu olim facta est lux.
