Most beloved brethren: Urged by necessity, I come to you today to deliver a call to action. I hope to find you as faithful and as eager in the service of God as I suppose you to be. For God has made you stewards over his family. Happy indeed will you be if he finds you faithful in your stewardship. Do not go to sleep, but guard on all sides the flock committed to you.
On this account I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ's messengers to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people of whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to remove that vile race from the lands of our friends.

O what a disgrace if such a despised and base race, which worships demons, should conquer a people which shares our faith in an all-powerful God! How shameful it will be if you do not aid those who, with us, declare their deep faith in the Christian religion!
Yet the true servant of God cannot be concerned only with his own flock. He must be concerned with the Christian faithful wherever they may be. I call on you now to apply the strength of your righteousness to a grave matter which concerns you as well as God
