qua de re propitio deo Christo ampliatos prosapiae tuae titulos ego festinus gratatoriis apicibus inscripsi, pariter absolvens sollicitudinem tuam, fratris pudorem; quem nil de propria dignitate indicaturum, si verecundum forte nescires, nec sic impium iudicares.
Hence I have lost no time in writing a letter of congratulation honouring the distinction which has, with the blessing of Christ our God, been added to your family honours. In doing so I have at the same time relieved both your anxiety and your brothers modesty'although even if you did not know how modest he is, you would not think it unbrotherly on his part to shrink from announcing his own dignity.
