Pro quibus maiestati eius gratias indesinenter exsolvimus, eumque votis supplicibus exoramus, ut vestram dilectionem in praedicatione Evangelii laborantem et fructificantem, sectantemque magistri et capitis sui sancti Gregorii regulam, perpeti stabilitate confirmet, et ad augmentum Ecclesiae suae potiora per vos suscitet incrementa; ut fide et opere, in timore Dei et caritate, vestra adquisitio decessorumque vestrorum quae per domini Gregorii exordia pullulat, convalescendo amplius extendatur; ut ipsa vos dominici eloquii promissa in futuro respiciant, vosque vox ista ad aeternam festivitatem evocet: Venite ad me omnes qui laboratis et onerati estis, et ego reficiam vos.
For which benefit we render thanks unceasingly unto His majesty, and beseech Him with prayers of supplication that He may strengthen your love to endure steadfastly in labouring and gathering fruit in the preaching of the Gospel, and in following the rule of your head and master, holy Gregory, and that He may raise greater increase by you unto the growth of the Church; that the gain which you and your predecessors have won (which springeth out of the first planting of our lord Gregory) may more abundantly be spread by becoming strong through faith and work in the fear of God and in charity; that the very promises uttered by our Lord may hereafter have regard unto you and that that voice of His may call you forth to eternal joyfulness: Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will refresh you.
