At si forte itidem, quod legi et quod sequor, audis, corda pio vovisse deo venerabile Christi imperium docili pro credulitate sequentem, persuasumque dei monitis aeterna parari praemia mortali damnis praesentibus empta, non reor id sancto sic displicuisse parenti, mentis ut errorem credat sic vivere Christo, ut Christus sanxit
But if perchance thou dost likewise hear'and tis what I have chosen and what I pursue'that I have vowed my heart to our holy God, following in accord with obedient belief the awful behest of Christ, and that I am convinced by Gods word that deathless rewards are laid up for man, purchased by present loss, that, methinks, has not so displeased my revered father that he thinks it a perversion of the mind so to live for Christ as Christ appointed.
