Quote from Letter 7,12 to Respecta, abbes of Marseilles in Gaul. October 596
(B)e keen to show yourself in earnest to be all the more concerned for the management and protection of your community, so that the malice of the evil enemy may find nothing there which could be defiled. Therefore, we consider that everything detailed in the text of this injunction contains should be preserved by your convent in all ways and by all in perpetuity, with Christ's protection, so that the benifits of the privileges bestowed may always remain inviolat in their firmness.
