Quote from Letter 7,6 to Maurice, Augustus. October 596
Almighty God, who has made your Majesty the guardian of the peace of our church, preserves you with the very faith which you preserve in the unity of the priesthood, and when you subject your heart humbly beneath the yoke of heavenly piety, through heavenly grace it is brought about that you trad on your enemies with the foot of fortitude.
