Quote from Letter 7,9 to John, bishop of Syracuse. October 596
I remember replying already to you in previous letters, and there is nothing else that you have to do, except that you should do everything in consideration of our almighty Lord alone, and do not allow any person to weaken you in the vigor of your discipline, or any strong disdain (Heaven forbid!), make you hard-hearted with an inflexibility of immoderate strictness.
