ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
We have celebrated with you, by the favor of the Godhead—with you, I say, not in place but in spirit—we your poor little folk of Vienne, the paschal feast. But if you ask, and in what manner: it is because one grieves the more that someone near, who could more easily have been present, was absent. Yet do not say, when we lament these things, that we differ from your will. This long while—we holily believe—affection detains you there, contempt does not exclude you from here. You love equally one Church in each of your cities; but you cleave to the pious father, so far as is expedient, until he consents that you should follow us to whichever city. Whence, as it is commanded, first we render to God concerning the solemnity, then we pay what is owed to Caesar.
