Gregory to Fortunatus, bishop of Naples. We have received the letters of your charity, in which you have indicated to us that, God being favorable, you have been well received by your sons, the citizens of Naples. For which we have rendered thanks to the Omnipotent God. It behooves you, therefore, to repay their affection by your own morals, to coerce the bad, to relax toward the good discreetly and most kindly, to admonish them more frequently to follow the better parts, so that both they may rejoice to have found in you paternal manners, and you may more studiously carry out the cause of government committed to you, with the Lord cooperating.
