吾所愛者、吾則責之懲之。尚其激發熱情、悔過自新。

夫吾人既信耶穌之死而復活、亦應信天主必引諸凡安寢於耶穌懷中者、與之俱來也。

然今之受罪、即主之所以鍛鍊吾人、以免與世同科耳。

既食且飽。貪欲未寢。食猶在口。聖怒大震。肥者壯者。殄戮殆盡。

夫大維在世、既完成天主之旨、及其既逝、與列祖同塋、則已朽壞；

子孫苟離經。不守吾規箴。金科與玉律。棄置不復遵。吾當加鞭策。降罰以為懲。終不為已甚。怒中留餘恩。

我且示爾以神聖之秘密：吾人不必盡死、惟必須盡化。

夫天主訓爾如子、爾豈已忘之乎？其言曰：『吾兒莫輕鍛鍊恩、受主懲責毋灰心；正惟主認爾為子、鞭笞備加爾之身。』是知爾所遭受之一切苦痛、所以予爾以磨練也。天主以爾為子、故待爾如此。夫焉有子而不蒙嚴訓者乎？爾若不蒙嚴訓、則為私生子、而非嫡子矣。即吾人肉身之父、亦曾加吾人以訓責矣；而吾人猶孝之順之。矧在吾人靈心之父、不更當孝之順之、以邀永生乎？夫肉身之父之教訓吾人也，不過數春、且多憑其私意而行之；若夫天主之所為、則必於吾人為有益、欲使吾人同化於彼之聖德耳。受訓之時雖不感愉快、但感苦痛；然既經訓練、則必收平安之果、即仁義是已。
