To Daburius the Monk.
If the Lord has indeed thought us worthy to be chosen, so that we should draw near to him continually, and minister to him, and keep his commandments and his ordinances, let us not be parted from him even for a moment of time, but through prayer, and word, and deed, and above all through a pure and faithful mind, let us send up incense to Christ, the God who lacks nothing and is most high of all.
