For our boast is this
— our conscience is witness-
that in simplicity and purity of God
–not in earthly wisdom
–but in the grace of God
we conducted ourselves in the world
-and all the more towards you.
For we do not write to you
anything that you cannot read
or recognise.
So I hope that you will recognise (us) completely
as you have recognised us partly
that we are your boast
-just so you also are ours
on the day of the Lord Jesus.
Grant, Lord,
that we may hold to you without parting,
worship you without wearying,
serve you without failing;
faithfully seek you,
happily find you,
and forever possess you,
the only God,blessed now and for ever.
Amen
St Anselm
