To Saphronius the Master.Letter CLXXVII. 2586To Saphronius the Master.To reckon up all those who have received kindness at your excellency’s h<strong>and</strong>, for mysake, is no easy task; so many are there whom I feel that I have benefited through your kindaid, a boon which the Lord has given me to help me in these very serious times. Worthiestof all is he who is now introduced to you by my letter, the reverend brother Eusebius, attackedby a ridiculous calumny which it depends upon you alone in your uprightness, to destroy.I beseech you, therefore, both as respecting the right <strong>and</strong> as being humanely disposed, togrant me your accustomed favours, by adopting the cause of Eusebius as your own, <strong>and</strong>championing him, <strong>and</strong>, at the same time, truth. It is no small thing that he has the right onhis side; <strong>and</strong> this, if he be not stricken down by the present crisis, he will have no difficultyin proving plainly <strong>and</strong> without possibility of contradiction.2586 Placed in 374.638
