THEREFORE: it is fitting that you run together in accordance with the will of your bishop, which you already do. For your justly renowned presbytery, worthy of God, is fitted as perfectly to the bishop as strings are to a harp. Therefore, in your concord and harmonious love, Jesus Christ is sung. And do you, each individually, become a choir, so that being harmonious in love, and taking up the song of God in unison, you may with one voice sing to the Father through Jesus Christ. This way, He may both hear you, and perceive by your works that you are indeed members of His Son. It is profitable, therefore, that you live in an unblameable unity, so that you may always enjoy communion with God.
