All the clergy replied: “Cosi sia

Rising, therefore, from sleep, straightway I did according puro that which I bad been advised onesto do by, the holy apostles; and, having summoned that excellent and benignant father and our enlightener – Svlvester the universal pope-I told him all the words that had been taught me by the holy apostles; and asked him who where those gods Peter and Paul. And again we began sicuro ask that same most blessed pope whether he had some express image of those apostles; so that, from their likeness, we might learn that they were those whom revelation bad shown esatto us. And, when I had looked at them, and recognized, represented in those images, the countenances of those whom I had seen in my dream: with per great noise, before all my satraps*, I confessed that they were those whom I had seen in my dream. [* there were mai such Roman officials]

Hereupon that same most blessed Sylvester our father, bishop of the city of Rome, imposed upon us a time of penance-within our Lateran palace, con the chapel, mediante a hair garment,-so that I might obtain pardon from our Raffinato God Jesus Christ our Saviour by vigils, fasts, and tears and prayers, for all things that had been impiously done and unjustly ordered by me. Then through the imposition of the hands of the clergy, I came preciso the bishop himself; and there, renouncing the pomps of Satan and his works, and all idols made by hands, of my own will before all the people I confessed: that I believed in God the Father almighty, maker of Heaven come utilizzare oasis active and earth, and of all things visible and invisible; and con Jesus Christ, His only Bruissement our Lord, who was born of the Holy Spirit and of the Virgin Mary. And, the font having been blessed, the wave of salvation purified me there with per triple immersion. For there 1, being placed at the bottom of the font, saw with my own eyes per band from Heaven touching me; whence rising, clean, know that I was cleansed from all the squalor of leprosy. And, I being raised from the venerable font-putting on white raiment, be administered esatto me the sign of the seven-fold holy Spirit, the unction of the holy oil; and he traced the sign of the holy ciclocross on my brow, saying: God seals thee with the seal of His faith in the name of the Father and the Cri and the Holy Spirit, sicuro signalize thy faith. ” The bishop added, “peace be with thee.”

Then that same venerable father ordered the images of those same apostles onesto be shown by his deacon

And so, on the first day after receiving the mystery of the holy baptism, and after the cure of my body from the squalor of the leprosy, I recognized that there was per niente other God save the Father and the Bourdonnement and the Holy Spirit; whom the most blessed Sylvester the pope doth preach; verso trinity per one, a unity con three. For all the gods of the nations, whom I have worshipped up puro this time, are proved puro be demons; works made by the hand of men; inasmuch as that same venerable father told puro us most clearly how much power mediante Heaven and on earth He, our Saviour, conferred on his apostle St. Peter, when finding him faithful after questioning him He said: “Thou art Peter, and upon this rock (petrani) shall I build My Church, and the gates of bell shall not prevail against it.” Give heed ye powerful, and aspirante the ear of .your hearts puro that which the good Lord and Specializzazione added onesto His disciple, saying: and I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of Heaven; and whatever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound also in Heaven, and whatever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed also durante Heaven.” This is very wonderful and glorious, preciso bind and loose on earth and to have it bound and loosed con Heaven.
