| Text | In Ezram et Neemiam libri III (725 - 731) Bede |
| Quotation | Sed et heretici cum gentilis philosophiae dialecticae ac rethoricae studiis amplius quam ecclesiasticae simplicitati operam dant non mirandum si auditores eorum iuxta linguam populi et populi loquantur scripturas quidem sanctas ore uoluentes sed has erratico ac gentili sensu interpretantes. Igitur mundaui eos ab omnibus alienigenis et constitui ordines sacerdotum et leuitarum unumquemque in ministerio suo et in oblatione lignorum in temporibus constitutis et in primitiis; memento mei deus meus in bonum. |
| Translation | But also when heretics pay attention to the studies of Gentile philosophy, dialectic and rhetoric more than to ecclesiastical simplicity one should not marvel if their hearers should speak the language of this or that people, paying lip service to Holy Scripture’s words but interpreting them with a misguided and Gentile understanding. [Neh. 13:30–31] So I purified them from all the foreigners, and I appointed orders of priests and Levites, each in their own ministry,and for the offering of wood at designated times, and for the first-fruits.Remember me with favour, Oh my God. (Trans. DeGregorio, p. 225) |
