Gregory to the clergy, order, and people resident at Terracina.

For this reason, your love ought to show him obedience in all things, so that, strengthened by the support of your charity, he may with the Lord's help be able to fulfill in a salutary manner the care and governance of the church which he is shown to have undertaken at your request.
