Translation:
A Letter from William, Archbishop of Canterbury to Cyril Lucaris, Patriarch of Constantinople, AD 1636
To Cyrillus, most beloved of God and most pious, by the grace of God bishop of Constantinople, the New Rome, right honourable primate, ecumenical patriarch and benefactor to the community of the Church universal.
This epistle to the Corinthians, the only indisputably genuine one of those in circulation by St Clement, which had been unknown to both the Romans and the Corinthians for many centuries, consigned to deep oblivion and entirely lost, but which through the diligence of Your Holiness, brought into the world by good fortune for the common good of the Church, and through your exceptional care has been saved and three years ago was published in the famous University of Oxford for the common utility of the whole brotherhood in Jesus Christ, <this epistle> sends you gladly, to be an enduring memorial of gratitude, for so enormously great a service, and as proof of our eternal and sincere friendship and brotherly love, with an embrace in the holy kiss, and begging your pardon for the slow conveyance,
William, by the same grace archbishop of Canterbury, primate and metropolitan of the whole of England and chancellor of the University of Oxford.
