[Summary heading:] That Laurentius is to guard against [...] the heretics who follow the poison of Photinus [the deniers of Christ's divinity], so that they may be driven out.

Innocent to Laurentius, bishop of the city of Siena.

[...] they have denied [his] divinity, and even now they go on denying it, so that they share in [his] condemnation. It is your task, most beloved brother, to carry out what has been enjoined without slackening: that you may not, through neglect, lose the people entrusted to you, and so begin to render to God an account for the lost.
