Innocentius episcopus servus servorum dei. Ad futuram rei memoriam. Summis desiderantes affectibus prout pastoralis sollicitudinis cura requirit, ut fides catholica nostris potissime temporibus, ubique augeatur et floreat, ac omnis heretica pravitas, de finibus fidelium procul pellatur, ea libenter declaramus, ac etiam de novo concedimus, per quem huiusmodi pium desiderium nostrum votivum sortiatur effectum, cunctisque propterea per nostrae operationis ministerium, quasi per providi operatoris sarculum, erroribus extirpatis, eiusdem fidei zelus, et observantia in ipsorum corda fidelium fortius imprimatur.
Innocent, Bishop, Servant of Servants of God, to future memory: Desiring with the highest affections, as required by our pastoral concerns, that the Catholic Faith should, most importantly, be allowed to grow and flourish for all time, and that all heretical depravity be expelled far from the boundaries of the faithful. We gladly declare and also allow anew the ways and means of this sort through which our avowed, pious desire can be made effective. For this reason, it is through the ministry of all our work weeding out errors (as if by the spade of a cautious gardiner) that the zeal and observation of a united faith be most strongly imprinted into the hearts of the faithful themselves.
