The recipient of the letter is humbled by the praise given to them and is touched by the recognition of their efforts. They find Calmet’s work to be weak and inadequate, particularly criticising its argument regarding Saint Peter’s journey to Rome, which they find poorly substantiated. The letter also dismisses various historical claims about early Christian figures as dubious, suggesting that ecclesiastical history has been misrepresented for financial and political gain. The writer concludes by advising that while such errors are entrenched, a discerning mind can remain unaffected by them.
