55 And do each of you, having received the law from the hands of the blessed Prophets and the holy gospel [16], firmly maintain it;
56 To the end that you may be rewarded in the resurrection of the dead, and the possession of the life eternal.
57 But if any of ye, not believing, shall trespass, he shall be judged with the misdoers, and punished with those who have false belief.
58 Because such are the generation of vipers, and the children of dragons and basilisks.
59 Drive far from amongst ye, and fly from such, with the aid of our Lord Jesus Christ.
60 And the peace and grace of the beloved Son be upon you.[17] Amen.
Done into English by me, January-February, 1817, at the Convent of San Lazaro, with the aid and exposition of the Armenian text by the Father Paschal Aucher, Armenian Friar.

I had also the Latin text, but it is in many places very corrupt, and with great omissions.
