A me autem fatigato et uix loquente, pauca libenter accipite. Habemus enim et libellum de beneficiis dei per sanctum martyrem datis, pariter libentius audiamus.
'Tired tough I am, and scarcely able to speak, accept ungrudgingly a few words from me. After all, we also have a written account about the favours God has granted through this holy martyr, so let us listen to that even more willingly.'
This reference to the libellus gives Augustine a pretext for not speaking about the martyr and the following part of the sermon does not mention him anymore.
