Eximie Domine, frater et amice carissime et honorande.

Litteras Dominationis Vestrae cum aliis inclusis et apertis ex Spain (Hispania)⌊HispaniaSpain (Hispania)⌋ uti ad me a Dominatione Vestra primas, ita gratiores et gratior[i] animo accepi et perlegi. Neque mihi displicuit, quod Dominatio Vestra mecum iocatur. cf. Vulg. Cor1 12:11 Cum essem parvulus, loquebar ut parvulus, sapiebam ut parvulus, cogitabam ut parvulus. Quando factus sum vir, evacuavi quae erant parvuli. ⌊Cum eram parvulus, loqueb[ar] et faciebam ut parvulus, quod iam per aetatem et professionem est prohibitum.cf. Vulg. Cor1 12:11 Cum essem parvulus, loquebar ut parvulus, sapiebam ut parvulus, cogitabam ut parvulus.

Si cui canis datur, illius est, cui datus est, quid si detur homo, non ingratior esse debet, opinio confirmat omnia, qua etiam et orbis regitur etc.
