Servitia mea Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae praesentibus offero.

Gratissimae mihi erant litterae Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationis, ea etiam, quae nuntius attulerat, iucundissim[ae] mihi erant, narrabant enim Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram sanam et incolumem esse et bonis omnibus affatim abundare, quibus utinam diutissime fruatur Vestra Reverendissima Paternitas, ex animo eidem faveo.

Ego nunc itinere Italico nimium sum exhaustus et peregrinatio ipsa nimio mihi constitit. Et in hoc maxime laboro, ut possem satisfacere creditoribus, aliquibus etiam foenus pendendo protraham, praesertim quando pro praesenti tempore non sum solvendo, usque dum res meae coalescent et firmabuntur. Sic magna necessitate et alieni aeris penuria premor. Tamen si Deus aliquando concesserit istis calamitatibus liberari, curabo, quod me illis amplius non invol[vam].

Ego Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae tantum debeo, ut si me ipsum eidem impenderem, ei non possem satisfacere. Tanta sunt eius in me summae benevolentiae signa, quod si aliquando Deo propitio me his curis expl[icabo], Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae servitiis meis serviam, licet prout fassus s[um], nunquam tantum efficere potero, ut ei satis facere possem.
