Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine colendissime atque gratiosissime.

Recommissis obsequiis meis cum parato et prompto obsecundandi affectu in gratiam Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationis. Incolumitatem Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae, domini mei gratiosissimi, quam illi semper faustissimam et sine nube adversitatis candidam studiose desidero.

Scriptis meis praesentibus destinavi visendam.

Ceterum, tametsi neglectius, ago et habeo Reverendissimae Paternitati Vestrae multimodas gratias, quod pro sua erga me benignitate et gratia mihi equum mittere dignata est. Munus equidem pergratum, sed eo multo pluris propensionem et affectum Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae existimo, quem non vulgarem erga me profiteor.

Interturbata effecit valetudo mea, qua pede graviter offensus lecto decumbens continuo haerebam, quod Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae tanto tempore nil paenitus scripserim seriusque, quam par sit, retulerim gratias, nec minus indicta pro nuptiis sacrae regiae iunioris maiestatis expeditio, quae iam hac aestate non succedet, huius mei neglectus addiderat. Eas tamen neglectas habiturus sum coram praesens Reverendissimae Paternitati Vestrae abundius, dum mihi per opportunitatem cesserit. Ad Reverendissimam Paternitatem Vestram praesentialiter descendere et illius visere, u text damaged⌈[u]u text damaged⌉tinam bonam et sospitem, valetudinem.

Cuius gratiae me humiliter commendo atque cupio, ut Deus Maximus eandem diu servet incolumem et felicissimam meo pro singulari solamine.
