Reverendissime Domine, domine colendissime.

Annum hunc ineuntem faustum et felicem precor Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae atque illi servitutem una meam defero.

Cardinalibus, ut primum certi hominis pot ms. s(!) tt ms. s(!) estas dabitur, curabo ex sententia Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae responderi.
