Quae quoniam Reverendissimae Amplitudini Tuae adeo non satifsecerunt, ut potius me feriatum crediderit, omissis excusationibus eius silentii, iam veniam peto. Novit tamen Deus ferias meas, qui cotidianis precibus nec paucis lacrimis rogatus, adhuc tamen in votis, me has tamen habere vult, quam in re, desideratas, non ad inhonestum aliquod otium, sed studia meliora.

Figuratum argentum et mihi fuit supramodum gratum, et reverendissimo domino ω. Cui passionis Christi, Adae et Evae in uno ac figurarum ex Apocalypsi simulacra in altero numo Reverendissimae Amplitudinis Tuae nomine dedi, non expiscatis iis litteris, quas ipsa de oratione pacis ad illum paulo post huius nuntii egressum se dare constituisse scribit. Cum inspexisset argentum, laeto plane vultu eg[it] magnas gratias Reverendissimae Amplitudini Tuae, cui et viciss[im] egregium aliquod monumentum istorum artificum se missurum altero nuntio dixit, et mihi prim[u]m omnem benevolentiam promisit. Multum is Rome (Roma), city in central Italy, on the Tiber river, seat of the Holy See⌊R[o]maeRome (Roma), city in central Italy, on the Tiber river, seat of the Holy See⌋ potest, et quoniam vicarium quoque summi pontificis agit, cum litterae novae F allatae fuerint, de quibus iam per hunc nuntium M ad me scrip[sit], omnibus modis curabo, ut in * iudex adiung[i]tur. Quo quid fuerit conducibilius? Respondeb[it], cum Reverendissimae Amplitudinis Tuae litteras acceperit, quas dix[it] iam in itinere esse. Eo tempore et ego de illo p[au]ca scribam.

Nuntium hunc ad illum non addu[xi], veritus, ne per eum de hac Σ cum ω familiaritate Π ceterique certiores fierent. Atqui Davidi[s] pugnam cum Golia procuratori meo Gaspari Paga...no, cuius cotidiana opera utor, et immolationem Isaac reverendissimo domino Ennio titulo Sancti Angeli cardinali Verulano dare statui. Cui praesens a Ѧ, ante[quam] hinc proficisceretur, diligenter sum commendat[us]. De quo non parva spes est, ut aliquando B su[c]cedat. Ѧ autem adeo diligit, ut eum non sine lacr[i]mis a se dimiserit. Si successionem illam Deus concesserit, alius proculdubio erit Ѧ color eius[que] omnium rerum status.

Imaginem vero Reverendissimae Amplitudinis T[uae] solum mihi reservabo eamque etiam in gemmam sculpendam curabo ad eum modum, quo signa sole[nt], demptis tantum coloribus, quo in annulum cum gemma inclusa subinde in cera reddi possit. Non tamen ad meum usum, sed perfectam statim ad Reverendissimam Amplitudinem Tuam mittam, quo si placuerit, plures huiusce generis cum aliorum quoque imaginibus, quas vel fusas itidem, vel depictas Romam mittendas putaverit, ut hic fiant, per me curare queat.

Stemma suum mihi condonatum iam sculptum et annulo inclusum habeo, quo et usus sum in obsignandis superioribus novissimis litteris meis. Nihilominus et argenteum alterum, quod ad me Reverendissima Amplitudo Tua misit, gratissimum mihi fuit. Est enim profecto scite etiam sculptum et utriusque mihi erit commodus et necessarius usus. Quare pro hac tanta Reverendissimae Amplitudinis Tuae benevolentia atque his ipsis muneribus, quas potest, poteritque umquam mea tenuitas, ago gratias. Porro, cur nullum ex his argenteis figuratis orbibus vel dederim, vel dare constituerim H, ea est causa, ob quam me nec litteras Σ ei reddidisse, in posterioribus meis scripsi. Idque mihi cavendum arbitror, quamdiu Z Rome (Roma), city in central Italy, on the Tiber river, seat of the Holy See⌊RomaeRome (Roma), city in central Italy, on the Tiber river, seat of the Holy See⌋ manserit, praesertim cum iuxta consilium meum illi quoque per F litteras tum R., tum * mecum tractando committetur, quemadmodum per hunc nuntium M ad me scripsit. Si quid autem aliter Reverendissimae Amplitudini Tuae videbitur, scire cupio.

Breviarium et libellum de episcopo etsi iam dudum miserim, tamen quoniam nondum ad Reverendissimam Amplitudinem Tuam venerant, veritus, ne interciderint, alterum breviarium huic nuntio ferendum dedi.

Quam etsi iam semel quoque ante miserim cum aliis nonnullis libellis inclusis in capsulam peristromatam reverendissimi domini Plocensis, tamen quoniam timeo, ne itidem tardius reddatur, prior illa, quae minutioribus characteribus, sicque non perinde commodis, Reverendissimae Amplitudinis Tuae caligantibus oculis edita est, iterum eandem mittendam putavi, in spem [ve]niens, quod non argumento tantum, sed etiam ipso char[ac]tere Reverendissimae Amplitudini Tuae valde placebit, quamvi[s] iam aliquamdiu in alterius cuiusdam fuerit us[u].
