Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine observandissime.

Salutem et legitimam obsequiorum meorum commendationem.

Facere non possum, quin in singulas litteras Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae agam gratias, ea esse solent omnes humanitate praeditae vel hae proximae, quas nuper accepi, quam humanissimis contextae fuerunt verbis, qua sententiarum verborumque gravitate monachi Hungarici cum monacho Germanico utroque exitiali sua in arte auctore collationem nobis exhibuerunt, iis vero quam belle respondet Marphorius, omnia profecto sunt dignitatis, prudentiae eruditionisque plena, sunt itaque a me singulari cum voluptate lecta.
