Is cum speraret non nihil ponderis litteras meas apud Celsitudinem Vestram habituras, non dubitavit a me petere, ut se Celsitudini Vestrae Reverendissimae commendarem, quo videlicet in hoc negotio caput existens Celsitudo Vestra feliciter anuuere illi velit. Quod cum virtus eius promeretur et ante hac semper Moecenatem studiorum suorum expertus est liberalissimum, non sibi persuadet nunc ad maiora anhelantem a Celsitudine Vestra Reverendissima destitutum iri, quod ne spes eum fallat, humiliter peto. Me pro eo intercedente facit anteactae pueritiae summa inter nos animorum consensio et familiaritas, quam et nunc plus etiam experior, quod amico amicus sit haud fucatus. Quapropter, si Celsitudo Vestra Reverendissima facilem se erga eum in suffragio reddendo exhibuerit, ut meam commendationem sibi aliquid profuisse intelligat cum multis nominibus, tum hoc quoque nomine plurimum Celsitudini Vestrae Reverendissimae debebo. Bene valeat Celsitudo Vestra Reverendissima, in cuius gratiam me quantus quantus sum commendo.
