Quam ego profecto neque minus atque meam doleo et prosperrimam esse Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae ex animo opto.

Quod vero Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra ita prolixa de paulo diuturniore silentio suo excusatione adversum me utitur, haec, quam mea quidem causa minime necessaria, tam fuit et gratiae erga me plena, et mihi certe gratissima, sed eadem hac apud Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram uti mea nimirum magis interest.

Quod enim a me nihil iam dudum litterarum ad Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram datum est, profecto neque oblivione, neque negligentia aut meae erga illam intermissione observantiae, sed eo plane accidit, quod annum hunc ferme totum peregre agendo consumpsi et ubi reversus huc essem, habui hactenus neminem, cui meas ad illam litteras committere recte potuissem, haud tamen segnius observantiam erga Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram meam interea tutatus sum, quam ei cum summa benevolentia praestabo, dum vivam, semper.
