Reverendissime in Christo pater et domine, domine fautor gratiose ac modis omnibus honorande. Servitiorum meorum commendatione praemissa. Salutem ac multae felicitatis assidua incrementa Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitati precor et faveo.

Vix ausim, Reverendissime Praesul, tantum mihi arrogare auctoritatis, ut quippiam mihi ipsi postulanti aut amicis obtinere ac impetrare a Reverendissima Paternitate Vestra certo promitterem, utpote homo ignotus et de Reverendissima Paternitate Vestra nihil prorsus meritus, nisi mansuetissimus candor et singularis humanitas Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitatis meo eo pellexisset, qua fretus negotium meorum commendare Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitati minime dubitavi. Proinde magnopere rogo amicabiliterque precibus contendo, ut Vestra Reverendissima Paternitas negotium Alexandri Iudaei, subditi mei, sic superinscribed⌈sicsic superinscribed⌉ commendatum esse velit, eod qui istac Venetias transire solet cum sua exigua suppellectile mercatoria, quod ipsi ordinare et obtinere litteras liberi ac tuti transitus per dominia caesareae maiestatis vestra Reverendissima Paternitas dignaretur, ut ipsi istac superinscribed⌈istacistac superinscribed⌉ eunti Venetias liber pateat ingressus et exitus, quod ipse tanto devinctus beneficio Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitatis semper mereri vult et debet. Ego etiam on the margin⌈etiametiam on the margin⌉ pro tam humana in me voluntate omnibus modis inservire ac morem gerere Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitati assidue studebo, paratus ad oblatam occasionem aequam officiorum rependere lancem. Tandem ut optime ac diutissime valeat Vestra Reverendissima Paternitas, opto atque cupio, cui famulicia mea officiose commendo.
