In curia caesaris

Reverendissime domine, domine meus colende.

Quod tarde congratuler novis honorum accessionibus et incrementis Paternitatis Vestrae Reverendissimae, non est, quod argui debeam, quandoquidem sera gratulatio reprehendi non solet. Sit igitur felix faustusque cum imprecatione maioris felicitatis iste episcopatus, qui pinguioris et dignioris praecursor esse possit.
