Reverendissime in Christo pater et domine, domine amice colendissime.

Salutem et felicitatem.

Inter praecipua, quae mihi ad ista Regni comitia venturo in animum incurrerant, hoc fuit non mediocris desiderii, ut Reverendissimam Vestram Dominationem ex illa longa absentia reducem coram intueri, alloqui, ex alloquiisque miscere communis amicitiae officia daretur facultas. Verum tamen ex quo ob consilium, ex necessariis causis animo firmatum, non fuit Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationi integra facultas veniendi huc, cogor et ipse illud animi mei desiderium in aliam occasionem differre et eius absentiam praesenti memoria utcumque pensare. Quod vero mihi animi sui propensionem tantopere declarare voluit, ago ei summas gratias et amplector tam benevolentem eius animum, cui vicissim me, quantus quantus sum, addico et testor nihil tam carum apud me esse, quod non infra eius apud me amicitiam et existimationem longe sit positum, cuius benevolentiae me commendo cupioque felicem esse et diu multumque valere.

Reverendissime in Christo Pater, domine et amice observantissime.

Salutem cum mei diligentissima commendatione.

Longe sit a me ea opinio, ut Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram eorum de numero esse putem, qui nisi utilitatis causa facile absentium amicorum oblivionem inducere solent. Novi siquidem et exploratissimam habeo Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae erga me fidem atque in amicitia constantiam, quibus rebus confirmato animo sum omni metu solutus, ne quando Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra etiam in summo silentio memoriam amicitiae nostrae excutere possit. Quod enim perraro ad me scribat, cum illi per locorum intervalla non aliter liceat, contra rationem officii non facit, alioquin et ego eius cessationis in amicitiae officio eadem culpa non carerem, ut qui illi rarissime scribam.

Quod vero res ita tulit, ut Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra litteras proprio famulo ad me mitteret meque salutatum de quodam benemerito suo posceret, ut illi operam meam non denegarem, utroque nuntio non mediocriter sum exhilaratus, quod et valetudini, et rebus meis omnibus, si prospere et ex sententia cedunt, gratuletur, et officium ex me requirit, quo illi operam meam commendare et non postreme gratificari possem, quorum in altero quantum mihi faveat, in altero quantum sibi de me persuaserit, non obscure testificatur.

Ego vero Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae immensas ago gratias non modo pro ea benevolentia, quod tantos successus mihi faveat, sed quod occasionem mihi dederit sibi utcumque nunc in hac detenti liberatione gratificandi. Certe cuperem in multo maioribus officiis meam illi perpetuam et gratam voluntatem declarare.

Sicut enim in maioribus morem gerere Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationi semper honestum et optimum esse duxi, ita in his officiis, quae ad maiorem coniunctionem benevolentiae mutuae inter nos pertinere videntur, nihil umquam, quaecumque mearum virium erunt, studii et observantiae in me desideratura est.

Quod amplius Vestram Reverendissimam Dominationem non latere velim, ex mea manu scriptis intelleget.

Poem lost, mentioned in IDL 2609: ago et habeo immensas gratias Reverendissimae Paternitati Vestrae, quod et morti desideratissimi domini et parentis mei condoleat, neque oblivisci voluit amici sui fidelis et integri, quodque me sua amicissima et prudenti consolatione destitutum esse noluerit, quin et carmen lugubre, gratum defuncti amici memoriale, litteris adiunxerit
