Feci id aequissimo animo, cum, ut homini de me optime semper merito et quem a pluribus annis unice observare solitus sum, parerem, tum vero, quia Celsitudini Tuae sperabam me ea in re gratificaturum, quin gaudebam quoque mihi occasionem tam commodam oblatam, in qua Reverendissimae Celsitudini Tuae meam operam probatam iri posse confiderem, ut cui omnibus meis officiis devinctissimum me existimo, neque enim eidem minus debere me atque parentibus censeo immo quo maiorem gratiam merentur illi, qui Jesus of Nazareth (Jesus Christ), in Christianity the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament⌊ChristoJesus of Nazareth (Jesus Christ), in Christianity the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament⌋ nos regenerant, quam qui in mundum atque lucem hanc producunt, hoc magis me quoque eidem debere profiteor, ut qui me mundo natum, Christo renasci fidem suam pro me apud eundem baptismi tempore interponendo fecerit.

⌉ et in litterarum studiis proficiat, moribusque liberaliter instituto homine dignis praeditus evadat. Idque agam, ne quidpiam in me desiderari possit, quod mea interesse arbitrabor. Idem illum quoque facturum non dubito. Nam, ut quidem sese hactenus praestitit, satis mihi probatur, BCz, 1597, p. 724 modesto est ingenio ac placido, studiis quoque, quae illius aetas est, satis diligentem navat operam, opinor quoque ei cum talibus esse consuetudinem, a quorum commercio nihil illi sit periculi metuendum. Agit mecum in eisdem, quibus et parens mea, aedibus. Haec saepius, qua animi propensione Celsitudo Tua in se fuerit tum cum hic esset, praedicare solet omniaque, quae in nepotem eiusdem praestare poterit officia, promptissime facturam se in gratiam Celsitudinis Tuae pollicetur. Quae eandem officiosissime salutat omniaque Celsitudini Tuae felicissime cedere ex animo optat.
Commendo me in gratiam C(elsitudinis) Tuae Reverendissimae utque eandem Dominus Deus in longa tempora servet incolumem ad reipublicae Christianae ornamentum nominisque sui gloriam precari non intermittam.
