Atque munificentiam Reverendissimae Paternitatis Tuae plus quam heroicam nullo non tempore fatebor, quam semper custoditam alta memoria ruminabor; memini enim illa superiora a liberalitate Amplissimae Paternitatis Tuae profecta, qui plus accepi a benignitate regia, quam promeruerim, nec ulla de re magis sollicitus sum, quam ut regiae in me munificentiae respondeam. Quare si aliqua in re Reverendissimae Paternitati Tuae opera mea quantulacumque utilitati esse potero, sentiet eam Reverendissimam Paternitatem Tuam sibi nusquam defuturam. Quod superest, peto, ut aliqua pars laboris in officio meo mihi minuatur. Ad festum divi Micha{h}elis cogimur migrare ad locum priorem, nondum exaedificatum.
