Fuit mihi, Reverendissime atque Amplissime Domine, perquam iucunda pristinae inter nos consuetudinis et longo usu firmatae amicitiae ex alto repetita commemoratio, quae profecto nisi tam alte radices egisset, non potuisset inter tam magna locorum intercapedine disiunctos tam diu inconcussa perstare, sed animus loco non concluditur neque eius coniunctio intervallo dirimi potest.

Est igitur, quod eo nomine Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae gratias agam. De me vero, cum nos principio potius deus aliquis quam casus coniunxit, usu deinde iudicium confirmavit, pollicear non alium eidem fore absentem, quam coram sit experta, id est solide vereque suum, et abs quo pro suo iure possit quidvis, quod a me vel ad eius dignitatis ornamentum vel nominis amplitudinem proficisci posset, expectare. Quem animum, ut cupio, ut etiam absens re ipsa possem confirmare, ita sane quam ex animo Dominationis Vestrae eas virtutes congratulor, quae illi eum dignitatis et eruditionis gradum compararint, quo nihil a quoquam nedum adiici a me posset.
