Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, Domine gratiosissime. Humillimam commendationem.

Scripsi iterum maiestati regiae ea, quae post novissimas meas cum domino de Bredom datas se hic obtulerunt, ex quibus Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima omnia intelleget. Hoc vero quod istius nuntium spectat, cum illi has deferendas dedi, non audebam ad unguem describere. Adhuc super T ea mihi est mens, quemadmodum prius scripsi.

Hoc quod scripsi de transitu in Italiam nondum est certum. Res haec eget multis etc. Pontifex facit, quod sui maiores semper fecerunt, sed cf. Verg. A. 4 373 ⌊nusquam tuta fidescf. Verg.

Haec sunt, quae mihi hoc tempore videbantur scribenda, quae Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima pro mea fide et sua summa sapientia metiatur. Alia hac tempestate se non offerunt. Commendo me humiliter Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae, et per Deum immortalem rogo, mei in hoc exilio non obliviscatur.
