Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine colendissime.

Officiosissimam servitutis meae commendationem.

De Domino Locka quid aliud scribam, non habeo, nisi quod est hic adhuc. Brevi tamen in Italy (Italia)⌊ItaliamItaly (Italia)⌋ cogitat proficisci ms. profici(!) ⌈proficisciproficisci ms. profici(!) ⌉, nisi quod sumptus non habet. Reverendissimus dominus promisit se quoque annui nomine daturum aliquid, in Vestra Reverendissima Dominatione quoque spes est, quod eum desertura non sit. Ego tot annis ex cantoria ne teruntium quidem accepi. Nuper, ut audio, per venerabile capitulum est constitutum, ut mihi fructus darentur; qui si dabuntur, donavi eos domino Locka, quantisper in Italia fuerit.
