Reverendissime in Christo pater et domine, domine colendissime. Addictissimis meis servitiis in gratiam Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationis commendatis salutem et felicia omnia ex animo eidem succedere opto.

Quod tam amanter ea, quae per me scribuntur, Vestra Reverendissima Dominatio suscipere solet, facit id quidem pro solita sua benignitate et erga me animi propensione singulari, sed profecto et scripta mihi eiusdem, ut debent, sunt gratissima, veteris enim suae erga me benevolentiae semper cum per me leguntur vestigia eaque non obscura in illis perspicio.
