Quam velim, Deo mihi teste, esse prosperrimam et q[uam] diutissime incolumem.

Ceterum, quae de mente Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae mecum locutus est, omnia pono in arbitrium et volu[n]tatem Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae, cui me in iis omnibus totum su[b]mitto. Statuat et praescribat, quaecumque voluerit, ego m[e] cunctis , quae per me fieri iusser[it], accomodabo obsequentissimum, neque vel latum unguem ex iis me subducam, de quibus si fieri posset sine molestia Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae, cuius valetudinem i[n]visere summopere cupio. Coram tutius et latius.

Quod si etiam Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae non incommodum videretur ob multa, qu[ae] se offerunt et necessaria neque indigna Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissim[ae] scientia, paucis comitatus ipsemet ad Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam convolarem. In spatio unius horae multa inter nos conferre possemus, quae prolixis litteris nequeant explicari, modo voluntatem suam mihi significet Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima.
