Quamvis itaque nihil fuerit, quod magnopere scriberem, tamen hoc ipsum scribere duxi satius, modo ut testarer studium meum et observantiam erga Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram, quam ut a teneris annis semper colui summaque sum veneratione prosecutus, ita deinceps etiam facere nunquam intermittam. Quod si quid est, in quo opera servituteque mea Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae gratiam magis atque magis demereri queam, imperet modo. Nihil fecero libentius, quam ut vel ad nutum illius me convertam.

Nova, quae sunt ad nos perlata, etiamsi paulo iam vetustiora, tamen in hac scheda praesentibus inclusa Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae mittenda putavi.
