A Reverendissima Dominatione Vestra magnopere peto, si quod mihi ius competeret, ut neque consilio neque auxilio mihi suo deesse dignetur. Ego vero omnem vicissim operam et servitutem meam Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae semper offero promptam et paratam. Cui causam meam pluribus verbis commendarem, nisi nescio quam ingentem animo spem concepissem, eam esse gratiam Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae in me, ut nihil opus mihi sit pluribus me verbis in illius gratiam insinuare. Quare Deum precor, ut Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae fausta et felicia cuncta, imprimis autem vitam longam atque eam incolumem largiatur. Cuius me gratiae etiam atque etiam diligenter commendo.
