Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine observandissime.

Salutem et studiosam servitiorum meorum commendationem.

Gratissimum mihi fuit ex litteris Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae, quas nuper accepi, intellexisse gratas meas litteras illi fuisse, grata mea ista obsequia accidere solere, quae sine scelere praeterire non possem. Sane vellem omnibus modis meam erga Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram observantiam testatam facere illi. Id, postquam serviendo non licet, scribendo saltem ostendere conamur, ne et hoc qualibet vili munere neglecto aut intermisso, negligentiae suspicionem apud illam adirem. Quod vero Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra de sua benevolentia tam benigne mihi pollicetur, est id profecto mihi tam amplum, ut iam beneficii loco istam eius erga me voluntatem reputem. De qua certe multas et magnas Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae ago gratias daturus semper operam, ut illa dignus gratusque cognoscar.
