Reverendissime in Christo Pater, domine et amice observantissime.

Salutem cum mei diligentissima commendatione.

Longe sit a me ea opinio, ut Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram eorum de numero esse putem, qui nisi utilitatis causa facile absentium amicorum oblivionem inducere solent. Novi siquidem et exploratissimam habeo Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae erga me fidem atque in amicitia constantiam, quibus rebus confirmato animo sum omni metu solutus, ne quando Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra etiam in summo silentio memoriam amicitiae nostrae excutere possit. Quod enim perraro ad me scribat, cum illi per locorum intervalla non aliter liceat, contra rationem officii non facit, alioquin et ego eius cessationis in amicitiae officio eadem culpa non carerem, ut qui illi rarissime scribam.

Quod vero res ita tulit, ut Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra litteras proprio famulo ad me mitteret meque salutatum de quodam benemerito suo posceret, ut illi operam meam non denegarem, utroque nuntio non mediocriter sum exhilaratus, quod et valetudini, et rebus meis omnibus, si prospere et ex sententia cedunt, gratuletur, et officium ex me requirit, quo illi operam meam commendare et non postreme gratificari possem, quorum in altero quantum mihi faveat, in altero quantum sibi de me persuaserit, non obscure testificatur.

Ego vero Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae immensas ago gratias non modo pro ea benevolentia, quod tantos successus mihi faveat, sed quod occasionem mihi dederit sibi utcumque nunc in hac detenti liberatione gratificandi. Certe cuperem in multo maioribus officiis meam illi perpetuam et gratam voluntatem declarare.
