Sat quidem ego putabam esse discessionem a nobis multorum hominum et amicorum et totius P. Nunc vero, si et X et ipsam aulam a nobis discedere Deus permiserit, quo nemo sit, qui iuvare possit velitque reliquis, quam ipse solus ad demostrandam clarius potentiam suam et misericordiam erga nos, non tantum non repulsos longius esse nos ab optata victoria, sed ipsam victoriam tum maxime nobis concessurum credam secundum aeternam suam ordinationem, ut benedicamus Dominum in omni tempore, et semper sit laus eius in ore nostro.
