Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine gratiosissime et observande.

Praemissa commendatione servitiorum meorum in Paternita paper damaged⌈[in Paternita]in Paternita paper damaged⌉tis Vestrae Reverendissimae gratiam.

Cum venissem Mariemburgum, u paper damaged⌈[urgum, u]urgum, u paper damaged⌉t primum nuntius obtigit, nolui committe paper damaged⌈[mitte]mitte paper damaged⌉re, quin pro mea vetere in illam observantia aliquid litterarum Paternitati Vestrae Reverendissimae per eum mitterem. Quibus sanitatem illius officiose viso, optans illi ex animo vitam longam, dominationem diutinam omniaque reliqua fausta.

Quantum vero attinet gratiam illius in me ac animi propensionem, libenter videre vellem, ut ferventior sit, nam mirar paper damaged⌈[ar]ar paper damaged⌉i non sufficio, cur post tot epistulas ad illam, tum in meis negotiis quibusdam, tum ob testimonium mei in illam animi et observantiae, datas numquam quicquam responsi acceperim. Non possum tamen mihi persuadere affectum illius in me, quem ego permultis argumentis sum expertus, penitus ex animo illam eiecisse silentiumque illius hoc non negligentiae, sed occupationibus illius permultis acceptum refero.

Novarum rerum, quibus integra fides esset habenda, nihil nunc habens, in gratiam illius me studiose commendo, superstitem diu esse cupiens.
