Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine colendissime et observande. Obsequiorum meorum commendationem.

Hesternus dies, ut primus mihi fuit auspicandae successionis in dicionem Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae, ita ad reliqua felicem faustumque esse Deum precor, utque a subditis non minus amer, quam Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra ab illis amata est. Indicium faventis numinis est, quod meum ingressum post tantam ariditatem amoena pluvia excepit.
