Quod, dum ita fit res in hunc mutata statum, minus dubitavi, quin apud Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram hoc idem essem habiturus.

Si meam personam secum ferre possit, nullam a me molestiam acceptura, ut ego cognito Reverendissimae Dominatinis Vestrae animo, loco et die conveniendi ad hoc me accingere possem iter. Utrum si negotium hoc quoquomodo Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae adversum fuerit, non laboro, nisi ut Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae gratia mihi sit integra, precor, dignetur mihi, quid sperandum sit quantocius, indicare.
