Condolemus praeterea Paternitati Vestrae Reverendae de adversa illius valetudine, quam omnino nollemus et quam brevissimam optamus.

Ceterum munus consecrationis per Dominationem Vestram Reverendam desideratum ipsi impendere ex animo desideramus et ut illud negotium, propterea quod commodius quam ad proximam diem Dominicam Dominationi Vestrae Reverendae per nos impendi nequit, maturari cupimus, formidamus enim, ne vel impedimenta emergant, ve quibus Dominatio Vestra Reverenda illud recipere seu nos illud impendere alio tempore prohibeamur ac impediamur. Admonitam quoque Dominationem Vestram Reverendam voluimus, quod ut ad munus consecrationis sibi impendendum aptus et idoneus reddatur, necesse erit, ut omnino hac septimana, proximam diem Dominicam praecedente, omnes sacros etiam presbiteriatus ordines recipiat, quos etiam nos eidem, quatenus desiderabat, conferre paratos offerimus. Et Dominationem Vestram Reverendam paper damaged[m]m paper damaged feliciter valere cupimus.
