&lt;p&gt;P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Bonif&lt;em&gt;acio&lt;/em&gt; Soragna.~&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Molto Reverendo in Cristo Padre&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;P&lt;em&gt;ax&lt;/em&gt; C&lt;em&gt;hristi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Timore di molestia che potessi recare alla Paternità Vostra, di tenacità nel mio giudizio, di insofferenza e, lo dirò pure, timore altresì di aver perduto la vocazione per essermi troppo facilmente accomodato ad una vita, qual'è la presente, più tranquilla e quieta mi hanno lungamente tenuto in forse se conveniva riportarsi o no alla P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; M&lt;em&gt;olto&lt;/em&gt; R&lt;em&gt;everenda&lt;/em&gt; le istanze per ottenere le missioni estere. Che se non tutto questo mi si rappresentava al pensiero che al meno inutili erano per riuscire la mia nuova inchiesta; e che quindi sarebbe più stato a seconda del volere di Dio il rimanermene quieto e l'attendere in silenzio quando che fosse il volere di Lui.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Contuttociò ho creduto esser migliore partito il manifestare questi strani movimenti del mio spirito alla P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; affinchè voglia provvederci con quella paterna cura di cui altre fiate ho esperimentato i consolanti effetti.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Posso dunque sperare ancora di ottenere le missioni orientali e della Cina? posso sperarle tra breve? Sarà egli di mestieri e conveniente ch'io ancora più volte ne rinnovi colle istanze la memoria? Ecco quanto sono ansioso di conoscere, e conoscere non posso se non dalla P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; a cui perciò mi diriggo colla presente affinchè, se Le aggradi o lo giudichi opportuno, io ne ottenga risposta.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Io sì conosco di non possedere alcuna di pietà e straordinaria dottrina quasi necessarie condizioni a tanta impresa; ma io mi chiamerei fortunato che se non con altro potermi colla perdita del mio sangue e della mia vita procurare la maggior gloria di Dio Signore Nostro.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Che anzi questo stesso desiderio di spargere tutto il mio sangue per amore di G&lt;em&gt;esù&lt;/em&gt; C&lt;em&gt;risto&lt;/em&gt; e della Sua santissima religione fa sì che sembrimi ch'io più presto mi fermerei in Italia nel solo caso, che qui tra breve avesse a scoppiare una qualche crudele persecuzione non dissomigliante a quello che oggidì devasta il regno di Spagna.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Ma già credo avere esposto più che a sufficienza quali siano i miei sentimenti e i miei desiderii alla Paternità Vostra Molto Reverenda; quindi più non aggiungo fuorchè il pregarla ad avermi per iscusato, e presente ne' S&lt;em&gt;uoi &lt;/em&gt;S&lt;em&gt;antissimi&lt;/em&gt; S&lt;em&gt;acrifici&lt;/em&gt; in unione de' quali mi dichiaro&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Della Paternità Sua Molto Reverenda&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Infimo in C&lt;em&gt;ris&lt;/em&gt;to Servo&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Bonif&lt;em&gt;aci&lt;/em&gt;o Soragna S&lt;em&gt;ocietatis&lt;/em&gt; J&lt;em&gt;esu&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
