              <text>&lt;p&gt;Molto R&lt;em&gt;everen&lt;/em&gt;do in &lt;em&gt;Christo &lt;/em&gt;Pa&lt;em&gt;dr&lt;/em&gt;e N&lt;em&gt;ostro&lt;/em&gt;&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;Corre l’anno decimo, che per speciale inspiratione di Dio dimando à P&lt;em&gt;adri&lt;/em&gt; Generali la sospirata licenza di passare all’Indie&lt;span&gt;; &lt;/span&gt;la quale da parenti mi è stata da molti anni in quà pienamente conceduta: E perche in cosa sì importante devo procurare d’incontrare il divino beneplacito, &lt;span&gt;dò &lt;/span&gt;brevemente parte a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; di ciò, che per misericordia del Sig&lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt;re mi occorre intorno à tal vocatione. Le fò dunque sapere, qualmente tutte le volte, che con ogni schiettezza hò com&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;m&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;unicato questo mio desiderio ai P&lt;em&gt;adri&lt;/em&gt; Spirituali, et anche a tre P&lt;em&gt;adri&lt;/em&gt; Generali ultimi, sono sempre stato assicurato, che la vocatione era da Dio, e specialmente dal P&lt;em&gt;adre &lt;/em&gt;Vincenzo Carraffa, il quale oltre il voto che prima havevo di dimandare questa missione, si contentò doppo qualche &lt;span&gt;mio &lt;/span&gt;apparecchio, che mi &lt;span&gt;obligassi &lt;/span&gt;al martirio con voto, che mi trovo havere al presente con mia somma allegrezza. L’istesso P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Carraffa mi diede doppo molte mie instanze il Crocifisso solito darsi à i Missionanti Indiani, se bene sì &lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;per &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;la &lt;/span&gt;di lui morte, come per le turbationi di Portogallo non si è mai potuto venire all’essecutione. Questa inspiratione non mi è partita mai dal cuore in questi 10. anni, e tanto è il desiderio che ne sento, che &lt;span&gt;non &lt;/span&gt;mi pare di potermi fingere cosa più grata et ambita, ne via più facile e sicura per corrispondere al molto che devo al Sig&lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt;r Iddio. E quando ciò V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; non approvasse la prego per il sangue pretiosissimo di Cristo ad accettare, et à valersi di una offerta che co&lt;em&gt;n &lt;/em&gt;ogni sincerità d’intentione le faccio; et è che V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; si compiaccia di servirsi di me per le missioni più laboriose, e per i luoghi più abbandonati e &lt;span&gt;sproveduti&lt;/span&gt;di tutta la Compagnia: Si contenti V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; di darmi questa consolatione da me sopra ogni altra desiderata. E se bene la strada di Portogallo è adesso impedita non di meno la supplico humilmente à compiacersi di annoverarmi tra primi missionanti; e mi riempirà di celeste contentezza. &lt;span&gt;e &lt;/span&gt;quì rassegnandomi tutto nelle mani della S&lt;em&gt;an&lt;/em&gt;ta &lt;span&gt;obedienza &lt;/span&gt;à V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; fò humile riverenza, et à suoi S&lt;em&gt;antissimi&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;Sagrificij &lt;/span&gt;mi raccom&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;m&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ando&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
