&lt;p&gt;Eccoli &lt;span&gt;à &lt;/span&gt;suoi piedi l’ultimo dei suoi figli, il quale pretende di non essere l’ultimo in godere delle gratie fatte dalla &lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;ivin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;a&lt;/span&gt; Maestà al suo amorevolissimo Padre. Tre giornate felicissime &lt;span&gt;s’è &lt;/span&gt;compia&lt;span&gt;c&lt;/span&gt;ciuto il &lt;em&gt;Signore&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span&gt;di &lt;/span&gt;darmi per mezzo di &lt;span&gt;V&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;ostr&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;a&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;aterni&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;tà&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span&gt;la &lt;/span&gt;prima quando ella si &lt;span&gt;degnò &lt;/span&gt;di ricevere nella Compagnia questo vilissimo instrumento; la seconda quando con indrizzo et approvatione sua &lt;span&gt;feci &lt;/span&gt;il voto d’andare all’Indie conforme l’intentione datamene dal &lt;em&gt;Padre&lt;/em&gt; Generale &lt;span&gt;passato &lt;/span&gt;di &lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Santissi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;ma&lt;/span&gt; memoria, la terza è stata il giorno di questo Santo Natale, quando ricevei la nuova della gratia fatta dalla &lt;span&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;ivin&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;a&lt;/span&gt; Misericordia à tutta la Compagnia in persona sua.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Aspetto con ferma fiducia la &lt;span&gt;quarta &lt;/span&gt;quando &lt;span&gt;V&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;aterni&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;tà&lt;/span&gt; si compiacerà farmi dare il desideratissimo annuncio della mia partenza per &lt;span&gt;l’&lt;/span&gt;Indie. Cognosco per singolar gratia della Madre &lt;span&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;antissi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;ma&lt;/span&gt;, che passando ella di quà io havessi commodità di poterli scoprire l’animo mio circa questo &lt;span&gt;negotio&lt;/span&gt;, et ella con tanta carità mi &lt;span&gt;promete[ss]e &lt;/span&gt;più volte, che m’&lt;span&gt;h&lt;/span&gt;av&lt;span&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;rebbe aiutato in questo particolare significandomi singolarmente nel partire di &lt;span&gt;volersene &lt;/span&gt;ricordare. Sò, che adesso il &lt;span&gt;Sig&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;re&lt;/span&gt; permette, che vi siano molti impedimenti, che &lt;span&gt;chiudono &lt;/span&gt;il passaggio à quelle parti tanto da me desiderate&lt;span&gt;; &lt;/span&gt;Ma io intendo solamente in questa di &lt;span&gt;pregarla &lt;/span&gt;di nuovo per l’amore, che porta alla &lt;span&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;antissi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;ma&lt;/span&gt; Madre, e per il &lt;span&gt;sangue &lt;/span&gt;pretiosissimo, col quale il Redentore del Mondo nella sua Circonci&lt;span&gt;s&lt;/span&gt;ione, che hoggi cominciamo à celebrare, comprò à se l’Augustissimo nome di Giesù, et à noi de suoi Compagni, che nella prima occasione di queste missioni secondo la mia vocatione si compiaccia ricordarsi delle sue promesse.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;//&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Ho ferma speranza nelle divine misericordie, e carità straordinaria di &lt;span&gt;V&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;ostr&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;a&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;aterni&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;a &lt;/span&gt;verso di me, che quanto prima otterrò per mezzo suo la maggior felicità, che io possa desiderare in questa vita. Tra tanto secondo il mio voto, non solo &lt;span&gt;meli &lt;/span&gt;offerisco per l’Indie orientali, e per quella parte di esse, nella quale con le maggiori fattiche, e patimenti possa &lt;span&gt;congiongere &lt;/span&gt;il maggior servitio divino, aiuto dell’anime e profitto spirituale mio proprio&lt;span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; et in speciale per il Giappone; ma anche li &lt;span&gt;fò &lt;/span&gt;un assolutissima offerta di tutto me stesso, e di tutte le cose in qualsivoglia modo à me appartenenti per &lt;span&gt;esser &lt;/span&gt;da lei impiegato, et esercitato in cose, che siano di maggior gloria di Dio, aiuto&lt;span&gt;dell’anime &lt;/span&gt;altrui, mia &lt;span&gt;mortificatione&lt;/span&gt;, e profitto spirituale in qualsivoglia parte del mondo. Del che la supplico per il bene che&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;a&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt; desidera all’anima mia, si voglia servire &lt;span&gt;nell’occasioni&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span&gt;È &lt;/span&gt;tale la fiduc&lt;span&gt;c&lt;/span&gt;ia, che ho in &lt;span&gt;V&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;aterni&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;a&lt;em&gt;,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; che ardisco d’avanzarmi nelle dimande&lt;span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; e chiederli col medesimo affetto, et ardore l’istessa gratia della missione indiana per &lt;span&gt;M&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;aestr&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;o&lt;/span&gt; Gio&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;em&gt;vanni&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Andrea Pallavicino, al quale, perche spero d’amarlo con vera carità, non posso far dimeno di &lt;span&gt;desiderare&lt;/span&gt;, e cercare à tutto mio potere ciò che desidero per mio maggior bene. So che egli non ha bisogno dell’opera mia appresso di lei, ma godo di fare le mie parti, et unire le mie con le di lui domande, accioche in riguardo d’esso mi sia concesso quello, di che son indegnissimo. Prostrati dunque tutti due unitamente à suoi piedi la supplichiamo di nuovo per le viscere del buon Giesù della richiesta gratia, e gli off&lt;span&gt;e&lt;/span&gt;riamo di voler usare ogni nostro potere appresso la Madre &lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span&gt;antissi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;ma&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; accioche li conceda tutto ciò, che desidera per se, e per tutta la Compagnia.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Aspettiamo con ogni riverenza la sua beneditt&lt;span&gt;i&lt;/span&gt;one. &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
