&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;Quanto io resto ammirato, e stupito, che la &lt;span&gt;D&lt;em&gt;ivi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;na liberalità si degni, senza haver riguardo alcuno a miei demeriti di mantenermi ogni giorno piu viva nel cuore la vocatione all’Indie; altre tant&lt;em&gt;o&lt;/em&gt; obligato mi sento a corispondere a gratia si segnalata col repplicare a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; l’instanze&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;altre volte da me fatte per l’es&lt;em&gt;s&lt;/em&gt;ecutione del D&lt;em&gt;ivi&lt;/em&gt;no volere; al quale temo d’essermi mostrato troppo ritroso nel differire [fin a] quest hora il present officio; havendo voluto provare forsi troppo temerariamente se la grand’inspiratione che mi sento a questa missione, era vera&lt;em&gt;men&lt;/em&gt;te ordinatione del Sig&lt;em&gt;nore &lt;/em&gt;Iddio. Supplico per tanto V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; con tutto lo spirito &lt;span style="text-decoration: line-through;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt; per l’amore di &lt;em&gt;Christo &lt;/em&gt;n&lt;em&gt;ost&lt;/em&gt;ro &lt;em&gt;Signo&lt;/em&gt;re, che voglij con la sua cooperatione dar l’ultima mano&lt;sup&gt;a&lt;/sup&gt; all’opera in me comminciata, e proseguita con tanta patienza (supposta la mia poca corrispondenza] dalla D&lt;em&gt;ivi&lt;/em&gt;na bontà. E di gratia V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; si compiaccia di compatirmi, se con le mie reppliche son forsi tropp’importuno perche, oltre che il rimorso della conscienza mi fa esser tale, la paterna sua benignità anchora da lei altre volte meco usata mi da confidenza di poter con sicurezza ricorrere alla sua auttorità. A queste mie humilissime suppliche ho stimatò bene daggiungere il seguente breve ragguaglio del mio stato. [Mentovato] quest anno (che e il terzo della mia scuola) di lavoro nella vigna di Parma con l insegnar la Grammatica; dove se bene trovasi molto d’affàticare, me la pass&lt;span&gt;o&lt;/span&gt; per&lt;span&gt;ò&lt;/span&gt; con straordinaria sodisfattione. Prima d’esser applicato e questo ministero fui esaminato di Filosofia; e doppo l esame hebbi aviso di dover studiare Theologia quando ne fosse il tempo. Aggiungo anche per ultimo. che se nel far la scuola o altro officio della Religione havessi qualche difficoltà, potrei temere in questa mia vocatione di qualche illusione; ma il sentirmi ad ogni cosa indifferente, e l’esser stata approvata questa inspiratione dal mio P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Spirituale, il quale doppo matura consideratione fattavi sopra mi ha consigliato à scriverne di nuovo a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt;; mi da animo di poter passar senza timore di propria volonta quest ufficio con [cui] la quale di nuovo supplico della tanto bram&lt;em&gt;m&lt;/em&gt;ata gratia, et humilissima&lt;em&gt;men&lt;/em&gt;te [finisco]&lt;sup&gt;b&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
