Pur essendo già giunta questa Solennità, vengo di nuovo confidato nell’intercessione di questa Potentiss&lt;em&gt;im&lt;/em&gt;a Sig&lt;em&gt;nor&lt;/em&gt;a nostra à dimandare à V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; la desiderata gratia, e supplicandola in suo nome, à non lasciar passare quest’occasione di consolarmi, benche di ciò conosca indegnissimo. E certo se per i miei peccati non meritassi ricevere tanta gratia, non potrei non vivere afflittissimo, perche non conseguirei il fine, per il quale sono entrato nella Compagnia, essendo che uno dei fini principalissimi, che mi mossero à ciò, fù, il desiderio grande, e la speranza, che concepij, di ottenere facilissimante licenza, di andar a coltivare la vigna piantata, ed inaffiata da copiosi sudori dell’ Apostolo glori&lt;em&gt;osi&lt;/em&gt;ss&lt;em&gt;im&lt;/em&gt;o dell’Indie, S&lt;em&gt;an &lt;/em&gt;Francesco Saverio, che simile desiderio, m’impetrò, e m’infuse col leggere la sua santiss&lt;em&gt;im&lt;/em&gt;a vita. Per l’amore adunq&lt;em&gt;ue&lt;/em&gt; di S&lt;em&gt;an&lt;/em&gt; Francesco, e della Beatiss&lt;em&gt;im&lt;/em&gt;a Vergine Sig&lt;em&gt;nor&lt;/em&gt;a N&lt;em&gt;ostr&lt;/em&gt;a Supplico di nuovo V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; à contentarsi, di condescendere à così giusta dimanda, con dar adempimento à questo, dirò non mio, ma suo desiderio.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
