&lt;p&gt;Comincio à risperare l’adempimento de miei antichi desiderij già mai diminuiti, ma adesso più che mai accesi, ed infocati dalle nuove, che da costà vengono della già aperta porta à quei, che desideravano impiegarsi nella missioni dell’Indie, per cagione della dichiaratione fatta dalla Maestà Catolica sopra l’editt&lt;em&gt;o&lt;/em&gt; fatto per l’Italiani, acciò n&lt;em&gt;on&lt;/em&gt; passassero all’Indie, che non era sua volontà il negare il passaggio à Padri, mà solo à seculari. Ed anco per la tregua fatta da Portughesi, come scrivono, co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; Giapponesi, contro l’Olandesi, conche vien aperta a nuova la porta della missione del Giappone. Ed ò fossi io uno di quei fortunati, che s’impiegheranno in raccogliere messe tanto copiosa, ò coltivare campo si ampio, ed inaffiarlo col proprio sangue! Felice me se arriverò à questi giorni! E spero con l’intercessione del S&lt;em&gt;an&lt;/em&gt;to Ap&lt;em&gt;osto&lt;/em&gt;lo dell’Indie, e del P&lt;em&gt;adre &lt;/em&gt;Marcello, e con l’orationi di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; arrivarci, n&lt;em&gt;on&lt;/em&gt; conoscendo cosa che possa impedire l’adempimento di si pij desiderij, che i miei peccati, i q&lt;em&gt;ua&lt;/em&gt;li annegati nel Sangue pretiosissimo di Chr&lt;em&gt;ist&lt;/em&gt;o Nostro bene, più tosto faciliteranno il negotio, chè ‘l difficulteranno. Di me V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; colla venuta del mio P&lt;em&gt;ad&lt;/em&gt;re Pro&lt;em&gt;vincia&lt;/em&gt;le da lui stesso potrà informarsi, ese n&lt;em&gt;on&lt;/em&gt; vede cosa, che m’impedisca la supplico &lt;em&gt;in visceribus Christi&lt;/em&gt; à consolarmi: Conchè mi raccomando alli S&lt;em&gt;an&lt;/em&gt;ti Sacrificij ed orationi di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità;&lt;/em&gt; allaq&lt;em&gt;ua&lt;/em&gt;le prego dal Cielo feliciss&lt;em&gt;im&lt;/em&gt;e le feste della S&lt;em&gt;anta&lt;/em&gt; Pasqua.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
