              <text>&lt;p&gt;Molto R&lt;em&gt;everen&lt;/em&gt;do in &lt;em&gt;Christo &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;ad&lt;/em&gt;re N&lt;em&gt;ost&lt;/em&gt;ro&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pax&lt;span&gt; Christi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;A segno manifesto che Iddio mi voglia fare la gratia d’esser mandato all’Indie, devo attribuire l’essersi aperta la strada di Portogallo, à tempo ch’io mi trovo vicino al termine dè miei studij, onde con questa mia vengo con ogni humiltà à buttarmi à piedi di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternit&lt;/em&gt;a con supplicarla, che si degni ricordarsi di tante promesse fattemi, cioe che offerendosi l’occasione non si sarebbe scordata di me, dandomi con questo modo quasi sicurezza d’havermi à concedere la sospiratiss&lt;em&gt;im&lt;/em&gt;a gratia. Gia è venuta l’occasione, che mi resta da dubitare? P&lt;em&gt;ad&lt;/em&gt;re N&lt;em&gt;ost&lt;/em&gt;ro vorrei potere spiegare à V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternit&lt;/em&gt;a l’affetto del mio cuore, e l’allegrezza che sent&lt;em&gt;o &lt;/em&gt;dal pensare, che forse dentro quest’anno arriverò al termine, al quale hò sospirato tant’anni; gia parmi d’havere ottenuto da V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternit&lt;/em&gt;a la gratia, onde io segno di gratitudine per il singolariss&lt;em&gt;im&lt;/em&gt;o beneficio fattomi offerisco à V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; la metà di quanto farò e patirò sino alla morte. Sono ricorso al mio P&lt;em&gt;ad&lt;/em&gt;re Ret&lt;em&gt;to&lt;/em&gt;re e l’hò pregato che si degnasse d’intercedere &lt;em&gt;per &lt;/em&gt;me appresso di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternit&lt;/em&gt;a e m’hà promesso di farlo, onde io in riguardo particolarmente suo spero arrivare all’intento. Che se non volesse mandarmi all’Indie Orientali, m’offero d’andare alla Persia, risolutiss&lt;em&gt;im&lt;/em&gt;o d’impiegare il rest&lt;span&gt;o&lt;/span&gt; della mia vita in servitio degl’Infedeli, per tanto mi pongo nelle mani di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternit&lt;/em&gt;a prontiss&lt;em&gt;im&lt;/em&gt;o ad andare dovunque mi comanderà un suo cenno: non lasciarò fra questo tempo di pregare il glorioso Apostolo dell’Indie ad inspirare à V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternit&lt;/em&gt;a che mi conceda la gratia et à formarmi buono instromento &lt;span&gt;p&lt;em&gt;er&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; si gloriose imprese. Conche à S&lt;em&gt;an&lt;/em&gt;ti Sagrif&lt;em&gt;ici&lt;/em&gt; di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternit&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;a&lt;/span&gt; mi racc&lt;em&gt;omando&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
