&lt;p&gt;Credo che causerà gran maraviglia ad ognuno, ch’una persona tale, quale io sono, ciò è a dire uno tanto ignorante, che non sà ne anco leggere in tavola, ma quello, che più mi dispiace senza spirito (cosa che devo piangere con lagrime di sangue) una persona tale dico habbia ardire di parlare di andare all’Indie; ma ben m’avvego &lt;em&gt;Padre &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;[&lt;/span&gt;mio] esser queste voci della mia diffidenza, le q&lt;em&gt;ua&lt;/em&gt;li non potranno gia mai distogliermi dalla gia incominciata impresa; anzi piglio via più animo per tirarla avanti; impercio che essendo io pieno di tanti peccati, et imperfettioni è segno evidente, che questa mia vocatione non può essere se non di Dio, fondata nel sangue pretioso di Giesù Christo, impetratami dalla nostra Sig&lt;em&gt;nora&lt;/em&gt;per mezo del mio dolcissimo Capitano S&lt;em&gt;an &lt;/em&gt;Fran&lt;em&gt;ces&lt;/em&gt;co Xa&lt;em&gt;verio, &lt;/em&gt;non potendo io per quelli meritar altro che l’inferno; ne devo sgomentarmi punto per esser inhabile et ignora&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;te havendo in questa impresa per compagno l’istesso Dio come lo disse in S&lt;em&gt;an &lt;/em&gt;Matteo a 28 &lt;em&gt;euntes ergo docete &lt;span&gt;&amp;amp; &lt;/span&gt;ecce ego vobiscum sum&lt;/em&gt;. Che dunque dubbita V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; di concedermi la mia bramata India haverò per guida Christo, lui supplirà a tutto cio, che di habilità, e talenti sarà necessario. Prego V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; per quel sangue, ch’ha sparso il mio Sig&lt;em&gt;nor&lt;/em&gt;e, e per li meriti della Regina degl’Angioli che mi voglia dare questa volta qualche buona nuova insieme con la sua S&lt;em&gt;anta &lt;/em&gt;Benedittione. per fine a i santi Sacrificij et orationi di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;molto mi racomando&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
