Però vedendo che S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;ua &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;ivina &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;M&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;aestà&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; sempre più m’accresce questo desiderio, m’è parso tempo di pregare V&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;che nell’occasioni si ricordi che la volo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;tà di Dio è ch’io lo serva &lt;em&gt;usque ad defatigationem&lt;/em&gt; nell’Indie, e questo celo prego p[er] quanto desidera che la gloria di DIO si propaghi se&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;m&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;pre più, e che il pretioso Sangue di Christo n&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;on&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; sia calpestato da quei gentili, e per qua&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;to ama la Santiss&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;im&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;a Vergine N&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;ost&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;ra Sig&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;ra, nella quale hò poste tutte le mie spera&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;ze, e da essa, e dalli due Campioni dell’Oriente S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;an &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Francesco Xaverio, e Carlo Spinola spero d’ottenere così gran gratia, benche per li miei peccati, e per l’ingratitudine con&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;’la quale ho corrisposto à ta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;ti altri beneficij mene sia affatto reso indegno. E quel che mi dà animo àcercare questo è il vedere che questo, IDDIO vuole da questo suo schiavo indegno, perche vedo evidenteme&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;te che se&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;m&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;pre più mi và dispone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;do à questo levandomi ogni affetto di patria, e di pare&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;ti ne permette che pensi ad altro disegno, chè àquesto, e fa ch’ogni mia attione à questo l’indrizzi, e continuame&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;te mi dà questo sentime&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;to che se no&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; farò&lt;sup&gt;a&lt;/sup&gt; qua&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;to potrò per andar all’Indie n’havrò da dare grandissimo conto &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;per&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;che à questo fine, e per questo mezzo mi pose nella Compagnia, e quando altro n&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;on&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; vi fusse acciò sicome mi sono offerto con li peccati per vittima infelice del Demonio, cosi m’offerisca per mezzo delle fatiche, e del Martirio in holocausto; emi protesto di volere insistere in questa istanza sino che misarà co&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;cessa perche vedo evidentemente che questa è la volontà di Dio; Finisco, per n&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;on&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; darli più inco&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;m&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;modo pregandolo che n&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;on&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; si vogli scordare di questo suo indegno figlio e servo; e prostrato a’ suoi piedi li domando la sua santa benedittione; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
