&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pax Christi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Non potrei facilmente spiegare l’allegrezza del mio cuore nella elettione della &lt;span&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;S&lt;em&gt;ua &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;dalla quale spetto l’adempimento de miei longhi desiderij, de quali, per essere à bastanza informato, essendomi stato et amorevolissimo superiore, et amatissimo Padre, non occorre, che quì ripeti.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Solo la vorrei pregare &lt;em&gt;in visceribus Iesu &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Christi, Beatissimę &lt;span&gt;Matris&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, et per amore del mio S&lt;em&gt;antissimo &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;Ap&lt;em&gt;osto&lt;/em&gt;lo delle Indie, à ricordarsi di me povero bandito, e che vedendo la terra di Promissione, ne fui cacciato. Le repplicate mie istanze à due ultimi &lt;/span&gt;P&lt;em&gt;adri &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;G&lt;em&gt;ener&lt;/em&gt;ali di felice memoria, mi fecero ottenere quello, che piango perduto: e l’assicuro, che l’afflitto mio cuore non può star quieto, insino che non sarà al suo centro delle sospirate Indie. Io mi sento /ò Padre &lt;/span&gt;N&lt;em&gt;ostr&lt;/em&gt;o&lt;em&gt;/ &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;ogni giorno in varie occasioni à dare tali assalti nel cuore, che mi fanno sospirare profondamente, e mi sento, ad’avampare d’una fiam&lt;em&gt;m&lt;/em&gt;a ardentissima che però vado temprAndo con la speranza, che hò tutta, tutta, tutta nella pietosissima, et amorevolissima carità della &lt;/span&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;S&lt;em&gt;ua &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;che sò, che non saprà, per essermi stato Padre sì buono, in questa mia ultima volontà, defraudarmi del mio intento. Il &lt;/span&gt;P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; Vicenzo Caraffa &lt;/span&gt;N&lt;em&gt;ostr&lt;/em&gt;o [amore.to] G&lt;em&gt;e&lt;/em&gt;n&lt;em&gt;er&lt;/em&gt;ale&lt;span&gt; nelle sue che tengo, m’assicura, e promette; che nelle prime mosse, io sarei stato uno degli eletti per le Indie, e diceva d’haverne già ragione, per esservi già andato in parte, ma di poi nella com&lt;em&gt;m&lt;/em&gt;une disgratia scacciato, e &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;//&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;che stassi sicuro, che havrei l’intento; ma essendomi morto un tale aman&lt;em&gt;tissim&lt;/em&gt;o &lt;span&gt;mio Padre, ohime che con lui cadetero le mie speranze; ma si sono ravivate nella Persona della &lt;/span&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;S&lt;em&gt;ua&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt; avanti alla quale prostrata con le lagrime sù gli occhi ne supplico d’una minima lettera dell’alfebetto uno I. che subito ne volo, ne mi potrà&lt;span style="text-decoration: line-through;"&gt;nno&lt;/span&gt; trattenere intoppo alcuno; son pronto à far tutto questo viaggio à piedi, senza altro che &lt;span style="text-decoration: line-through;"&gt;con&lt;/span&gt; con la confidanza in Dio. &lt;em&gt;Ecce ego, mitte me&lt;/em&gt;. Vero è, che troppo ardisco, ma mi sento à consumare, e ben trovo non potere scancellare le mie infinite colpe, che con il sangue, ò à contante di sudori.

E prostrato à suoi piedi ne chiedo la sua Benedittione, et adempimento de miei desiderii.
