              <text>&lt;p&gt;M&lt;em&gt;olt&lt;/em&gt;o &lt;em&gt;Reveren&lt;/em&gt;do in &lt;em&gt;Christo &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;adre &lt;/em&gt;N&lt;em&gt;ostro&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;L’obligo che ho di cercare qualsia La volontà ch&lt;em&gt;e&lt;/em&gt; Dio per poterla perfett&lt;em&gt;amen&lt;/em&gt;te eseguire mi fa ricorrere come ad interpretre di essa à V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;span&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;esponendogli con queste poche righe il desiderio che La divina Bontà d’alcuni anni in qua si è degnata contro ogni mio merito communicarmi di impiegare nell’Indie a benefitio di quell’anime questo poco di vita che mi resta, sperando in questa maniera di ricomprare il tempo che ho fin qui si malamente speso. È ben ven che nell’esecutione di si bon pensiero mi cagiona qualche perplessità la vera notitia che ho della mia molta insufficienza, per la, quale dubito d’essere instrumento inhabile per una si grande impresa, conoscendo benissimo in me la mediocrità della sanita, et ingegno, la debbolezza dellà memoria, il poco talento di predicare si per l’imped&lt;em&gt;imen&lt;/em&gt;to naturale della lingua, come anche per la penuria delle parole, una conscienza scrupolosissima et fuor dimodo perplessa nel operare, la natura assai timida et malinconica sottoposta à molestissimi pensieri, quali per alcuni anni mi hanno grandemente travagliato et poco meno che stravolta l’imaginatione, se bene al presente sono d’essi in gran parte sollevato. Nulla di meno io crederei che la Divina Bontà giache si è compiaciuta di favorirmi di si sante inspirationi fusse con la sua infinita potenza per supplire a tuti questi miei fisici et molti altri morali difetti, solendo essa talvolta elegere per imprese grandissime le cose piu vili et abiette. Ho voluto tutto questo con ogni schiettezza aprire alla sua molta Charità, accioche in un negotio di tanta importanza risolva quello che giudicara esser maggior gloria di Dio, la cui santissima volontà stimarò perfettamente esequire con obbedire puntualmente a i prudenti consegli di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternit&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;a &lt;/span&gt;a cui per fine faccio humilis&lt;em&gt;sim&lt;/em&gt;a riverenza con raccomandare me et questo mi bon desiderio a suoi santi sacrificij&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;m&lt;em&gt;ol&lt;/em&gt;to &lt;em&gt;R&lt;/em&gt;everen&lt;em&gt;da &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
