              <text>&lt;p&gt;Molto R&lt;em&gt;everen&lt;/em&gt;do in &lt;em&gt;Christ&lt;/em&gt;o &lt;span&gt;P&lt;em&gt;adre &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;N&lt;em&gt;ostro&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pax&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Christ&lt;/em&gt;i&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Mi ralegro com questa minima comp&lt;em&gt;agni&lt;/em&gt;a per gl’haver&lt;sup&gt;a&lt;/sup&gt; dato Iddio per augumentarla nello spirito, e particolarm&lt;em&gt;en&lt;/em&gt;te nel Zelo della salute de mondo, tutto tal nuovo Padre: tanto desiderato de tutti li suoi figli: Prego donque il Sig&lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt;re, E la sua Santissima Madre, che concedino a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternit&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;a &lt;/span&gt;molti anni di vita, acciò possa augumentare la Comp&lt;em&gt;agni&lt;/em&gt;a in ogni sorte de virtu.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Sono gia molti, che Iddio mi chiama nel Oriente, e li continui impulsi sono si efficaci, che altro bene non mi posso immaginare maggiore: che di vivere nel Oriente tra le persecutioni, e li patimenti, che colà si patiscono per amore del mio buono Gesu; E li continui impulsi mi sforzano a sprostarmi alli piedi di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternit&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;a &lt;/span&gt;dimandandogli &lt;em&gt;per viscera IESU&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Christ&lt;/em&gt;i a volermi dare licença per potere corispondere alle inspirationi divine, le quali mi chiamano com tanta efficacia nel Oriente, per che non voria haver de dar conto a Iddio nel giorno del giuditio di non haviere corisposto alli suoi chiamamenti.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Sto studiando di presente la Physica, e l’anno che viene la Mecha[&lt;em&gt;nica&lt;/em&gt;]; E d’eta di 23. anni tiempo attissimo per dedicarme a Ìddio nell’Oriente. Prego di nuovo a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternit&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;a &lt;/span&gt;me conceda questa prima gratia, che gli dimando; cioè di darme Licença per andare all’India; E disiderarei ricevere questo si segnalato favore di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternit&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;a &lt;/span&gt;solam&lt;em&gt;en&lt;/em&gt;te, E che questi superiori non me potessero impedire questa vocatione si segnalata. E per fine prego a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aterni&lt;/em&gt;ta della sua santa benedictione. di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternit&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
