              <text>&lt;p&gt;Molto Rev&lt;em&gt;eren&lt;/em&gt;do in &lt;em&gt;Cristo&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;ad&lt;/em&gt;re N&lt;em&gt;ost&lt;/em&gt;ro.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pax Christi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Se io potessi in queste poche rige dimostrare a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;l’obligo, che per molti titoli tengo di dare la vita et il sangue per amor di &lt;em&gt;Christo&lt;/em&gt;, credo certo che la P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;S&lt;em&gt;u&lt;span&gt;a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;cooperarebbe, accio sodisfacessi a quest’obligo, concedendomi cio che li cerco, S’è degnata La D&lt;em&gt;ivina &lt;/em&gt;Bonta dal principio che io entrai nella Compa&lt;em&gt;gnia &lt;/em&gt;darmi un ardentissimo desiderio della missione nell’indie, qual desiderio essendo stato da me bene e spesso esaminato, e trovatolo sempre sodo e vero, mi spinse a farne instanza a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;con una Lettera, la quale per giusti e santi rispetti, il mio Maestro di Novitii P&lt;em&gt;adre &lt;/em&gt;Andrea di Gennaro non l’invio a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;parendoli primo fervore di spirito. Finalmente scrivo a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;questa matina dopo la sacra comunione della festa di Pentecoste per particolare inspiratione di Dio, pregandola con tutto l’affetto del core e con continue lagrime per le viscere di Giesù &lt;em&gt;Christo, &lt;/em&gt;che voglia darmi questa consolatione di mandarmi nell’indie, o in altro paese d’infedeli dove li parera per magior gloria di Dio, assicurandola che mi dara forza gratia, e cio che si ricerca per una tal impresa, Quel Dio che mi chiamò dal secolo alla Compa&lt;em&gt;gnia&lt;/em&gt; tanto miracolosamente quanto non mi conviene di raccontarlo tutto a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;per non fastidirla; Basta sol dire che havendo nel Collegio di Cosenza quasi tutti li Padri che mi opponevano un impedimento essentiale, per il che si rendeva quasi impossibile l’esser ricevuto, mi diede gratia di partirmi solo dalla Patria figliolo di sedici anni con pocha provisione di necessario, confidato nella sua providenza, a venirmene in Napoli dove tutti li Padri Consultori benche al principio facessero difficolta, con tutto cio come poi mi hanno confessato si sentivano tirare violentemente la volonta per ricevermi, il che mi è parso di far sapere a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;accio veda esser vera e soda vocatione di Dio, e non altro haver preteso Idio quando mi chiamò dal secolo alla Compa&lt;em&gt;gnia &lt;/em&gt;se non che io fussi defensore col sangue del suo S&lt;em&gt;antissimo &lt;/em&gt;nome. Del che fermissimamente spero che V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; mi consolarà, si per havermi parlato per ricevermi nella Comp&lt;em&gt;agni&lt;/em&gt;a a tempo che era Provinciale di Napoli visitando il collegio della città di Cosenza nella Calabria, si anche per fare che io seguiti l’esempii di due miei zii, l’uno chiamato il P&lt;em&gt;adre &lt;/em&gt;Gio&lt;em&gt;vanni &lt;/em&gt;Andrea Sambiasi vissuto e morto nella Compagnia con gran santita, et ardentissima vocatione dell’indie,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;//&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;l’altro chiamato il P&lt;em&gt;adre &lt;/em&gt;Francesco Sambiasi il quale vivendo ogi dì nella Cina mi chiama a seguitarne li suoi santi esempii. E con tal fine facendoli humilissima riverenza e pregandoli da Dio queste sante feste, li domando la sua santa benedittione.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Humilissimo Servo et inde&lt;em&gt;gnissi&lt;/em&gt;mo Figlio&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Gio&lt;em&gt;vanni&lt;/em&gt; Andrea Sambiasi&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
