Che se bene di cio ne’l’hò in altro tempo instantemente pregato; adesso più che mai con tutto l’affetto del mio cuore per quanto ama il bene spirituale d’un suo indegno figliuolo, e la conversione di qualche anima, che Dio vorrà operare per mezzo mio, di nuovo la prego, che accetti V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;quest’offerta, che di me le fò, e voglia con tanti, che manderà a quei regni, degnarsi di mandare me ancora. E certamente mi dà speranza grande d’havere a ricevere da Dio per mezzo di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;gratia sì singolare lo straordinario desiderio, che hora ne sento; solendo Iddio prima di fare il beneficio donare un’ardente desiderio di riceverlo. e se bene sono nuovo nella religi&lt;em&gt;on&lt;/em&gt;e non di meno e la vocatione, che Dio adesso mi dà, e l’essempij d’altri, che sono stati mandati ò più nuovi, ò poco più antichi di me, e la misericordia di Dio, che supplirà alla mia insufficienza, et imperfettioni, ponno essere a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;sofficienti raggioni, e motivi di non negarmi adesso questa gratia, che una volta mi haverebbe da concedere se non per merito, al meno per l’importunita delle preghiere, con che finisco chiedendole humilmente la sua Santa benedittione.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
