&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pax Chri&lt;span&gt;sti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Alcuni mesi sono scrisse à V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;per continuare l’istanza per quello à che S&lt;em&gt;ua &lt;/em&gt;D&lt;em&gt;ivina &lt;/em&gt;M&lt;em&gt;aest&lt;/em&gt;à s’è degnato chiamarmi, dico nella Miss&lt;em&gt;ion&lt;/em&gt;e dell’Indie, e particol&lt;em&gt;armen&lt;/em&gt;te al Giappone, nel che V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;mi consolò con buone promesse; atteso l’adito, che si ci dasse à quello. E che miglior adito posso mai promettermi di questo, che intendiamo in questi giorni intorno alla Cina, e del campo che s’apre in quella per la semenza del Santo Evangelio, e gloria di Christo, essendo tanto congiunta col Giappone, e per la comunione che tengono nel culto de loro Dei. Però P&lt;em&gt;adre &lt;/em&gt;N&lt;em&gt;ostro &lt;/em&gt;da parte del N&lt;em&gt;ostro &lt;/em&gt;S&lt;em&gt;ignore &lt;/em&gt;Giesù Chr&lt;em&gt;ist&lt;/em&gt;o, il servitio di cui io sola&lt;em&gt;men&lt;/em&gt;te spetto in questo, prego V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità; &lt;/em&gt;e se potessi spiegarli la mia dimanda col sangue del Mio cuore, à mirare in quest’occasione questa povera creatura, che tanto deve al suo Sig&lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt;re si per l’obligo de peccati commessi, come per gratitudine de beneficij ricevuti, e darli una volta occas&lt;em&gt;ion&lt;/em&gt;e di potere corrispondere à suoi debiti con le fatighe in servitio del suo cretore, e dove e chiamata da lui.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Sò che V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;sa molto bene il costume Divino di eleggere gl’impotenti alle sue imprese, per mostrare l’assoluto suo dominio in tutte le cose, e cosi n&lt;em&gt;on &lt;/em&gt;ho io di che farmi à dietro vedendomi si fiacco di forze sp&lt;em&gt;iritua&lt;/em&gt;li, e nel principio de studij; ma ben si di sperare grande&lt;em&gt;men&lt;/em&gt;te dipendendo total&lt;em&gt;men&lt;/em&gt;te da Dio che si continua&lt;em&gt;men&lt;/em&gt;te mi chiama. Et all’ultimo non potrò al meno non esser buono per servire immediata&lt;em&gt;men&lt;/em&gt;te à quelli, che in quest’opera s’impiegaranno. Spero da V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;in riguardo della gloria di Chr&lt;em&gt;ist&lt;/em&gt;o più di quello che sò dimandare; Con che buttato à suoi piedi domando humil&lt;em&gt;ment&lt;/em&gt;e la s&lt;em&gt;an&lt;/em&gt;ta beneditt&lt;em&gt;ion&lt;/em&gt;e con raccoma&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;darmi a S&lt;em&gt;an&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;ti&lt;/span&gt; Sacrificij et or&lt;em&gt;atio&lt;/em&gt;ni di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt;.&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;Indeg&lt;em&gt;nissi&lt;/em&gt;mo servo e figlio in Chr&lt;em&gt;ist&lt;/em&gt;o&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
