&lt;p&gt;P&lt;em&gt;ax &lt;/em&gt;C&lt;em&gt;hristi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Per le buone nuove della Cina, no&lt;em&gt;n &lt;/em&gt;solo sentii gran gusto per intendere, che si vada dilatando il Regno di Christo, come deve ogn’uno della Compagnia; ma ancora perche Iddio già comincia a mandare delle occasioni, in una delle quali spero senza dubbio d’haver a lasciare Europa; per questo dopò haver dato le debite gratie a Giesù Christo, che tanto si serve della sua Compagnia, mi parve bene di offerirmi a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;acciò disponga di me secondo il suo beneplacito. Non posso, Padre, spiegare l’accesi desiderii, che N&lt;em&gt;ostro &lt;/em&gt;S&lt;em&gt;igno&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;re &lt;/span&gt;per sua sola bontà, no&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;ostante la mia somma ingratitudine, e li miei infiniti mancame&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;ti, mi mette nel cuore, di vedermi in mezzo di qualche Gentilità manifestando il suo Santo Nome, no&lt;em&gt;n &lt;/em&gt;perdonando a travaglio veruno per suo amore, per cui non ricusarei di lasciar per sempre li studii, e stare in un cantone della Cina ò del Giappone, a tutti sconosciuto, se pur l’Obedienza lo comandi. Quel che principalmente mi hà fatto scrivere questa a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità, &lt;/em&gt;è il voler farla consapevole del mio animo, con dirli, che adesso, e per tutta la mia vita, ad ogni occasione, e necessità di soggetti per l’Indie no&lt;em&gt;n &lt;/em&gt;si scordi di mè, perche no&lt;em&gt;n &lt;/em&gt;mi potrà succedere cosa più grata in questa vita, che l’esser avisato dall’obedienza per andare a qualche terra de Gentili, che sia la più abbandonata, e piena di travagli; per potere per questa via mostratami da Dio assomigliarmi in qualche parte a Giesù Christo. per ultimo mi raccomando molto a suoi Santi Sagrificii, et orationi .&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;
