              <text>&lt;p&gt;Molto Re&lt;em&gt;veren&lt;/em&gt;do in &lt;em&gt;Christo&lt;/em&gt; Pad&lt;em&gt;re &lt;/em&gt;N&lt;em&gt;ost&lt;/em&gt;ro&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;ax&lt;span&gt; C&lt;/span&gt;hristi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;La raggione, perche sono dimorato tanto scrivere a V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; sopra la mia vocatione all’Indie, essendo passati gia cinque mesi, no&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; è stata l’essermi in quella intepidito, perche, come da tante circostanze hò compreso, essendo cosa da Dio, che già mi hà destinato per operario di quelle parti, và sempre perfettionandosi, staccandomi da quanto è in Europa; ma il sapere che no&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; vi è occasione per adesso, disponendolo cossì Iddio per altri suoi consegli. Nondimeno come che questa speranza differita sopra modo mi affligga desiderando quanto più presto si può vedermi dove Iddio mi chiama, determinai di Venire a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; come quella, che sola può consolarmi in cosa di tanto servitio di Dio. Per questo co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; tutto l’affetto dell’animo mio, et anche co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; le lagrime all’occhi la prego che no&lt;em&gt;n &lt;/em&gt;dia la repulsa a questi miei desiderii. Desidero che V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt;, gia che da parte del P&lt;em&gt;adre &lt;/em&gt;Vincezo di santa memoria, hò havuto, per mani del nostro P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Rettore il crocifisso co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; l’aviso per l’Indie, del che ne può dare piena informatione a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; il P&lt;em&gt;adre&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;Secretario; lo confermi, dandomi la sua benedittione, e licenza d’andare all’Indie, per quando Iddio resterà servito che si ponga in essecutione. Il che no&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; mi sarei mosso a cercare a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; se Iddio no&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; mi havesse prevenuto co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; certa speranza d’haverlo a co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;seguire. Co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;fesso a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; la verità, che da questo dipende tutta l’allegrezza di mia vita, vedendo posto in sicuro l’adempimento del voto, co&lt;em&gt;n &lt;/em&gt;che alcuni anni fà mi consacrai alle missioni dell’Indie. E se bene è vero che mi sento tirare al Giappone, per dove, come V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; mi disse, &lt;span style="text-decoration: line-through;"&gt;erano&lt;/span&gt; sono necessarii operarii fatti, no&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; di meno, secondo a me pare, no&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; nascerebbe inco&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;veniente l’apparecchiarmi nell’Indie, ma di questo tratterò co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; Vostra P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; quando sarà levato l’impedime&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;to, che tiene adesso serrata la porta; per hora la prego per l’amore che porta al sangue di Giesù Christo, che mi voglia concedere la licenza, prescindendo dal tempo in che s’havrà ad esseguire. Ne dubito, che, gia che mi ha concesso l’adempimento della mia vocatione alla Compagnia, mi habbia hora a concedere quello dell’Indie; obligandomi co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; questa gratia a tener sempre memoria di V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; in ogni parte che starò, et in che esercitio mi imporrà l’Ubbidienza, et à ricompensarla co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; orationi a Dio per V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt;, alli cui Santi Sacrificii, et orationi molto mi raccomando.&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;
