              <text>&lt;p&gt;Molto Rev&lt;em&gt;eren&lt;/em&gt;do in &lt;em&gt;Christo&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;P&lt;span&gt;ax &lt;/span&gt;C&lt;span&gt;hristi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Cossì come Iddio mi va rinovando, e riaccendendo per sua Misericordia l’antichi miei desiderii d’andar all’Indie, e d’impiegar tutti li miei sudori, la vita, et il sangue in suo servitio; mi sento io forzato di farne parte a V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt;, dalla quale puo venire il loro adempimento. Padre, no&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; si può credere la pena, che mi da questo desiderio, e speranza, perche già mi vorrei veder predicando, e battezzando &lt;em&gt;l’Infedeli&lt;/em&gt; ò nella Cina, ò nel Giappone ò in qualsivoglia altra parte dell’Indie, dove e più si fatichi, e più speranza vi sia di dar la vita per il nome di Giesù; Per questo mi vogli V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; consolare, con darmi qualche speranza d’haver, quando s’apra la porta, a darmi la desiderata licenza, e la sua santa benedittione, mettendo in essecutione l’intentione della Santa memoria del P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Vincenzo Carafa, il quale, come V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; sà, poco prima che si partisse per il cielo mi mandò il Crocifisso, e mi fece avisare come io era eletto per l’Indie.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;D’un'altra cosa supplico V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; et è che essendoci stato detto, che finito questo anno della Fisica habbiamo da uscire dal ritiramento contro la volontà d’ogn’uno, per l’esperienza del profitto, che in esso sentiamo, no&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; permetta che restiamo defraudati dal finire in questo santo luogo il corso della Filosofia. E no&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; si può credere quanto io fondi la speranza d’haver a co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;seguire l’andata all’Indie nel studiare tutta la Filosofia in questo Santo ritirame&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;to, dove co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;grandissima allegrezza del mio spirito insin’adesso son vissuto. Per tanto prego V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;per viscera Iesu Christi&lt;/em&gt;, che vogli co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;solare noi suoi figli, e quasi tutti ricevuti da V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; nella Compagnia, co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; concederci che studiamo la Metafisica nel ritirame&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;to, e se tal gratia co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt;seguirò prometto di applicare ad intentione di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; tutte l’opre buone, che in quell’anno farò. Co&lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; che mi raccomando a Santi Sacrificii, et orationi 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;Figlio, e servo indegnis&lt;em&gt;si&lt;/em&gt;mo&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
