Hora finalmente essendo io stato benche indegno assunto al primo grado della Comp&lt;em&gt;agni&lt;/em&gt;a, e ritrovandomi nel principio de' miei studii, di patria Milanese d'anni .19., di Lettere Humanista di .2. anni, ho deliberato col conseglio de miei Superiori scuoprire a V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; come io veramente desidero spender la vita mia in qual si voglia parte dell'Indie, e massime in quella dove p&lt;em&gt;er &lt;/em&gt;compimento delle fatiche potessi p&lt;em&gt;er&lt;/em&gt; premio spargere il sangue p&lt;em&gt;er&lt;/em&gt; quello, che p&lt;em&gt;er&lt;/em&gt; me lo sparse si largamente in Croce; e questo sempre ho desiderato, e sempre nelle mie orationi ho chieduto con grand'instanza al Sig&lt;em&gt;no&lt;/em&gt;re, e sento haver da Dio forze si spirituali, come corporali p&lt;em&gt;er&lt;/em&gt; sostenere qual si voglia fatica, e travaglio. Sperando dunq&lt;em&gt;ue&lt;/em&gt; ottenere tanta gratia, vengo con questa mia humilmente ad offerirmi a V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;con ogni larghezza di cuore, e prontezza d'animo supplichevolmente chiedendoli vogli adempire quanto prima questo mio desiderio a maggior gloria di Dio, e bene mio; con che faccio fine facendoli humilmente riverenza, e raccomandandomi a suoi S&lt;em&gt;an&lt;/em&gt;ti Sacriffici.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;D&lt;em&gt;i&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
