Gregorius Amandino domestico.
Conſfidentes quod gloria vestra se in amicorum $10-
rum solatiis devotam semper exhibeat, eorum vobis
causas commendare quos diligitis studemus. Alque
ideo 8alutantes pelimus ut gloriosus ſilius noster Gre-
gorius, * quales vos hic habvit, illic tales inveniat; et
tam apud gloriosum filium nostrum Leontium, quam
alibi quocunque necesse fuerit, gloriz vestrz solatia
conSequatur, ac magnam in vobis consolationem
inveniat; et quantum possibile est, ne cuiquam inju-
Slz possit afflictioni vel gravamini s8ubjacere, gloriz
veslrz 80llicitudo $studio vigilanti provideat ut tran-
quillo maturoque hoe 8tudeat consilio declinare:
quatenus dum vos, sicut decet, adjutores habuerit, et
ipse et nos amplius cognoscere valeamus, quia sicut
de gloria veswa presumimus, non ad faciem, sed,
quod est valde laudabile, puras nostris amicitias exhi-
bere. |
