Desideratissimz excellentiz vesirz 8cripla suScepi,

desiderio vestro congaudeo, quia dum expositionem
sacrorum verborum cupitis, quam $lricte ip$um au-

Si igitur vires salulis recepero, auctore omnipotente
Domino vestris desideriis parebo. Uro autem ut in
cunctis aclibus vestris gratia vos Superna custodiat,
quatenus in bono opere et aspirando vos repleat, 6
adjuvando conforiet.
