Petition

R/mo Mons/re

Sono stato da sei in sette volte in casa di VS R/ma per consegnarle (conforme all’ordine suo) la mia Storia di Loreto, et per diversi accidenti mai gli ho potuto parlare.  Finalmente havendo io inteso, qualmente lei si parte di casa la mattina a buon’ hora, e resta a pranzo a palazzo, ne sole tornare, so non la sera tardi, mi sono risoluto mandarli la presente poliza, si per mia scusa, come per far con essa, quel che volevo far a bocca.

Hieri a punto il Sig/r Cardinale di Camerino, come Viceprotettore della S/ta Casa di Loreto, mi mandò a dire, per un suo, qualmente havea parlato con S. S/ta sopra di detta Historia, et impetrato gratia del Privilegio per lo stato ecclesiastico, et di piu che havea parlato sopra di cio con V.S. R/ma.  Hora io la priego, per l’amore e riverenza che porta alla Mad/a santissima, a voler procurare la speditione di detto Privilegio quanto prima, acciò l’opera non si piu trattenuta.  Ch’io gliene restaro con obligo perpetuo.  Et il suo libro ben ligato non gli mancherà.  Dal nostro Collegio a di 11 di Dicembre del 1597.

                                Di V.S. R/ma

Gli ricordo che non mi curo, ch’il Privilegio si stenda fuora dell Stato Eccl[esiast]ico

                                                        Aff/mo Servo in Chr[ist]o
