82:1
Videtur quidem de divina promissione diffidere,. quicunque minus de vestra prosperitate securus est. Sed si animum meum solida dignatione perpenditis, facilem intelligitis veniam ignaviae meae pro nimia trepidatione deberi. Quippe cum quicunque veraciter calholicorum nomen usurpant, pervigili prece Deo supplicare nunc debeant, ut vobis vota nostra illibata atque integra relaturis, et fideliter vicina conjungat, et feliciter adversa subjiciat. Sicque in rerum necessitate multiplici ambifariam vobis Christo propugnante contingat, et pars quae cupitur, et victoria quae debetur.
Whoever is less secure about your prosperity does indeed seem to distrust the divine promise. But if you weigh my mind with solid consideration, you will understand that an easy pardon is due to my cowardice on account of excessive trepidation. For since all who truly claim the name of Catholics ought now to supplicate God with ever-watchful prayer, that to you—who will render back our vows unimpaired and whole—He may both faithfully join what is near and happily subject what is adverse. And so, amid the manifold necessity of affairs, may there befall you, Christ fighting for you, on both sides both the portion which is desired and the victory which is owed.
凡對您的昌盛稍欠篤定之人，確實顯得像是不信神的應許。但若您以確實的體諒衡量我的心思，您便會明白：我的怯懦因過度的惶懼理當得著輕易的寬宥。因為凡真正僭稱公教之名者，如今皆當以警醒的祈禱向神懇求：願祂為您——就是那將把我們完好無損的祈願回獻的您——既忠實地聯合鄰近之事，又順利地制伏敵對之事。如此，在萬事之多重需要中，願基督為您爭戰，使您兩面皆得：既得所渴望的那份，又得所應得的勝利。
82:2
Quapropter si memoriæ meæ gratiam de animo vestro nutantem anxietatis tempus imminuit, famulus specialis salutationem quidem deferre non ausus, sed salutem vestram a Domino præstolaturus, satis suspenso attentoque animo servitium praesentis paginaedestinavi, primum de vestra, post de exercitus sanitate sollicitus. Unde, licet in Dei nomine per quoscunque transeuntes prospera cognoscamus, potestis tamen, piissimi domni, conjicere, quantum mihi dulcius erit, sicut me quibuscunque referentibus pascit illa sancti affectus recognitio, sic me rescriptio laetificet, in qua ad quamdam præsentiæ vicem verba vestra pro conspertibus adipisci, et subscriptionem pro manu merear osculari.
Wherefore, if a time of anxiety has diminished the favor of my memory as it wavers in your mind, I, your special servant—not daring indeed to offer a greeting, but awaiting your welfare from the Lord—have with a mind sufficiently suspended and attentive dispatched the service of this present page, anxious first for your health, then for that of the army. Wherefore, although in God's name we learn good news through whoever passes by, you can nonetheless, most pious lord, conjecture how much sweeter it will be to me—just as that acknowledgment of your holy affection feeds me through whoever reports it—so may a reply gladden me, in which, in place of a kind of presence, I may attain your words in lieu of your countenance, and merit to kiss your subscription in lieu of your hand.
故此，倘若焦慮之時削減了我在您心中搖動不定的記憶之情，我這特有的僕人——確實不敢遞上問安，卻要從主等候您的安康——便以相當懸切而專注的心，差呈此現今書頁之事奉，先為您的康健、後為軍隊的康健掛念。故此，雖然我們奉神之名藉任何過路之人得知佳音，然而，至虔之主啊，您仍可推想：這於我將何等更為甘美——正如那對您聖潔情意的認知藉任何傳報者滋養著我，願回信也如此使我歡喜，於其中，作為某種親在的替代，我得以您的話語代替您的容顏，並得配親吻您的簽名以代替您的手。
