Detained by a two-day engagement in the presence of the lord father of your Glory, I have somewhat later arranged the bearer, through whom I might pay the yearly service of my customary solicitude concerning the solemnity of Saint Vincent; and that, amid the affairs in which your labor keeps watch for our welfare, a mind ever dutiful might offer the homage of due devotion. It suffices, then, for the consolation of my longing, if the health of us all rests, after God, in your prosperity. For the rest, it cannot be received without some misgiving that we seem to be passed by on your way to the province through Sapaudia by roundabout routes.
