plurimum,
Mitto Tibi, vir fet. Reverende et Celeberrim
Sinica novissima mea, quae non alio consilio
edi curavi, quam ut exemplis alienis nostrus
excitarem. Interea plura de his rebus
ad me sunt perscripta atque inter alia:
multos denuo patres jesuitas appulisse ad
portum Macaensem, idq Monarcham Sinaru
magna cum voluptate intellexisse. Pontifice
Romanum etiam centum millia scutatorum
nuperrime in Missiones Sinicas destinase. Sed
et Gallos in hanc rem incumbere magnonisu
ex ipsa Gallia intellexi accepi Quae cum ita
sint, profectochonoris divini, et, si post hunc id
quoque addere fas est, nostri, interesse censeo, ut
offerentes se divinitus occasiones ne negligamus.
satis compertum habeo, curopaeas scientias potii
prum a magne illo princise
imum en Patribus resuitis expetia magno illo
principes quibus ut moderatissime loquar, nihile
concedunt nostri.
Etsi autem divina
gloria et verae religionis propagatio omnibus
aliis rationum momentis praeponderet; addi
tamen fas erit Reipublicae etiam, commercioru
Monarchan
interesse tantum principem obligari beneficio
nobis facili, ipsi autem mamorere expetito
Nam summa ejus delectatio est, pulcherrim
quaeque artificia curopaeorum, homlinesq
npremis egregios nancisci. SqQuodsi

Cum divinae gloriae, communisque boni summam
rationem habendam ipsa  doceat altior philosoptia
agnoscamque Religionem protestantium recte intellectam
digna deo sensa, verique cuttus praecepta sanctissima
continere; dandam operam nobis censeo, utsarta
tecta ad seram posteritatem transmittatur inque
eam curum tanto magis incumbendum, quanto
majora eam pericula novissimo rerum positu
Circumstant.
Exploratum autem
rerum peritis arbitror, nihil magis nocuisse,
quam fatalem illam scissionem inter eos qui
vangelici et qui Reformati vocantur. Huic
malo multi medelam afferre sunt conati, in-
primisque ex Magna Britannia Duraeus olim
rem singulari studio egit. Sed sive quod Medici
non satis perite morbum tractassent, sive potius
quod nondum ad erisin ille maturuisset, nihil est
actum,
Nunc autem mihi compertum est, eo res esse loci
ut Deo aspirante studiis vitorum quorundam
vit tute et doctrina praestantium, qui serio in hanc
curam incumbere volent, putem effici posse, quae
omnem expectationem supergrediantur. Cujus
per haec argumenta habeo: quod Reformati qui–
dem in Chareptoniana olin Synodo, ubique inter
ipsos probata, aliisque modis promtitudinem suam
declaravere, neque videntur placita retractaturit
ex parte autem Evangelicorum, cognita mihi

Et quod est mpl amplius, ex his principibus
unus, prudentia zelo et autoritate egregius, etiam
voluit, ut talia a mescriberentur.
Quanam igitur ratione hic animorum
