havendo potuto in vita sua esser' remunerato dallei, secundo si potea sperar' per li meriti suoi, ha lasciato nelle man' mie la imagine della fede sua verso quella, un' unico figliuol' con due sorelline, le quali mi sforzarò allevar' in tutte quelle virtuose actioni, che mi seranno possibili, confidandomi che V. Stà sia sempre per protegerli, et augumentargli, et con essi prostrata alli suoi smi piedi la supplico sia contenta assolvere plenaria- mente l' anima dil detto mio figliuolo, e, concedergli questa gratia, la qual cosa mi serà di precipua consolatione, desiderando sopra ogni cosa che l' anima sua senti el suffragio del precio- sissimo thesauro della Bne Vostra, et de Sta chiesa, et baciando li predetti suoi smi piedi, allei con ogni humiltà mi raccomando.
