[Marginalia — left]
with great love and devotion to Jesus and our Lord, may it always be in our aid and favour, for the mutual submission that exists in this kingdom of Japan, to enhance our sanctity and confidence in your holy desires and beauties, which have increased the souls of your relatives. I hope in our Lord through what I have known of your humility and steadfastness, for which I ask, so that I may send you in study and obedience for your great merit. And being in mutual submission, Corporal Gaspar, Balthazar Gago, and Don Carvalho will come to Japan where I will conclude that it will be pleasing to add
to their duties in Meaco. And you, Balthazar Gago and Don Carvalho, on the way general will show obedience to Illustrious Gaspar de Cuya’s prudence and humility. I hope that he will take very good care of fulfilling such a cargo and that I do not doubt your devotion, for you have shown such strong will and compassion of spirit for the good of Christ and to make sacrifices of our lives for His sake, first for us, with much hope that we will agree on this matter in eight parts. Signed by hand of this your servant on 5 Charter John de Canhomina, 5 November 1549.
