Summary
Saying to a friend that may God bless him and reward him for his charity in praying for him and offering a Mass to thank God for the benefices he has granted him; also admitting that God, indeed, has bestowed on him with open hand his beneficences, temporal and spiritual ones, but that, for this reason, he trembles and fears his judgment since he who has received more is expected to report better reports from his good works.
