First sentence: As an unworthy servant and a man of low fortune I would not dare to appear before Your Holiness, if my unworthiness and lowliness had not first been raised up and enheartened by you yourself, when you so condescended towards me that you had me admitted to your presence, and with words conforming with your kindliness and eminence deigned to give me courage and hope beyond my merit and condition.
