REVERENDISSIMO DOMINO

D. HENRICO JOSEPHO
VAN SUSTEREN
XIV. BRUGENSIUM EPISCOPO,
Perpetuo ac Hæreditario Flandria
Cancellario, &c. &c.

Illuftriffime ac Reverendiffime Domine,

Oelefte Palmetum, operâ R. P. Wilhelmi Nakateni Soc. Jefu in gratiam piarum animarum olim concinnatum, necnon plurimis devotiffima

rum Orationum, Meditationum, Inftru&tionumque Palmis florens, nová hac Brugenfi Editione (innumeris mendis, que

in præcedentes irrepferant, purgatâ & emendata) typis meis plantatum prodit. Patronus itaque & Cuftos mihi fuit quærendus, qui aditum cuftodiat, ac hoftem arceat, ne incurfu temerario cujuf quam violetur.

Mibi autem folicitè quærenti, Tu folus, Illuftriffime Præful, voto meo es exoptatus, cui ea innata eft comitas, ut paternè excipias fingulos ad Te accedentes, neminem repellas, univerfos audias, & compleAtaris omnes: quinimo Tu es tamquam alter Angelus, ad Diœcefis noftræ tutelam pofitus, qui arces hoftes, & feliciter protegis incolas ab omni clade; qui mirabili fuavitate cuncta difponis, & fapientia manfuetâ, manfuetudine piâ, & pietate eximid faluti ac paci tuorum fubditorum confulis quàm maximè. Unde ob eminentes tuas virtutes, animique dotes, bono publico natus dicebaris, dum adbuc latebas fub modio; ut crefcentibus annis tuæ crefcerent dotes, augerentur virtutes, multiplicarentur merita. Proinde meritò HENRICUS JOSEPHUS magnum Patris in crementum es appellatus : virtutes enim tuæ majoris inftar luminis per plures ita micuêre

micuêre Provincias; ut, quas Amfteladamum peperit, miraretur Roma: quas Brabantia coluit, deprædicaret Italia: quas Mechlinia concluferat, diffeminarent Pontifex & Imperator. Nonne ita filius accrefcens JOSEPH ? Verè accrefcis, Præful digniffime; fed paffu graviori, dum una dignitas ad aliam tibi gradum fecit,& nullam umquam adiifti fine meritis, quæ inte largiter operata eft Divina Clementia te vocans ad Epifcopalem Brugenfium Infulam.

Habemus igitur Epifcopum, qui fubditis fuis intendit Apoftolicè. Habemus Epifcopum, qui infirmos confolidat, egrotos vifitat, confractos alligat, errantes reducit, & cunctos corroborat verbo, ac animat exemplo. Habemus, inquam, Epifcopum, qui omnibus omnia factus, negotia quantumvis grandia difcutit prudenter, & decidit fapienter, animofque diffidentium unit feliciter: qui diuturna rerum experientia comprobatus, delinquentes arguit paternè, bene meritos præmiat largiter, ac Diœcefim fuam ab errorum zizaniis expurgat folicitè. Verbo : habemus Epifcopum, qui juxta fuum Lemma
