Mas como atègora naõ houve quem quizeſle,^([sic – meaning quizeſſe]) ou pudeſſe tomar eſta obraſinha a ſeu cargo, Eu, ainda que o minimo de todos, por mandado dos meus Superiores aceitei eſte difficultoſo aſſumpto para utilidade dos novos Miſſionarios, & para bem de tantas almas.

But since until now no one has wished or been able to take on this small task, I, though the least of all, have accepted this difficult undertaking at the command of my superiors, for the benefit of the new missionaries and the good of so many souls.
