Salutem.

Quod tibi et populo Christiano tibi credito, felix faustumque sit, Reverendissime Praesul, auctae dignitatis tuae nuntium, ut perlibenter audivi, sic fortunae secundae cursum perpetuum tibi gratulor vehementer. Desino mirari, quibus artibus hoc Regnum eo maiestatis ac splendoris conscenderit: neque enim aliunde (post Deum) id quicquid esse potest felicitatis, existit, nisi, quod et in sceleratos graviter animadvertitur et suus est virtuti honos. Talia honoraria, sed et multo maiora, heroicae istae virtutes tuae dudum promerentur. Verum de tuis laudibus alias: neque enim vel meis vel aliorum calculis viritim corrogatis eges, cui pridem theatrum plaudit universum. Cum, quod dixi, nunc primum rescivissem, ab abituriente tabellario impet[r]avi, ut has ad te scribere liceret, grati ac mem[o]ris animi erga te mei testes. Etenim cum in Spain (Hispania)⌊H[i]spaniaSpain (Hispania)⌋, tum in Brabant (Brabantia), duchy in the Low Countries, under Habsburg rule from 1482. Its territory corresponds to the Belgian provinces of Flemish Brabant, Walloon Brabant, Antwerp and the Brussels Capital Region, and the province of North-Brabant in the Netherlands⌊BrabantiaBrabant (Brabantia), duchy in the Low Countries, under Habsburg rule from 1482.

Itaque si quid porro erit, in quo Dignitati Tuae Reverendissimae subservire queam, illa suo iure utatur. Serenissimi atque augustissimi Romanorum etc. regis, domini nostri clementissimi iussu ac mandato sumus hic, quidam ex proceribus Bohemiae et ego, ad serenissimum Poloniae etc. regem oratores, conciliandae pacis ergo, inter huius regiam maiestatem et vaivodam Walachiae Moldavum. Faxit Deus, ut simus exoratores. Valeat Excellentia Vestra Reverendissima.
