Dominum Ioannem Viol Alemanum, qui agit pro domino Bartholo hidden by binding⌈[o]o hidden by binding⌉maeo Welzer Barii, Dominationi Vestrae non secus atque me ipsum commendo et rogo illum ea, qua me ipsum, benevolentia prosequatur; quicquid in illum officii et beneficii contulerit hidden by binding⌈[lerit]lerit hidden by binding⌉, id omne in me collatum existimabo meque sibi numquam ingratum, sed semper devinctum atque auctoratum offendet, quod non hac exhibitione, verum re ipsa aliquando experietur.

Quae hic in novis habentur, haec sunt. Natus est maiestati caesareae filius princeps 21 Maii et vocatus Philippus nomine avi sui, fueruntque hic ob hanc nativitatem non vulgaria festa. Venturi etiam huc dicuntur serenissimorum Franciae et Angliae regum oratores de pace componenda, quam hidden by binding⌈[am]am hidden by binding⌉ utinam Deus nostri misertus tandem post tot bellorum hidden by binding⌈[um]um hidden by binding⌉ turbines concederet. Quae apud vos in Italia fiunt, non sunt Dominationi Vestrae incognita, de quibus volui mihi etiam aliquando scriberet.

Alia non restant, quam quod me ex corde Dominationi Vestrae summopere commendo et rogo, potest enim, per dominos Welzeros semper scribat saepius.
