Sincerissimis reverentia et honore praemissis. Reverendissime in Christo Pater,

Cum ad praesens nihil frequentius investigatur, quam de generali concilio et rursus nihil incertius diffinitur quam de eius exitu aut progressu, idcirco quae nuper acta sunt paucis suscipiet Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra.

Venerat interea acceptabile novum a The French GalliisThe French et The Spaniards HispaniisThe Spaniards , quomodo plures episcopi et theologi iussu suorum principum in via sunt accedendi concilium; scilicet in quintam hebdomadam de eorum expectato accessu nil habemus. XXV Martii erat congregatio 9 cardinalium in domo cardinalis Ostiensis domini Tran, itidem omnium episcoporum Urbis. In summa hoc actum est, ut ostenso Paul III (Alessandro Farnese) (*1468 – †1549), 1493 elevated to cardinal; 1524 Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia; 1534-1549 Popesummi pontificisPaul III (Alessandro Farnese) (*1468 – †1549), 1493 elevated to cardinal; 1524 Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia; 1534-1549 Pope mandato unusquisque pontificum se quantocius ante festum reciperet ad iter, excepere nonnulli archiepiscopi et alii causas suae senectutis et paupertatis; sed mihi ad 2-am partem videbatur respondendum, ne sic querantur de paupertate, ut suis subtractis sanioribus consiliis in negotio tam sancto occasionem praebe written over aaee written over arent, quod omnes et singuli erunt amodo pauperrimi et infelices per totam Ecclesiam Christianam. Agitur iam nonus annus, postquam ad concilium Mantuanum cum praedecessore meo exule pauperrimo profectus sum et interea nil nobis deesse permiserat divina benignitas etc. Heri videlicet 26 Martii locutus sum cum Paul III (Alessandro Farnese) (*1468 – †1549), 1493 elevated to cardinal; 1524 Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia; 1534-1549 Popepontifice summoPaul III (Alessandro Farnese) (*1468 – †1549), 1493 elevated to cardinal; 1524 Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia; 1534-1549 Pope in ara caeli satis extense super vacillatione ecclesiarum et religionis in Aquilone. Qui sicut summe condolere visus est ita me ad unum intimum suum familiarem cardinalem misit, qui me quantocius expediret. Sed ille cardinalis ita praeceps est in negotiis disponendis, ut a me memorali ac iterata instructione ante X hebdomadas accepta adhuc nihil expedierat in hunc diem. Non esset satis tutum talem constituere legatum, ubi frameae a gutture rixantium essent subito avertendae, nec fallit me imago, quin ita repentini sunt plerique alias ad concilium hinc transmissi etc. Iam agitur quintus mensis, quo continue agens usque ad nauseam de meo exitu ad concilium, sed aliud in resolutione non habeo quam quod omnino vadam 2-a die Pascae et ita libenter agam si saltem divina bonitas adeo felicem diem constituat mihi.
