Detinui hoc medio die Michaelem hunc propterea, quod me cum on the margincumcum on the margin domino reverendissimo pransurum sciebam et auditurum quaedam, quae Dominationem Vestram de rebus meis scire cupiebam, quare Dominatio Vestra non huic imputabit, sed mihi. Iterum valeat Reverendissima Vestra Paternitas.
