Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine gratiosissime, humillimam commendationem.

Pontifex misit huc breve oratoribus Florentinis in negotio status Barensis: si proficiet, experiemur, a me nihil omittetur, quantum se intellectus meus extendit usque ad extremum. Bonum tamen esset, quod, cum primis written over aeaeisis written over ae litterae regiae hnuc venirent, mentem et animum suae maiestatis hac in re declarantes, quibus mihi et animus adderetur et in dicendo fides firmior adhiberetur. Suspicor hoc sequestrum non esse ob aliam rem magis factum, quam ut castrum Barense acciperetur, quod factum est ob metum Gallorum fortassis, ne illis in manus daretur. Hoc quod timui et coram dixi, accidit: ista legatio ad Galliam fecit sequestrum, si hoc vel precibus, vel minis solvere poterimus, omnis danda est opera.
