BCz, 242, p. 28 Scripsit Dominatio Vestra indictum esse serenissimae dominae nostrae militare servitium, et licet id de iure et iuxta vim privilegiorum de statu Barensi maiestati caesareae deberetur, tamen de consuetudine a sanguine regio descendentibus exigi solitum non fuisse, huncque recentem morem cum illustrissima olim domina duce Mediolani(?), quae hac praerogativa, quamdiu in vivis fuerat, fruebatur, comprobavit. Ea ego omnia ad praescriptam Dominationi Vestrae instructionem per modum supplicationis maiestati caesareae exposui, et in scriptis exhibui. Ceterum aliud obtinere non potui quam id, quod istae provisiones, quas cum earum exemplis ad praesens mitto, continent, ut pote negotium hoc ad iura et regni constitutiones, omissa consuetudine, remittitur, quod Dominatio Vestra pro sua prudentia et istarum rerum ibidem in regno peritia, commodius quam ego intellego moderabitur.

Id mihi gratum fuit plurimum, utque perpetuo hoc faciat, oro et obsecro, atque ut ad me saepius scribat obtestor, quandoquidem litterae Dominationis Vestrae tam eruditae, quae me de rebus serenissimorum principum nostrorum certiorem ms. certiores(!) ⌈certioremcertiorem ms. certiores(!) ⌉ reddunt, me non vulgariter oblectant.
