Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine gratiosissime. Humillimam servitiorum meorum commendationem.

His ad praesens velim copiosisime respondere, si me tempus non deficeret ob istius postae celeritatem, in qua neque regiae maiestati scribere potui. Ad reginalem maiestatem nescio quas tumultuarias exaravi, in quibus compendiose absolutionem meam a caesare recensui neque eam Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam latere volui. Postquam in primo responso a Ioanne Lalemant mihi in Madril dato frenum momorderim et illud pro expeditione habere renui, iterum hic conveni caesarem, cui iam valedixeram reluctatusque fortiter obtinui a maiestate caesarea remissionem adohae, quam mater reginalis maiestatis obtinuerat et numquam solverat. Eam dicunt excedere summam sexaginta milium ducatorum potuitque a reginali maiestate, ut hic multis argumentis crebro mecum disputatum est, omni iure repeti, quandoquidem debitum, quod vasallus paper damaged⌈[us]us paper damaged⌉ debet principi, numquam praescribit. Eripui eam superinscribed⌈eameam superinscribed⌉ summam, Deo gratia, BCz, 242, p. 206 adversariis nostris, qui adhuc ad statum Barensem inhiabant, in quo hidden by binding⌈[quo]quo hidden by binding⌉ nunc reginalis maiestas dormire potest in aurem utramque. Donavit praeterea caesar reginali maiestati in recompensam adohae, quam per haec tempora officiales reginalis maiestatis solverunt ex proventibus suis fiscalibus mille et ducentos ducatos pollicitusque se deinceps etiam semper gratiam facturum. Iussit itidem fieri litteras commendatitias pro statu Barensi et observatorias iurium et privilegiorum reginalis maiestatis ad viceregem et collaterale consilium Neapoliense hidden by binding⌈[apoliense]apoliense hidden by binding⌉ in amplissima forma. Quam primum istae litterae confectae fuerint, gratiis dictis et vale caesari me hinc recta ad Vallem Oleti hidden by binding⌈[leti]leti hidden by binding⌉ conferam missurus in Galliam pro salvo conductu, qui si dabitur hidden by binding⌈[tur]tur hidden by binding⌉, brevi, ut in Deum meum spero, Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam videbo quam lubentissime, antequam ad curiam regiae maiestatis concedam. Sin aliter hidden by binding⌈[er]er hidden by binding⌉, cum non sit hoc duro tempore tutum navigare, commodius exspec hidden by binding⌈[spec]spec hidden by binding⌉tabo et quantum possum celerius advolabo. De duello nihil hidden by binding⌈[ihil]ihil hidden by binding⌉ successit, quod prius omnes ominabantur. Caesar hinc omnino fertur hidden by binding⌈[ertur]ertur hidden by binding⌉ pro Martio futuro iturus cum ingenti classe vel in Italiam hidden by binding⌈[iam]iam hidden by binding⌉ vel ad Belgas, sed certo suspicor eum velle Romae coronari hidden by binding⌈[ari]ari hidden by binding⌉, quod, postquam videro, credam, toties ea in re prius sum deceptus hidden by binding⌈[us]us hidden by binding⌉.

Alia non restant, cum iam a me litterae ex<i>gentur, quam quod hanc meam hidden by binding⌈[am]am hidden by binding⌉ expeditionem curamque et non inutilem laborem meum Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam ignorare nolui, cui me humiliter commendo et reverendissimo domino meo Plocensi omnia fausta precor rogoque, ut me Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima qua coepit gratia prosequatur, perpetuum et fidelem me habitura mancipium semper hidden by binding⌈[r]r hidden by binding⌉.
