Convenit me hic reverendissimus dominus episcopus Gurcensis, Hieronimus Balbus, cum quo accessi reverendissimum dominum cardinalem Sanctorum 4, a quo fui humanissime exceptus; multa in laudem Serenissimae Maiestatis Vestrae et nationis Polonicae praedicabat, seque pro sua virtute et humanitate, optimus senex, plurimum offerebat. Is paulo post effecit, ut ad pontificem admitterer, quo cum venissem et crucem ex filo aureo in calceo pedis eius osculatus fuissem, in hunc modum stando, ipso etiam pontifice stante, loquebar, quod cum huc cum caesare ex Hispania applicuissem exspectassemque indies litteras aut certa Maiestatis Vestrae Serenissimae ad eius sanctitatem mandata, quo non vacuus accederem, transivissentque iam multi dies et nihil istiusmodi ad me esset perlatum, non potuissem neque licuisset me diutius continere, quin ad hoc osculum prociderem, offerendo me, sicubi eius sanctitati apud caesarem ac etiam apud Maiestatem Vestram Serenissimam servire possem, me esse propensissimum. Ista fuit summa etc. Respondit mihi, composito ad humanitatem vultu et lene quiddam subridens, quod me libenter vidisset ex parte regis mei, cuius maiestati (hoc tum verbo utebatur) propensus esset singulariter, ubi ei posset gratificari, quam etiam sibi inter alios et sedi apostolicae praecipue affectam cognosceret, multisque id experimentis haberet compertum. Subintuli sanctitatem eius in ea opinione, quam de Maiestate Vestra Serenissima concepisset, non decipi semperque id se clarius experturam. Deinde et mihi se o<b>tulit sanctitas eius, ad quod egi, quas potui, gratias. Postea mei etiam ad hoc osculum cum doctore Resszicza paenitentiario et quibusdam aliis, qui me fuerant comitati, accesserunt; nemo tunc ibi post signaturam, ut vocant, aderat, quam duo isti cardinales seniores: Sanctorum 4 et Fernesius. Sic cum signo crucis a pontifice dato dimissus discessi.
Cumque hic tot et tanta continue negotia agerentur, a me nihil commode potuit fieri, cum quod adhuc dominus Levicius nondum rediit ex Neapoli, a quo rerum omnium perfectam instructionem habere debui, tum etiam, quod caesar perpetuis negotiis et querelis multorum obrueretur; fui tamen nihilominus apud eius maiestatem, atque inter alia de promisso mihi facto anno superiore Toleti in Hispania eum admonui, rogans, licet non dubitarem, quin omnino, quod mihi promiserit maiestas eius, esset ob

Convenit me hic reverendissimus dominus episcopus Gurcensis, Hieronimus Balbus, cum quo accessi reverendissimum dominum cardinalem Sanctorum 4, a quo fui humanissime exceptus; multa in laudem Serenissimae Maiestatis Vestrae et nationis Polonicae praedicabat, seque pro sua virtute et humanitate, optimus senex, plurimum offerebat. Is paulo post effecit, ut ad pontificem admitterer, quo cum venissem et crucem ex filo aureo in calceo pedis eius osculatus fuissem, in hunc modum stando, ipso etiam pontifice stante, loquebar, quod cum huc cum caesare ex Hispania applicuissem exspectassemque indies litteras aut certa Maiestatis Vestrae Serenissimae ad eius sanctitatem mandata, quo non vacuus accederem, transivissentque iam multi dies et nihil istiusmodi ad me esset perlatum, non potuissem neque licuisset me diutius continere, quin ad hoc osculum prociderem, offerendo me, sicubi eius sanctitati apud caesarem ac etiam apud Maiestatem Vestram Serenissimam servire possem, me esse propensissimum. Ista fuit summa etc. Respondit mihi, composito ad humanitatem vultu et lene quiddam subridens, quod me libenter vidisset ex parte regis mei, cuius maiestati (hoc tum verbo utebatur) propensus esset singulariter, ubi ei posset gratificari, quam etiam sibi inter alios et sedi apostolicae praecipue affectam cognosceret, multisque id experimentis haberet compertum. Subintuli sanctitatem eius in ea opinione, quam de Maiestate Vestra Serenissima concepisset, non decipi semperque id se clarius experturam. Deinde et mihi se o<b>tulit sanctitas eius, ad quod egi, quas potui, gratias. Postea mei etiam ad hoc osculum cum doctore Resszicza paenitentiario et quibusdam aliis, qui me fuerant comitati, accesserunt; nemo tunc ibi post signaturam, ut vocant, aderat, quam duo isti cardinales seniores: Sanctorum 4 et Fernesius. Sic cum signo crucis a pontifice dato dimissus discessi.

servatura, conveniret tamen, ut hoc pro mutua coniunctione cum Vestra Regia et reginali Maiestate litteris testaretur, et inculcavi, quod maiestas eius mihi fuisset pollicita, si rex catholicus adoham praeteritam a matre serenissimae dominae numquam exegisset, se etiam illam numquam exacturam. Respondit, me non vanam concepisse fiduciam, se enim non solere immutare, quod semel apud se statuisset, de litteris vero super ea re deberem colloqui cum Pernotto (qui est unus de privato suae maiestatis consilio) eumque de singulis bene instruere; habita deinde ab illo relatione, se facturum omnia, quae posset, sicque me cum bona spe a se dimisit. Iste Pernottus, qui nunc vo paper damaged⌈[vo]vo paper damaged⌉catur dominus de Granvela, successit in locum Lalemanti, qui paper damaged⌈[qui]qui paper damaged⌉ adhuc in Madril, ubi agit imperatrix, in iure suo detentus paper damaged⌈[ntus]ntus paper damaged⌉ versatur, nec adhuc in omnibus, quae contra eum erant deposita paper damaged⌈[sita]sita paper damaged⌉, est convictus; habet hic confessorem caesaris, qui summopere partes eius tuetur.
