Et quia rem iustissimam et piam ac universae rei publicae Christianae perutilem sunt petituri apud caesaream et regiam celsitudinem, committimus Strenuitati Tuae, ut eos exaudiat, et quicquid pro dexteritate et prudentia sua coram caesarea et regia celsitudine illis opis praestare poterit, nostro nomine praestet. Amamus enim eorum fidem et sinceritatem erga serenissimum dominum regem Ferdinandum, cuius maiestati quaeque felicissima expetimus. Bene valeat Strenuitas Tua et hos bonos viros omni favore et adiutorio prosequatur, rem officio suo dignam et nobis pergratam factura.
