Carolus divina favente clementia f(elix) Romanorum imperator semper augustus

Magnifice sincere dilecte.

Ex litteris tuis te salvum conductum a rege Galliae habuisse intelleximus et pro his, quae de tua opera nobis polliceris, gratiam habemus non vulgarem. Scimus enim te pro singulari tua in nos fide ac devotione nullo in loco rebus nostris defuturum, sed cum superinscribed⌈cumcum superinscribed⌉ verea superinscribed⌈aa superinscribed⌉mur, ne ex re tua neque forsan ms. m(!) ⌈nn ms. m(!) ⌉ nostram sit, ut superinscribed, in the hand of other⌈utut superinscribed, in the hand of other⌉ Gallicae te committas fidei te etiam atque ... superinscribed, in the hand of other⌈... illegible⌈...... illegible⌉... superinscribed, in the hand of other⌉ etiam hortamur, ut mature tibi in the other hand, superinscribed in place of crossed-out quid sit boni⌈quid sit boni tibi tibi in the other hand, superinscribed in place of crossed-out quid sit boni⌉ consulas etsi male metuas, novisti enim mores et hominum genus, aut in the other hand, superinscribed in place of crossed-out ut⌈ut aut aut in the other hand, superinscribed in place of crossed-out ut⌉ alio iter tuum convertas teque mari potius committas.
