Iniunxerat mihi in novissimis suis Maiestas Vestra Serenissima, ut quam celerrime litteras super exemptione adohae Maiestati Vestrae Serenissimae transmitterem, persuasit enim sibi, cum iustum est id, quod petit, quod facile hic posset impetrari. Iam videt Maiestas Vestra Serenissima, quomodo semper inveniuntur modi, quibus postulata Maiestatis Vestrae impediuntur nitunturque eam a iustitia ad gratiam traducere, de qua parum sperare possimus, cum ipsa nobis aequitate denegatur. Voluit etiam, ut ea hic approbarentur, quae a Maiestate Vestra per scripturam probari non possent. Si hunc articulum supplicationi meae inseruissem, ut a iuris peritis edoctus sum, possent sic hic interpretari, quod Maiestas Vestra Serenissima diceret, totum Kingdom of Naples, kingdom covering the southern part of the Italian Peninsula, from 1504 under the Crown of Aragonregnum NeapolitanumKingdom of Naples, kingdom covering the southern part of the Italian Peninsula, from 1504 under the Crown of Aragon ad se spectare. Sic nodum hic quaerunt in scirpo; cumque factus sum Hispanus, ut scribit Maiestas Vestra Serenissima, et iam tum demum et mores et homines cognoscere incipio, caute cum illis mihi agendum est. Ego hoc unum affirmare ausim, quod si Maiestas Vestra Serenissima hic neminem habuisset et per litteras cum Charles V of Habsburg (*1500 – †1558), ruler of the Burgundian territories (1506-1555), King of Spain as Charles I (1516-1556), King of Naples and Sicily, King of the Romans (1519-1530), Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation (elected 1519, crowned 1530, abdicated 1556); son of Philip I the Handsome and Joanna the Mad of Castilemaiestate caesareaCharles V of Habsburg (*1500 – †1558), ruler of the Burgundian territories (1506-1555), King of Spain as Charles I (1516-1556), King of Naples and Sicily, King of the Romans (1519-1530), Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation (elected 1519, crowned 1530, abdicated 1556); son of Philip I the Handsome and Joanna the Mad of Castile egisset, iam pridem Bari (Barium, Status Barensis), duchy in southern Italy, on the Adriatic Sea, Bari was a hereditary country of Queen Bona of Polandstatu suo BarensiBari (Barium, Status Barensis), duchy in southern Italy, on the Adriatic Sea, Bari was a hereditary country of Queen Bona of Poland privata esset et si consensum matrimonii ante Charles de Lannoy (*ca. 1487 – †1527), first Count of Lannoy (1526-1527), Lord of Sanzeilles, Erquelines and Mingoval, soldier and statesman in the service of the Habsburgs ; 1521 Governor of Tournai, 1522-1523, 1526-1527 Viceroy of Naples, 1523-1527 commander in chief of Imperial armies in ItalyviceregisCharles de Lannoy (*ca. 1487 – †1527), first Count of Lannoy (1526-1527), Lord of Sanzeilles, Erquelines and Mingoval, soldier and statesman in the service of the Habsburgs ; 1521 Governor of Tournai, 1522-1523, 1526-1527 Viceroy of Naples, 1523-1527 commander in chief of Imperial armies in Italy adventum hic non obtinuissem, iam vix impetrari posset; invenissent aliam practicam. Ea in re nihil mihi ascribo neque arrogo, quandoquidem per alium quempiam omnia commodius expediri potuissent et minori fortassis labore ac impensis, cum ego certe multum laboraverim et impenderim. Sed hoc ea propter scribo, ut Maiestas Vestra Serenissima clarius perspiciat, in quibus difficultatibus negotia Maiestatis Vestrae Serenissimae hactenus sunt versata, quarum adhuc finem non video. Det Deus illis finem, qui eas faciunt.
