Itaque mos gerendus est illius sacrae maiestati, nec existimet negotium illud nostrum Montis Serici voluntate aut negligentia officialium et sollicitatorum tanto tempore differri in Concilio Collaterali. Occupationes caesarianorum circa iudicia rebellium atque vacantiae sunt in causa, nam mensibus Iulii et Augusti nulla negotia agi solent. Scribunt tamen nobis officiales nostri, quod [Co]ncilium Collaterale pollicitum est causam nostram Montis Serici hoc mense transacto Septembris omnino determinare, quod iam factum esse putamus. Superest, ut Strenuitas Tua istic extremam manum imponat cum gratia caesaris promissa.

Legimus exemplum litterarum sacrae caesareae maiestatis ad Concilium Collaterale expeditarum, ut non secus negotia nostra tractarent quam ipsiusmet caesaris. Faxit Deus, ut eam rationem rerum nostrarum habeant, ne deinceps tantam molestiam nobis facerent, sicut soliti erant. Sed re ipsa experiemur.

Ex litteris Strenuitatis Tuae cognovimus Scipionem de Summa cum Cardutio hactenus istic nihil effecisse. Cupimus, ut quomodo res eorum postea cesserin[t], nos et magnificum Ludovicum Aliphium oratorem regium et nostrum, reddat certiores. Scipionem amplius in nullo officio nostro pati vel[le]mus, quandoquidem et id sacra caesarea maiestas nobis litteris suis iniunxerit et nobis semper temerarius fuit.

Proficiscitur item ad curiam caesaris princeps Bissignani in negotiis suis. Volumus, ut attendat Strenuitas Tua, quid rerum habeat et quid effice[re] temptaverit, quibus adiutoribus et quomodo apud caesaream maiestatem habeat, ac quomodo cum Scipione de Summa convenerit. Nam antea inimici erant. Significet nobis Strenuitas Tua et bene valeat, nosque de iis atque aliis, quae fidei, prudentiae et diligentiae eius committim[us], semper ad plenum reddat certiores.
