Si quid in his a scopo aberravi, Maiestas Vestra Serenissima pro sua incomparabili prudentia dabit imprudentiae vel potius impudentiae meae veniam; adegit enim me et istorum temporum ratio et fides mea erga Maiestatem Vestram Serenissimam, ut ista sic libere scriberem.

De re Barensi quid adhuc scribam, certum non habeo. Reiecta fuerant prius omnia in adventum domini magni cancellarii. Cum ille ad praesens hic agat et obex ac impedimentum nostrum, vicerex, sit amotus, tamen adhuc nihil sum assecutus. In domino cancellario nihil est, quod desiderem, quandoquidem sinceriter, ut consuevit, rebus nostris favet. In ipso caesare video difficultatem, cui persuaserunt, quod quondam in regno Neapolitano et filii regum solverint adoham, quam priores vicereges non audebant ab illustrissima olim domina duce Mediolani exigere, significavitque mihi hodie per dominum Cornelium Scepperum, quod ea in re de gratia caesaris parum esset spei; de castro esset exspectandum id, quod prius per commissionem caesar de castellano instituendo decrevisset, utpote, quod Cola Maria de Summa praeficeretur. Quid ea in re factum sit, adhuc ignoro. Sic hucusque manent suspensa omnia, spero tamen, quod ante duorum mensium decursum tempus nos resolvet. Exitus rerum Italicarum nos docebit, si adoham deinceps persolvemus necne. Inde omnia, lex et prophetae dependent, sed caute eo erit utendum.

De rebus levioribus, quae se obtulerunt, plurima essent scribenda, quod tamen ad praesens a me fieri nequit, tempore ad id deficiente: resarcietur aliquando, quod nunc omittitur, longiori volumine, ut sic mandatis Maiestatis Vestrae Serenissimae respondeam. Cui humillime supplico: huius tam diuturni atque longinqui exilii fidelisque meae servitutis per occasionem clementem rationem habere dignetur.
