Mi carissime Domine Orator.

Accepi litteras Tuae Dominationis, quibus me visere voluit et quae me plurimum delectarunt, ob eam mei optimam reminiscentiam, quam magnifacio. Et quia aliis dominis difusius in agibilibus curiae sacrae 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 Castilecaesarea maiestatisCharles 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 scripsit quam mihi, Tuam Dominationem prolixis litteris occupare nolui, praeterquam in rem eius desiderii, ut illi me deesse non intelligat, respondere non sum gravatus libentissime.

nostris Tuam Dominationem nulla teneat dubitatio. Etenim iure optimo habere debent benignam rationem eius magnae importantiae meritorum, prout et habebunt, Dominatio Tua certo certius sibi persuadeat. Quod vero attinet ipsum me, bonae frugi et ornamento inter alios amicos nulli secundum, Tua Dominatio, modo reducem incolumem iam tandem videamus, futurum in vota sua semper exsperietur.
