Reverende in Christo pater, sincere nobis dilecte.

Redditae sunt nobis Paternitatis Tuae litterae, quibus nos de revocatione sua multum obsecrat et declarat nobis istam suam longi temporis a patria absentiam esse sibi in exilii versam molestiam. Quod Paternitatis Tuae redeundi ad nos desiderium etsi nos non secus permovet, quam ut illius de nobis fides et merita postulant, quia tamen, ut prius Paternitati Vestrae scripsimus, incumbit nobis hoc tempore de rebus summe gravibus et in re publica Christiana praecipuis 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 Castile⌊caesarea maiestateCharles 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⌋ tractandi necessitas, adduci non possumus, ut nunc ex isto loco Paternitatem Tuam avocare debeamus.
