"Nunc autem quo loco res nostrae sint, ut Serenitati vestrae auxilium
praestari possit a nobis, qui non Turcico tantum bello impliciti, sed
insuper etiam crudelissimo et iniquissimo a Gallis, rerun suarum, ut
putabant, in Anglia securis, contra datam fidem impediti sumus, ipsimet
Serenitati vestrae judicandum relinquimus.... Galli non tantum in
nostrum et totius Christianae orbis perniciem foedifraga arma cum
juratis Sanctae Crucis hostibus sociare fas sibi ducunt; sed etiam in
imperio, perfidiam perfidia cumulando, urbes deditione occupatas contra
datam fidem immensis tributis exhaurire exhaustas diripere, direptas
funditus exscindere aut flammis delere Palatia Principum ab omni
antiquitate inter saevissima bellorum incendia intacta servata exurere,
templa spoliare, dedititios in servitutem more apud barbaros usitato
abducere, denique passim, imprimis vero etiam in Catholicorum
ditionibus, alia horrenda, et ipsam Turcorum tyrannidem superantia
immanitatis et saevitiae exempla edere pro ludo habent."]
