He can 'I write anything else but what he wrote to Baron Burgio and what he asked for through Burgio and earlier in person as well as in a letter. - 2. The Pope should create peace among Christians because if they do not stand up to fight against the Turks next spring, that is the end of Hungary and soon the end of Christianity. Sanctissime Pater, Domine Clementissime. Servitutis commendationem post pedum Vestrae Sanctitatis oscula beatorum. [1.] In litteris, quas mitto ad dominum baronem perscripsi omnia, quae hic aguntur.1 Quas ita inscripsi, ut, si dominus baro non adesset, perlegantur nihilominus a Vestra 5 Sanctitate. De me nescio quid dicam aliud, nisi quod per baronem supplicavi et prius saepe coram semel per litteras.1 2 Nescio quo me vertare alio nisi ad Vestram Sanctitatem, cui servire cupio in perpetuum. Alia litterae ad baronem continebunt. Me et meam servitutem in gratiam eiusdem humillime commendo. Quam Deus io conservet semper felicem et incolumem. Posonii 4. Octobris 1526. [2.] Vestra Sanctitas videt aperte non iam pericula, neque damna nostra, sed ruinam, ex nostra autem ruina, minam totius Christianitatis. Oro et obsecro per amorem Dei Omnipotentis, faciat pacem in Christianitate. Sumantur arma contra hostem in futurum 15 ver. Omnino, omnino. Nisi hoc fiat, nos sine ullo dubio iam peribimus funditus. Sed certe neque alii Christiani permanebunt. Vestrae Sanctitatis humillimus servulus et capellanus Stephanus Brodericus infelix 20 infelicis regis et regni cancellarius 1 Unfortunately, letters by Brodarics to Borgio did not survive. 2 See the letter by Brodarics on 10 September 1526. 155
