Ioannes, Dei gratia rex Hungáriáé, Dalmatiae, Croatiae, etc. [1.] Reverendissimi in Christo Patres, Fideles nobis sincere Dilecti. Litteras1 2 Dominationum Vestrarum accepimus, et quo discrimine Vaciam descenderint, intelleximus, sed gratum nobis est, quod optimus Deus easdem salvas reduxit. Quibus si quid, quod s nollemus, contigisset, non secus, quam si per Nos ipsos accidisset, accepissemus. [2.] Quamvis Nos Thomae, praeposito Quinqueecclesiensi3 abunde Nos ipsos aperuimus,4 unde Dominationes Vestrae facile rebus earum sibi ipsis consulere potuissent. Quod autem ad tractatum pacis attinet, meminimus proximis diebus Dominationibus Vestris scripsisse,5 quo animum domini oratoris6 experirentur, an in tractatibus pacis io mitius agere possit, ne frustra Dominationes Vestrae veteriores labores susciperent et inanes expensas facerent. Nunc quoque identidem eisdem faciendum censemus. Nam nollemus occasionem dare, ut tractatus pacis per nos dirimerentur, ad quos, si debitae et honestae ac Christianae conditiones proponerentur, condescendere etiam nunc essemus parati. is Datum Waradini, feria secunda proxima post festum Beati Laurentii anno Domini MDXXXV1I.
