Epistola Ioannis Monlucii, episcopi Valentini regis Gallorum legati ad Poloni[a]e Ordines de Illustrissimo Andium duce in Regnum Polonicum allegendo

of your time, perhaps, and the nature of this place, allows for a more extensive explanation. I will, however, add one thing which is most true: even if the most illustrious Prince is elected King by you, you ought not to see or expect any harm, any disadvantage, or any loss or diminution whatsoever to the most noble Kingdom of Poland. Furthermore, since you are the most famous light of the Christian world, and since all virtues shine forth in this happy, strong, just, clement, magnanimous, generous, beneficent, and liberal Prince, you should already hope for many ornaments for your dignity and safeguards for your stability from him.

Moreover, since letters have been given to me by the most Christian King for the most serene sister of your excellent Emperor and King, and many things have been enjoined upon me which I might report in person, although you have prescribed the place where I should keep myself, do not let it be a prejudice to me to explain this if I have approached her, if you wish and command it, most illustrious, most reverend, and spectable Lords, to whose most holy indications I shall most religiously satisfy. May God, the Best and Greatest, preside over your most grave and difficult deliberations and counsels through Jesus Christ, our eternal Lord, with His most holy spirit. May He preserve you, most illustrious, most reverend, spectable, magnificent, and generous Lords, born happily for the Christian Republic, for a very long time. 28 October, Year 72.

To you, most illustrious, most reverend, spectable, magnificent, and generous Lords, most devoted and prepared for all services, Ioannes Monlucius, Bishop of Valence, Legate of the most Christian King of the Gauls.
