give_v hear_v to_o fame_n when_o she_o shall_v tell_v they_o that_o they_o contend_v that_o the_o city_n of_o asty_a and_o county_n thereof_o which_o i_o have_v acknowledge_v to_o hold_v of_o the_o

and_o your_o majesty_n to_o decree_v a_o imperial_a edict_n against_o i_o be_v it_o because_o the_o king_n bid_v i_o to_o lay_v down_o my_o arm_n i_o have_v not_o present_o obey_v but_o whence_o have_v the_o king_n of_o spain_n this_o new_a authority_n over_o the_o prince_n of_o the_o empire_n whence_o this_o altogether_o new_a power_n by_o what_o sign_n can_v they_o prove_v the_o same_o

beside_o after_o i_o have_v promise_v to_o the_o illustrious_a ambassador_n to_o lay_v down_o my_o arm_n why_o do_v he_o not_o as_o i_o request_v free_v i_o from_o the_o fear_n and_o danger_n i_o stand_v in_o lest_o he_o will_v attempt_v some_o thing_n against_o i_o be_v it_o because_o i_o have_v enter_v with_o arm_a hand_n into_o the_o dukedom_n of_o milan_n but_o he_o first_o have_v not_o only_o invade_v my_o dominion_n but_o also_o by_o his_o soldier_n wicked_o rage_v in_o the_o same_o but_o what_o hurt_n what_o damage_n can_v he_o show_v i_o have_v do_v to_o his_o i_o have_v thing_n

afore_o i_o have_v send_v back_o the_o choler_n of_o the_o order_n deem_v it_o a_o unfit_a thing_n if_o be_v a_o knight_n of_o the_o king_n order_n i_o shall_v with_o the_o same_o fight_n against_o

which_o be_v not_o suffer_v to_o go_v out_o of_o turin_n before_o she_o have_v pay_v whatsoever_o she_o owe_v in_o the_o town_n for_o daily_a household_n provision_n but_o how_o foolish_a and_o
