And forasmuch as the said herald, vnder colour to bring the suertie of the field, may vse certeine ficti|ons, dissimulations, or hypocrisies, to shift off the matter, whereas I desire expedition, and to haue it dispatched out of hand; so that by the same an end of the warres, which haue so long continued, may be had, to the ease and comfort of all christendome, to a|uoid the effusion of bloud, and other mischéefes which come thereof: I haue wished it knowne to all chri|stendome, to the end that euerie one may vnder|stand the truth, from whence procéedeth the mischéefe and the long continuance thereof.
