Summary
Saying to his recipient that he has recently received news which seems to have been heard around this ocean, and especially at these shores in certain places which belong to the Holy Sea, and that he therefore wants to remind him, and through him, the other officers to fight with due vigilance and accuracy against anything which may occur in the service of Our Lord.
