Autograph letter signed : Calais, to Lorenzo Campeggi[?], 1527 July 16.

Notifying Lorenzo Campeggi of their current situation with waiting for the very reverend Lord of Lorraine to undertake this holy enterprise and strengthen his most Christian Majesty, just as Campeggi would have done if able to physically, hoping to save his Holiness and make himself worthy of the title Christian Prince and Defender of the Faith; stating that the Lordship to Canterbury celebrated public Mass at the altar of St. Thomas, martyr to the freedom of the Church and had solemn processions with a sermon delivered to the populace on behalf of his Holiness's rescue, saying that there should be a fast on behalf of his Majesty; hoping that by sending a copy of the edict to the very reverend Salviati, that it might occur in France too and then pass on to Spain; saying that he is contributing 40.000 ducats a month to the enterprise and to promote expeditions, libertation, and peace, but thinks requesting Caesar for a treaty and demonstrating the judgement, curse, and eternal blame imprisoning His Holiness will have on him will be the most effective; adding that it is necessary that he brings together all the very reverend cardinals in one place to form the Apostolic See and offer Caesar the freedom of the father and the spouse of the Church as leverage to rescue His Holiness; saying that he has been writing to everyone who may wish to assemble, and he hopes that Campeggi's authority will help him persuade his colleagues and to intervene and argue for favor of this assembly; adding that France is the only convenient place for the assembly; adding that he humbly kisses his hand and recommends himself.
