Letter 10027: Gregory to Zittanus, military commander.
AD ZITTANUM MAGISTRUM MILITUM.
Fatetur persolvenda etiam a religiosis tribula,
Gregorius * Zittano magistro militum,
Epistolas vestras Grazco sermone dictalas me in-
dico $uscepisse, in quibus dicitis quod@uzdam reli-
| giosa loca Þ responsum juri publico de rebus ei com-
petentibus reddere contemnant. Qua res me omnino
contristavit, quia nostri est habitus non solum pree-
judicia minime ſacere, $ed etiam facta zquanimiter
porlare, nisi ſorte quod res pauperum defendere ra»
tionabiliter cogimur, ne apud omvipotentem Deum
culpabiles inveniri valeamus. Proinde Fantino de-
ſensori que scripserim gloriz veslre tran-misi , ut
ipse religios0s quosque in Panormitanis partibus
apud electos judices venire compellat , et 8uorum
actuum rationem reddant. Omnipotens Deus celestis C
vobis misericordiz largitatem prebeat, ut per cuncta
que agitis ejus gratie Serviatis. © Mense Maio in-
dict. 5.
