Gregorius Brunichilde reginz Francorum..
* Cum in regni regimine virtus justitia et potestas

egeat quitate, nec ad hoc alterum sine altero poxsit

suſlicere, quanto in vobis amore horum cura praful-
geat, ex hoc utique patenter ostenditur, dum jurbas
gentium laudabiliter gubernatis. Quis ergo hec con-
8iderans de excellentiz vestre bonitate diffidat, aut
de impetratione sit dubius, quando illa a vobis que
subjectis vos libenter posse novit impendere duxe-
rit postulanda ? Lator itaque prazsentium Hilarius,
excellentize vestrz ſamulus, nostra 8e inlerventione
apud polestatem vestram zs$timans - adjuvari, com-
mendatiouis nostr# $ibi poposcit epistolas suffragari :
certum tenens uberius, sicut cxteris cynceditis, pro»
mereri, $i nostra pro eo intercessio loqueretur.

$0lventes alloquia, petimus ut quia quorumdam $e
perhibet nequitia adversitatibus laborare, excellentie

cipiat; quatenus dum vobis jubentibus atque propi-
liis nullius adversilas injuste et pro 80la {tantummodo
voluntate locum habuerit, et nos de impetratis que
pro vestra magis mercede poscimus gratias reſeramus,
