ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). Verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

As far as pertains to the worthy integrity of your judgment, whomsoever you raise up with the privileges of honors, you ought to reckon as Romans. From this confidence, then, it is not fitting that those be believed wholly absent whom, though their fatherland separates them, their military service represents. Whence — showing the mind of devotion by the only thing I am able to, and by the usefulness of my office — I set forth what I would continually desire, so far as possibility permits. Do you now assert to our most clement common prince what we would wish. Convey more earnestly the service of obedience, which now we hold in compliance, always in aspiration. Suggest and likewise commend that the command of princely reverence has been fulfilled — through my intercession — by your admirer, my lord and father.
The son of your client, the illustrious man Laurentius, restored by my zeal, is added to the region. Long ago we sent a servant in the father: behold, we add in the son a servant's service. From this one man sent to you, observe how it is dealt with the others. It remains that the aforesaid soldier of yours — whose offspring is both there extended to your grace, and here reserved for his fatherland — commended to you by my zeal, may himself commend this: that he is now either already possessed of the acquisition of that offspring, or secure concerning the prosperity of this one who returns with us.
