Nec actum quicquam secus existimes, vel susurrantes perniciosa malignos admittas, ad compendia sua excitare secessiones principum assuetos; sed adulatione vitiorum altrice depulsa, excellentissiman virtutum omnium adverte iustitiam, et condicionum aequitatem, quam propono, bona fide suscipito, cum animo disputans, haec statui Romano prodesse, nobiscum, qui caritate sanguinis et fortunae superioris culmine sociamur.
Do not suspect that anything different was done, or listen to malicious and pernicious whisperers, whose habit it is to excite dissension between princes for their own profit; but rejecting flattery, the nurse of vices, turn to justice, the most excellent of all virtues, and accept in good faith the fair conditions which I propose, convincing yourself that this is to the advantage of the rule of Rome as well as to ourselves, who are united by the tie of blood and by our lofty position.
