Porsenna pardoned Q. Mutius that wold have slayn hym.
Remedia sanguinolenta sunt mitia ... calamitate.
Sanguis sanguinem procreat.
Quamquam somnus sit necessarius, medici tamen ... dare capava.
Nunquam auditum est, neque ratio potest comprehendi, Reginam Scotorum esse judiciabili.
For takyng away of the Scots Queen's liff cannot be a preservatyve to the Queen, but contrary, for the offence that hir frends will conceive, shall provocque them. The Queen of Scotts is so afflicted as she can lyve but few yers or dayes, and therfor not to be douted (feared) but rather to be pitied ever.
The French Kyng promiseth that he will impeach with his power, that there shall be no such attemtat as ar pretended to have bene against the Queen's Majesty. He will gyve order that the Queen of Scotts' kynsfolk that ar in France shall bynd themselves, and shall sign uppon ther fayths, that the Queen of Scotts, nor any for hir, shall enterprise any thing against the Queen's Majesty.
If the Queen's Majesty will propound any other meanes which she shall judg more proper for her suerty and satisfaction and will shew the same to the Ambassadors, they will employ ther power therin.
