| So soon as it has been notified to us by the relation of our well-beloved familiar, the noble John Chicheley, citizen and chamberlain of London, (fn. 1) that that distinguished youth Reynold, his son, had by your favour and courtesy been so provided for, that there was intrusted to him that splendid and renowned office of Rector of the University (almi studii) in your city of Ferrara, we therefore return you the most hearty thanks, for it was desirable for us that this Reynold should, by his ability and probity, deserve the favour of so great and magnificent a prince, so much especially to the honour of our country, of his parents, house, and family. This Reynold, therefore, we now recommend to you in the strongest possible manner, and we pray you, out of regard for this our recommendation, to add something to your first act of kindness and grace towards this youth, and henceforth to show him yet more favour, and this will be acceptable to us, who are very much disposed to do whatever may be agreeable to you. Be healthful and happy. | |
