Annotatio III §.VIII Rescript: Private colloquies and letters abroad; procure church peace at least in Our realm
Yours, then, as Bishop and President of this whole assembly, will be to make those Assessors sure of Our most clement will declared in this Rescript.
Meet and confer with them first inside private walls, without noise.
See that — by colloquies and by letters to foreign theologians — solid means are found by which the church peace all Evangelical Protestants long for may be procured and settled, if not elsewhere, at least in Our Kingdom, Electorate, and other lands.
Latin
Tuum itaque, ceu Episcopi, totiusque hujus Consessus Praesidis, erit, nominatos Viros Assessores tuos de clementissima voluntate Nostra, Rescripto hoc declarata, certiores facere, cum iisdem, intra privatos primùm parietes, sine strepitu, convenire ac colloqui, idque agere, ut tùm per colloquia, tùm literas, ad extraneos Theologos dandas, valida media inveniantur, quibus Pax Ecclesiastica, omnibus Protestantium Evangelicorum votis exoptata, si non alibi, in Nostro saltem Regno, Electoratu exterisque terris, procuretur & stabiliatur.
