The tenor of a Letter sent by Carolus Magnus to king Offa, answering to his request concerning the entreaty of peace between them. 1Carolus Rex Francorum & Longobardorum, Patricius Romanorum viro venerando, & fratri charissimo Offae Regi Merciorum Salut. Primò gratias agimus omnipotenti Deo, de Catholicae fidei sinceritate, quam in vestris laudabilibus paginis reperimus exaratam. De peregrinis verò qui pro amore Dei, & salute animarum suarum, beatorum Apostolorum limina desiderant adire, cum pace sine omni perturbatione vadant. Sed si aliqui religioni non seruientes, sed lucra sectantes inueniantur inter eos, locis opportunis statuta soluant telonia. Negociatores quoque volumus ut ex mandato nostro patrocinum habeant in regno nostrolegitime. Et si in aliquo loco, iniusta affligantur oppression, reclament se ad nos, vel nostros judices, & plenam •• stitiam jubemus fieri. Cognoscat quoque dilectio vestta quod aliquam benignitatem de Delmaticis nostris vel pallijs ad singulas sedes Episcopales regni vestri vel Ethelredi direximus, in eleemosinam Domini Apostolici Adriani, deprecantes ut pro eo intercedi jubeatis, nullam habentes dubitationem beatam illius animam in requie esse, sed ut fidem & dilectionem ostendamus in amicum nobis charissimum. Sed & de thesauro humanarum rerum, quum Dominus Jesus gratuita pietate concessit aliquid per Metropolitanas civitates: Direximus vestrae quoque dilectioni unum baltheum, & unum gladium & duo pallia serica, &c.
