Now, having assembled Our rebellious subjects again and put them in corps-d'armes and called them with the foreign forces led by the Duke of Parma and other captains from Lorraine, Italy and Savoy, We on Our part summoned Our victorious and affectionate nobility to the preservation of this state in order, with the forces that We have outside, to oppose their enterprise, resolved to fight and defeat Our said enemies in battle or otherwise with the assistance of this great God of battles who always favours the good causes if one uses his grace with worthy repentance and acknowledgement of his sins. And since this victory that We hope for from God concerns the good and common rest of all Our good subjects, it is very reasonable that each one also brings in no way his prayers and voices to divert the wrath of God from above us and make it pitiful to the calamities and miseries which so harshly afflict Our poor kingdom. For this reason, We hereby urge and enjoin you that, immediately after these said receipts, you go to warn and admonish all those of the clergy of Our city………and surrounding parishes to prepare themselves to make public prayers and similarly with the usual litanies and processions to warn and united all the people to this devotion which will imbue the grace and mercy of God and the happy success of the victory that we expect from him over Our enemies').
