Wednesday, mane. This morning, when Emericus Sontag went up to the Castle for answer from the Emperor, by the Noble Octavius Spinola he received the effect of this answer, which I required the same Emericus to write down with his own hand (for sundry respects), which his own handwriting I have annexed for greater proof of the matter. And because his writing is not easy to be read, I have written it plainer somewhat, as followeth: His Blessed Cesarean Majesty generously understands what Master John Dee, through his Majesty's Chamberlain, Lord Octavius Spinola, has taken the trouble to propose: in response to which, he has graciously taken the following decision. Since he is not perfectly skilled in the Latin tongue in every detail: and furthermore being occupied with many divers affairs of State, will not always have the leisure to grant an audience: it seems to his Majesty that the said Master Dee should be willing to entrust his business to the magnificent Master Dr Curtz. The said Emericus being (by the Noble Spinola) willed at Evensong time to bring my answer herein, I required the same Emericus to understand when and how soon Dr Curtz should be made privy of his Majesty's pleasure herein.
