MAHOMET the fourth Son of Emperors, and of the Famous and Renowned God, Emperor of the Turks, King of Greece, Macedonia, Moldavia, Samaria, and Hegha, King of great and lesser egypt, King of all the Inhabitants of the Earth, and Prince of the Earthly paradise; acknowledged Prince and Son of Mahomet, preserver of the Cities of Hungaria, Possessor of the Sepulchre of your God, Lord of all the Emperors of the World; from the rising of the Sun, to the going down thereof: King of all Kings, Lord of the three of Life, Conqueror of the Melonian Hegley, and the City Prokenix, the great Persecutor of the Christians and all wicked people, joy of the flourishing World, Commander and Guardian of your Crucified God, Lord of the multitude of the Heathens: We Command ye to Greet the Emperor Leopold, in Case he desire it, and you are a Friend to our Majesty whose Power and Will we have extended very far:  
you have for some time past acted to our prejudice, and violated our Friendship; tho' We have not offended you either by War or otherwise, yet you have taken secret advice with other Kings, and your Councils how to shake off your yoke; in which you have proceeded very indiscreetly; and thereby you have exposed your people to fear and danger, who have nothing to expect now but Death, which you have brought upon yourselves; for I declare I will make myself your Master,& pursue you from the East to the West, and extend my Majesty to the End of the Earth: in the procedure of all which you shall find my Power exerted to your extreme prejudice,& shall feel the dreadful effects of my Wrath; and since you have put your hope in the strength of some Towns and Castles, I have given Command to overthrow them, and trample under my Horses feet all that is delightful to you leaving no room hereafter to make friendship with me, or suffer you any fortified place to remain to put yotr trust in; for I have resolved forthwith to destroy you and your people, and to despoil you of the German Empire after my Will, Leaving in the Empire a remembrance of my dreadful Sword, that it may publicly appear that I will establish my Religion therein, and pursue your Crucified God: whose Wrath I fear not, nor his Coming to defend, or deliver you out of my hands; but will condemn your Sacred Priests to the Plough, and suffer the Breasts of your wives to be sucked by dogs and Beasts; you will do well to forsake your Religion, otherwise I will give Order to Consume you with Fire: this is enough to let you understand my Will; if you will be so wise as to know it.
