The golden crown and the scarlet robe which ye sent unto us we have received; and we are ready to make a steadfast peace with you, yea, and to write unto our officers to confirm the immunities which we have granted.

As for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, we forgive it, and the crown tax also which ye owe us; and if there were any other tribute paid in Jerusalem, it shall no more be paid.
