Exempla literarum augustalium quibus comprobatur Ius Familiaritatis Augustalis ac Privilegium, quo cavetur, ne inscio Heroldo, quae scribat aut è tenebris eruat, à quoquam imprimatur

all and individual, our and the sacred Roman Empire’s subjects, and beloved faithful, both Ecclesiastical and Secular, of whatever grade, order, status, condition, and dignity they may be, especially truly those who are constituted in the magistracy, or who exercise the administration of law and justice in their own name and place, or that of their superiors, that they suffer no one to violate, scorn, or neglect this our privilege or interdict with impunity, but if they shall find any obstinate, they should take care that they be punished by the prescribed penalty, and coerced by whatever ways it can be rightly done, provided they do not wish to incur our most grave indignation and the same fine. For that these are ratified and firm, we wish to be attested by these our letters which we have given, fortified by the subscription of our hand and the affixing of our seal, in our and the sacred Roman Empire’s city of Augsburg, on the twenty-second day of the month of March, in the year of our Lord One thousand five hundred and fifty-nine. Of our Roman reigns the twenty-ninth, and of others the thirty-third.
