     Et uós, que auedes tã bõo syso, que entẽdedes o mal et o destroymento et a perda et a cofondiçõ que y a todos acaesçeu, deujades de falar cõ os outros que son [en] esta oste cordos et entẽdidos, en maneyra que dessemos fin a esta guerra et ouuessemos paz, que ja tenpo era; ca tãto ha ja durado o mal que eu ben creo que nũca esta perda será cobrada ata a fin do mũdo.

     And you, who have such a good judgement, who understand the damage and destruction and loss and confusion that there happened to everyone, you should speak with the others in this army who are judicious and intelligent, so that we end this war and have peace, since it was time; because the evil has last for so long that I certainly believe that never this loss will be recovered till the end of the world.
