Moreover, the noble Cattrina has but to-day asked my leave to ride from Venice to-morrow, having urgent business at Avignon at the Court of Pope Clement.

So I decree that this combat _a outrance_ shall take place in our presence on the Campo del Marte to-morrow, three hours before noon, ere the sun grows too hot.

To all the details of the combat our heralds will attend forthwith.

Officer, take soldiers and escort the Ambassador and the Champion of his Grace of England, together with this Captain of Archers, back to their own door.

Set guards there and see that none molest them by word or deed under pain of fine and strait imprisonment.
