Extract:
Igitur quia postulasti a nobis quatenus reverendissima Beneventanensis Ecclesia, Deo favente, priviligiis reverendissimae sedis apostolicae decoraretur.
‘Therefore, because you asked it of us, with God’s favour, the most revered church of Benevento will be adorned with the privileges of the most revered apostolic see’
