Quotation et maxime quia sciebat se totius Christianitatis curam suae provisioni delegatam, de pace inter ipsos reformanda primo ducem et comitem, principemque pariter conveniens, attentare coepit. Qui, consilio comitis, prudenti responsione usi, in praesentia apostolici, qui sane vice beati Petri dicunt se jus inire, si a Capuanis pari discrimine idem exequebatur, concedunt. Papa infra urbem idem de Capuanis rescitum vadens, dum ab utrisque partibus conceditur, spe conficiendae pacis frustra gaudens, renuntiat. Dies disputandi statuitur
Translation Above all he knew that to his provision had been entrusted care for the whole of Christendom. So he summoned first the duke and the count, along with the prince, and began the discussions about making a peace between them and the Capuans. On the count's advice they made a reasonable reply, conceding that the matter should receive legal judgement in the pope's presence, since as they rightly said he was St. Peter's deputy, provided that the Capuans were prepared to abide by the same terms
