We remind and admonish the spiritual dignitaries and alienators of church properties […]: Furthermore, because chalices are sometimes pawned off to Jews, it has been said, that a certain rudeness of the worst kind has been committed by the enemies of (the cross of) Christ to disgrace the Christian belief. Therefore, in order to avoid such detrimental hazards, we command that none of our subordinates shall from now on arrogate themselves to pawn off any inaugurated chalices to Jews* or to agree to pawn them off or allow them to be pawned off under the punishment of excommunication. Furthermore, we want those offenders, as (we have) put forward in this letter, to be automatically subjected to the punishment of excommunication, and we decide that any such deposits are deemed ineffective.

Likewise as when it was once instituted with the utmost sacristy in the holy council, that under the pretext of maintaining the nourishment of their children, Jews are not permitted to have Christian (servants/wet nurses) in their home, neither for service nor for any other reason whatsoever. Accordingly, those Christians will be excommunicated who dare to live with them (Jews), since they (Jews) are able to turn the minds of simple Christians towards their own superstitions, faithlessness, and accursed greediness on account of their continuous association and persistent acquaintance…we conclude that within two months of the publication of this statute that all Christians in our province, who house Jews in their homes under whatever pretext, leave, never to thereafter return.

Henry VII justifies this moratorium by referring to the costs and efforts (“labores et expensas gravissimas”) the Christian community of Esslingen had to endure in the war against Count Eberhard I of Württemberg whom he calls the enemy (“inimico”). By freeing them of these debts, the citizens of Esslingen are to lead the war that much more vigorously in the future (“viriliter et constanter”).
