I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ's heralds to publish this everywhere and to purse, which is another way of saying to persuade, all people of whatever rank, foot soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians, so to the Byzantines, and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. When he's talking about vile race, he's talking about the Muslims who have control of the Anatolian Peninsula and of the Holy Land. I say this to those who are present. It is meant also for those who are absent. Moreover, Christ commands it. And according to this account, he goes on to say, all who die by the way, whether by land or by sea or in battle against the pagans, shall have immediate remission of sins. So this is this idea of indulgences, where hey, you do something for me, I can forgive your sins.
