[28] Translation: By the love of God and that of Christian people
and of our common salvation, from this day on, in so far as God
shall grant me knowledge and power, I will support my brother Karl,
here present, by every manner of help, as one must, in duty bound,
support one’s brother, provided he acts in the same manner with me;
neither will I ever make agreements with Lothaire which, through my
own will, shall prejudice my brother Karl here present.
