The manuscript is divided by the author into three parts of almost equal length. The first part describes the empire in general terms: geography, military organization, administration, and judicial system. The second part deals with the queen, Mary (the Catholic or the bloody, daughter of Henry the Eighth and Catherine of Aragon). It discusses her great virtue, her suffering for the interests of others, her pain at not having children, and various facts of her reign, especially the religious situation. The third part talks about the king and the various personages of the court: counselors, cardinals, nobles. It ends with the praising of the generosity of the queen for the great gift she gave to the ambassador.
