You ever try to read Middle English from 500 years ago? It’s unreadable. Probably a big issue here.

1540s would be early Modern English not Middle English, so don’t think legibility is as big an issue as you’re implying. Also this dude was the Holy Roman Emperor so it probably wasn’t even written in English
