Reverendissime in Christo pater et domine, domine mi clementissime, benefactor modis omnibus colendissime. Fidissimorum obsequiorum meorum praemissa diligenti commendatione.

Quod Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra ad interrogationem servitoris sui per me factam litteras mihi tam gratiosas scribere dignata est, ingentes et eas quidem immortales ago et habeo gratias Reverendissimae Paternitati Vestrae, quae me cum semper et perpetuo habebit, quem vult habere et quae futura sunt pro gloria et honore Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae domusque eiusdem, paratus sum omnia facere firmamque spem habeo, quod Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra me ea gratia et domum meam prosequi non desistat, quemadmodum mihi iam multis modis pollicita sit. Nova, quae accepi ex aula serenissimi principis et regis nostri, nulla sunt alia apud me, nisi ea, quae scripsit Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra venerabili domino custodi. Hoc tamen unum, quod articulos tres, quos sacra Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austriamaiestas regiaSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria misit per levem nuntium Moldavo, Moldavus non acceptavit et ita bellum continuabitur, si non immutaverit voluntatem suam Moldavus. Cum his me et omnia mea commendo iterum atque iterum in gratiam Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae, quam diu et felicissime vivere opto.
