BCz, 1599, p. 363

Reverendissime in Christo Pater, domine, amice et frater carissime ac in maioribus honoran(de) or honoran(dissime)honoran(de)honoran(de) or honoran(dissime).

Officia mea Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae defero eamque plurima impertior salute.

Post discessum Mauritii attulit mihi litteras servitor Reverendissmae Dominationis Vestrae, hic, qui has illi meas reddet. In quibus, quid de vicino suo scripsit, intellexi. Ceterum hoc tempore commoditatem cum sacra maiestate regia iis de rebus conferendi habere nequivi, propterea quod maiestas eius male valere coepit. Nactus hac commoditatem meliorem et agam cum illius maiestate, et Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae per dominum Kostka, qui hic nunc est, respondebo. Nunc hoc dumtaxat significandum illi duxi perlatas eas ad me litteras.

Ex Hungaria huc nihil nunc novi affertur, quam quod imperator Thurcarum ad centum milia hominum illic reliquit praesidiisque castra omnia, quae aestate proxima expugnavit, firmasse dicitur.

Germanorum exercitus nulla re praeclare gesta dissipatus est, Bohemis dicto audientes esse nolentibus. Hiemem hanc consultationibus ineundis consumere volunt et celerem aliquam resistendi hostibus viam quaerere. Quos eorum conatus dominus Deus promovere dignetur. Ceterum parvam eius rei spem Germani principes ostendunt, qui internecivis odiis perpetuo inter se BCz, 1599, p. 364 confligere viresque suas in se ipsis ostentare hidden by binding[e]e hidden by binding, quam de dignitate conservanda cogitare ac de sua suorumque salute tuenda malunt.
