Reverendissime in Christo Pater ac Domine colendissime.

Post humillimam orationum nostrarum in gratiam commendationem.

Suscepimus nuper ex Marienburgk Vestram Reverendissimam Paternitatem prono animo petitionibus nostris annuisse. Quare praesentes monasterii nostri fratres, scilicet Fabianum in diaconatu existente ordinandum in praesbyterum, nec non Ioannem Iodocum et Adrianum ordinandos in acolitos, tandemque in subdiaconos scientiis competentes et ad officii ecclesiastici ministrationem (ut speramus) idoneos Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitati decrevimus commendare, humiliter supplicantes, ut Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra eosdem benigniter suscipere ac causa Dei et ob amorem religionis sanctae sacris ordinibus insignire dignetur.

Cuiusquidem beneficii mercedem Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra absque dubio a Deo Optimo Maximo (cui eandem Reverendissimam Paternitatem Vestram tempora per longissima feliciter committimus conservandam) est receptura.

Ex Oliva, die Lunae, paenultima mensis Mai anno Domini 1547.

Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitatis humilis et devotus orator, frater Adrianus monasterii Olivensis abbas indignus
