Reverende in Christo Pater, domine sincere nobis dilecte.

Nuper mox a festo sanctae Luciae ex comitiis regni nostri Piotrcoviensibus miseramus ad serenissimum Ioannem, Ungariae regem, simulque ad exercitum serenissimi regis Ferdinandi, Budam obsidentem, nuntium nostrum, generosum Stanislaum Costka de Stemberg, capitaneum Golubensem, promovendo negotium indutiarum annualium, medio nostrorum et ill(ustris) or ill(ustrissimi)⌈ill(ustris)ill(ustris) or ill(ustrissimi)⌉ domini Georgii, Saxoniae ducis, oratorum non pridem in dieta Poznaniensi inter oratores regum praefatorum condictarum et confectarum, et cum hae curae, quemadmodum aliae quoque plurimae, per nos ab initio controversiae inter ipsos principes exortae et sincere et diligenter ad componendam pacem et avertendum hoc perniciosum bellum exhibitae, magno malo Christianorum in cassum abierint et rediens nuntius noster praefatus ex Hungaria rettulit ea, quae illi a serenissimo rege Ioanne pro responso data sunt, attulitque etiam quaedam alia, quae dominus Ludovicus Gritti, ducis Venetiarum filius, per eum partim in scriptis, partim etiam verbis nobis significavit: quae noluimus celare a sacra caesarea et catholica maiestate, tumque a serenissimo rege Ferdinando, quibus Paternitas Tua iuxta instructionem nostram, praesentibus annexam, secretius omnia exponet. Interest namque maiestatibus suis scire, et quae hostis molitur, et qualiter illius conatibus occurri possit. Commendabitque Paternitas Vestra maiestatibus eorum constans studium nostrum, quo nihil hactenus intemptatum reliquimus, quod ad bonum Christianae rei publicae procurandum opportunum et utile censuimus.
