Ioannes DANTISCUS do Tiedemann GIESE
Heilsberg (Lidzbark Warmiński), 1539-04-12

Regest polski: Dantyszek cieszy się z zawartej w liście Giesego deklaracji przyjaźni oraz lojalności w sprawie Aleksandra [Scultetiego] i zapewnia o swojej nieodmiennej życzliwości.
W momencie nadejścia listu Giesego [11 kwietnia] Dantyszek odbywał naradę z kasztelanem gdańskim [Achacym Cemą]. Obu im spodobało się stanowisko Giesego oraz rady Torunia. Kasztelan zobowiązał się rozmawiać z tych pozycji z księciem [Albrechtem Hohenzollernem], do którego wyruszył następnego dnia.
Z powodu pojawienia się zarazy w Malborku uznali za wskazane, by zwrócić się do króla [Zygmunta I], aby wskazał inną lokalizację i realny termin najbliższego sejmu [pruskiego], np. na niedzielę Trójcy [1 czerwca] w Elblągu. Dantyszek prosi Giesego o przekazanie tej informacji innym senatorom [pruskim].
Fabian [Cema] przekazał z Krakowa swemu bratu [Achacemu] nowiny przywiezione na dwór przez posła króla rzymskiego [Ferdynanda]: cesarz [Karol V] i król Francji [Franciszek I] wyruszyli wspólnie z ogromną flotą przeciw sułtanowi [Sulejmanowi Wspaniałemu], by — jak głoszą plotki — odzyskać Rodos. Informację tę potwierdził w liście do Dantyszka elekt lundzki i konstancki [Johann Weze]. Obecnie podąża on na sejm [Rzeszy] we Frankfurcie jako komisarz generalny cesarza w sprawach religii, pełen nadziei na zakończenie konfliktów wyznaniowych.
Dantyszek uważa za wskazane zarządzenie w diecezjach [chełmińskiej i warmińskiej] modłów w intencji powodzenia wyprawy przeciw sułtanowi.
