BCz, 1595, p. 485

Reverendissime domine, domine mi observandissime.

Annus hic, quem mihi Vestra Reverendissima Dominatio precatur felicem, male mihi iniit, nam in uno hoc mense duos fratres, alterum germanum et carissimum, alterum patruelem, amisi, pro omnibus tamen, ut aequum est, ago gratias Domino Deo. Ille dedit, ille et abstulit, sit nomen eius benedictum. Opto, ne aliquid tale Vestram Reverendissimam Dominationem perturbet, cui et faveo et precor tam hunc annum quam alios sequentes multo felicissimos. Ad priores litteras Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationis dudum respondit reverendissimus dominus episcopus Cracoviensis et nunc repetit atque mittit libertatem ex concessione regia contributionis percipiendae.

Ut annuat votis Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima episcoporum domini ducis, neque ratio neque iuris dispositio fert, verum illi, ut novam religionem susceperunt, nova quoque iura condere volunt, quibus tamen, nisi eorum subditi, parere nemo cogitur, episcoporum namque dioeceses sunt distinctae, ut quisque suas oves agnoscat, regat et iudicet, sed in alienam messem falcem non mittat. Exemplum articulorum confoederationis fuit missum per dominum episcopum Cracoviensem.

Coadiutoriae Varmiensis negotium silet et silebit, ita enim obfirmatus est animus regius, ne id fieri annuat.

Quod Vestra Reverendissima Dominatio consecrationem suam in aliud tempus differre vellet, non probatur reverendissimo Piotr Tomicki (*1464 – †1535), humanist, statesman, diplomat, one of the most trusted collaborators of King Sigismund I of Poland; 1500-1503 Chancellor of Cardinal Fryderyk Jagiellon, 1502 Gniezno Cantor, Archdeacon of Cracow, 1503-1505 servant of Jan Lubrański, Bishop of Poznań, 1504-1510 Canon of Poznań, 1506 royal scribe, 1507-1519 Grand(?)

Nam hoc pernicioso saeculo magna cautione opus est, praesertim propter eos, qui quaerunt nodum superinscribed⌈nodumnodum superinscribed⌉ in scirpo et, ut libere dicam, quod offendit, sunt ex omni nonnulli, qui (serio an ioco, nescio) dicant Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam non ex animo contendere cum Lutheranis, leves quidem illi written over e⌈eii written over e⌉, sed apud magnos aliquando effutiunt haec, quae ego pro meo in Vestram Reverendissimam Dominationem amore reticere nolui, ut illis cognitis sciat pro prudentia sua mederi. Pro novis ago gratias, sed quae vicissim hinc scribam, nihil tale occurrit. Non dubito accepisse Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam, quod dominus castellanus Cracoviensis sit vita functus, post cuius obitum fit, quod fieri solet in tantis officiorum vacationibus, multi quidem currunt, sed pauci, quos aequus amat Iuppiter. Nos hic agimus quidem comitias, sed vix aliud decernetur quam generalis expeditio in malum commune. Noster Nipczycz nondum rediit a rege Ferdinando, qui ducit BCz, 1595, p. 487 rem in moram propter quaedam stratagemata, quibus hactenus confidens, subiit damna non modica. Credo tamen, quod consentiet tractari concordiam in aula principis nostri, ut scripsit Nipszycz. Imperator est Bononiae cum papa. Cum papa cf.
