P[o]st mei et [servitior]um meorum humillimam commendati[o]nem.

R[everendissime i]n Christo Pater et Domine, domine colendissime.

Proficiscitur ad Reverendissimam Paternitatem Vestram praesentium exhibitor Petrus Canigowski, adolescens nobilis, famulitio Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae addictus. Qui cum id a me peteret, ut illum Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae commendarem, id homini digno commendatione et bene merito denegare non licuit. Is namque aliquamdiu mecum exsistens mansuetudini illectus ac virtuti, fidum in omnibus, diligentem ac sincerum se mihi servitorem exhibuit, quidem bono nomine dignus sit et commendatione. Quocirca Reverendissimam Paternitatem Vestram humillima prece exoro, dignetur eundem numero servitorum suorum annumerare et gratia sua amplecti eoque loco, quod illi assignare dignata est, in curia sua non frustrare.

Qui si umquam Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae vel eius servitoribus meritis meis servire potero, offero me ad mandata benevolentem et deditissimum. Cuius gratiae et benignitati me commendo cupiens, ut illam Deus maximus sane et felicissime in ea dignissima sacerdotii apice confovere et conservare ac ad maiora tandem exaltare dignetur. Pro quo mihi et meae toti congregationi non deerit oratio indefessa.
