Salutem in Domino et optatam felicitatem cum integra sanitate Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationi precamur.

Cum Vestra Reverendissima Dominatione silente hactenus silui, necessitas tamen religionis sanctae, quae negligentia pastorum a pravis et pseudo-catholicis depravatur haeresique commaculatur, fecit nos rumpere silentium et Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationi pro officio nostro intimare, quae de Citizens of Thorn ⌊ThorunensibusCitizens of Thorn ⌋, Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationis dioecesanis et curae subiectis, ab hominibus fide dignis praedicantur. Porro hoc de Citizens of Thorn ⌊ThorunensibusCitizens of Thorn ⌋ palam dicitur, quod praeter unum consules omnes depravati sunt et haeresim Lutheram, ut dicitur, auctore magistro Georgio scriba civitatis, amplexi sunt et eandem profitentur, caerimonias officii divini nihil penden(tes) or penden(do)⌈penden(tes)penden(tes) or penden(do)⌉. Ne autem haec perversitas in scandalum proborum Christianorum perniciose illic crescat et firmetur, nostrum enim debitum est Vestram Reverendissimam Dominationem commonefacere et Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationi interest sagaciter et impigre providere, ne malum hoc se extendat ulterius. Principiis nempe obstandum est, quatinus cf. Cic. Off. 1.81 Quamquam hoc animi, illud etiam ingenii magni est, praecipere cogitatione futura et aliquanto ante constituere, quid accidere possit in utramque partem et quid agendum sit, cum quid evenerit, nec committere, ut aliquando dicendum sit “non putaram”.; V. Max. 7.2.2 Scipio vero Africanus turpe esse aiebat in re militari dicere “non putaram”, videlicet quia explorato et excusso consilio quae ferro aguntur administrari oportere arbitrabatur.

Vestra itaque Reverendissima Dominatio pro suae prudentiae dexteritate atque pro debito officii sui mature provideat, ut si quid illic scrupulosum, quod offendat, natum sit, ne radices agat, illico evelatur. Certiores praeterea facti sumus, quod Clement VII (Giulio de' Medici) (*1478 – †1534), 1523-1534 Pope⌊sanctissimus dominus nosterClement VII (Giulio de' Medici) (*1478 – †1534), 1523-1534 Pope⌋ vita functus sit. Solliciti autem de substituendo successore sunt Charles V of Habsburg (*1500 – †1558), ruler of the Burgundian territories (1506-1555), King of Spain as Charles I (1516-1556), King of Naples and Sicily, King of the Romans (1519-1530), Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation (elected 1519, crowned 1530, abdicated 1556); son of Philip I the Handsome and Joanna the Mad of Castile⌊imperialis maiestasCharles V of Habsburg (*1500 – †1558), ruler of the Burgundian territories (1506-1555), King of Spain as Charles I (1516-1556), King of Naples and Sicily, King of the Romans (1519-1530), Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation (elected 1519, crowned 1530, abdicated 1556); son of Philip I the Handsome and Joanna the Mad of Castile⌋ et Francis I of Valois (*1494 – †1547), 1515-1547 King of France; son of Charles, Count of Angoulême, and Louise of Savoy⌊rex christianissimusFrancis I of Valois (*1494 – †1547), 1515-1547 King of France; son of Charles, Count of Angoulême, and Louise of Savoy⌋, ut eorum quilibet talem procuret eligere, qui parti suae adhaereat. Verendum itaque est, ne schisma perniciosum, quod Deus procul vertat, ad vexandam sanctam ecclesiam invehatur. Et ideo tanto vigilantius in hac nostra provincia per nos pontifices curandus est status sanctae religionis, ut nihil in libris et dogmatibus, quod perversum et temerarium sit, inseratur.
