Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine mi clementissime.

Praemissa obsequiorum meorum diligenti commendatione.

Cum se obtulit servitor Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae, nolui eum dimittere absque litteris meis ad Reverendissimam Paternitatem Vestram. Quod eandem sanam atque incolumem intellexi, plurimum gaudeo assiduisque precibus Dominum Deum precor, velit eandem quam diutissime conservare pro singulari gratia et bono domus meae.

Reverendissime Domine.

Cum fui non pridem apud Vestram Reverendissimam Paternitatem, feci aliquam mentionem de inquietatione Ermland Chapter cathedral chapter based in Frauenburg (Frombork, Varmia)⌊confratrumErmland Chapter cathedral chapter based in Frauenburg (Frombork, Varmia)⌋ meorum, qua inquietor indies. Meminit Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra de eadem se scire et tamen non aperuit mihi, quod nonnulla scripta de me lecta fuissent in Provincial Diet of Royal Prussia ⌊conventuProvincial Diet of Royal Prussia ⌋ Thorunensi. Commiseram nonnullis ex Ermland Chapter cathedral chapter based in Frauenburg (Frombork, Varmia)⌊meisErmland Chapter cathedral chapter based in Frauenburg (Frombork, Varmia)⌋, quod si quis velit me culpare et de me aliquid dicere sinistre vel legere, quod eisdem responso meo, quod amicis dederam, responderetur, et amici soli respondissent. Cum tamen non est factum et res lecta est in conclavi, ego Domino volente respondebo publice non in uno Provincial Diet of Royal Prussia ⌊conventuProvincial Diet of Royal Prussia ⌋, sed in pluribus etc., ita quod placebit Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitati et omnibus bonis on the margin⌈bonisbonis on the margin⌉ et honestis.

Multa mihi dixit Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra de patientia. Forsitan nullus monachus posset ea ferre, quae ego aliquando tuli et fero.
