Non tuae erga me humanitatis oblivione factum est, Amplissime Praesul, quo minus Amplitudini Tuae hactenus scripserim, sed et locorum longinquitas et continuae meae peregrinationes me ab hoc officio facile avertere potuerunt. Quod potui, Amplitudinem Tuam semper gratissimo animo observavi, simulque de omni ipsius successu continue ac diligenter inuestigavi, eidem saepius mecum gratulando de parta sibi iam diu totiesque expetita quiete, nec sine spe datum mihi iri aliquando occasionem, qua ut laborum tuorum ita et ipsius quietis testis esse posim. Nam si continget mihi unquam Poland (Kingdom of Poland, Polonia)⌊PoloniaePoland (Kingdom of Poland, Polonia)⌋ fines intrare, vix potero me retinere, quin Amplitudinem Tuam propriis in laribus perquiram visamque.
