Facile patitur ea in Septembrem reici neque moleste fert in Maio mense habita non esse,cum iusta sit excusatio, quam attulit Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra ceterique domini consiliarii.

Quod dignitates attinet, verum est istud, quod proverbio dici solet, post festum venire miserum est. Iam fuerunt distributae me languente, priusquam litterae Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationis essent mihi redditae. De lacu, quemadmodum se res habeat, nihil attinet eadem toties repetere, prioribus meis litteris abunde perscripsi. Ego hisce diebus adversa sum valetudine conflictatus, totos decem dies intra aedium mearum parietes me continui. Hodie primum data est exeundi potestas.

Commendatio Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae quantum mihi sit profutura, nescio. Hoc ad me delatum est, quod cum admonita esset per scribam suum, hominem BCz, 1597, p. 710 mei studiosum, ut responderet aliquid ad commendationem Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae, vultu non satis benigno, negavit eam partem responsionis indigere hidden by binding[re]re hidden by binding. Quicquid Divina Maiestas statuere de me fuerit dignata, id ego animo feram aequissimo.

Quod postulat a me Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra, ut illius propugnationem suscipiam, si qui contra eam aliquid moliri velint, quo de Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria
