Reverendissime Domine, domine et amice singulariter gratiose ac honorande.

Post solitam sui commendationem. Salutem et omnem pro voto animi accessionem Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationi ex animi mei sententia exopto.

Praeterea confisus gratiae et favoribus Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationis, in qua ego numquam dubitavi, immo eandem mihi semper parare studui, ut tempore se offerente in negotiis quibusvis ea amicitia Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationis uti valeam. Quid itaque acciderit negotium hoc domini Adae Valowski, generis mei, occasionem, cuius coram Vestra Reverendissima Dominatione ceterisque Council of Royal Prussia the most important local authority in Royal Prussia. It consisted of two bishops (of Ermland (Warmia), who served as the Council’s president, and of Kulm (Chełmno)), three voivodes (of Kulm, Marienburg (Malbork), and Pomerania), three castellans (of Kulm, Elbing (Elbląg), and Gdańsk (Danzig)), three chamberlains (of Kulm, Marienburg, and Pomerania), and representatives of the three Great Prussian Cities – Gdańsk, Thorn (Toruń), and Elbing (ACHREMCZYK 2016, p. 17-18)⌊dominis consiliariis ducatus PrussiaeCouncil of Royal Prussia the most important local authority in Royal Prussia.

Vestram itaque Reverendissimam Dominationem, dominum et amicum meum gratiosum, rogo, quatenus Vestra Reverendissima Dominatio in causa et actione eiusdem domini Valowski satis iusta consilio et auxilio adesse dignetur, uti ex eodem domino Valowski vel ex eo, qui rem ipsius custodiet, in ea causa Vestra Reverendissima Dominatio latius intelligere dignabitur, quam ego uti meam propriam fore existimo. Certusque sum Vestram Reverendissimam Dominationem in praemissis erga eundem dominum Valowski gratiose se exhibere dignaturam eamque benevolentiam et amicitiam Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationis in praemissis exhibitam modis omnibus remereri et referre studebo semper.
