Reverendissime in Christo Pater, eximie antistes et domine, domine gratiose.

Obsequia nostra indefessa sint in vota Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae unice destinata.

Reverendissime ac gratiose domine.

Quandoquidem negotium legationis ad illustrem Albrecht I von Hohenzollern-Ansbach (Albrecht von Brandenburg) (*1490 – †1568), 1511-1525 Grand Master of the Teutonic Order; from 1525 to his death Duke in Prussia as a liegeman of the Polish king; son of Friedrich V of Brandenburg der Ältere and Sophia Jagiellon (daughter of Casimir IV Jagiellon), nephew of Sigismund I, King of Poland; founder of the university in Königsberg (1544)Prussiae principemAlbrecht I von Hohenzollern-Ansbach (Albrecht von Brandenburg) (*1490 – †1568), 1511-1525 Grand Master of the Teutonic Order; from 1525 to his death Duke in Prussia as a liegeman of the Polish king; son of Friedrich V of Brandenburg der Ältere and Sophia Jagiellon (daughter of Casimir IV Jagiellon), nephew of Sigismund I, King of Poland; founder of the university in Königsberg (1544) in communibus gravaminibus obeundae ad nos fuit relatum, capitulari deliberatione perhabita Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitati significavimus ea, quae nobis ad rem et utilia, et necessaria pro qualitate temporum et hominum videbantur. Tamen quia Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra alias rationes habet et expedire putat, quo nuntii mittantur, nos facile easdem admittimus atque in eandem legationem consentimus etc., verum cum immineant dies dissolutionis, quibus passim contingit liberius et vivere, et etiam paululum insolentius agere, veremur, ne in tabernis rusticorum male consulamus honestati mittendorum. Totum tamen reicimus ad velle et videre Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae, ut ipsa definiat, quando ipsos nuntios apud eandem Reverendissimam Paternitatem Vestram constitui placeat.

Vestram Reverendissimam Paternitatem aeterno Deo et nos eius gratiae ex sententia commendantes.
