In manus proprias

Reverendissime in Christo Pater, domine amice mihi carissime ac honorandissime.

Quia Vestra Reverendissima Paternitas me litteris suis tam amice salutat atque invisit, gratiam ei habeo magnam, utrumque enim ab optimo in me animo profectum esse non dubito. Idipsum ut Vestra Reverendissima Paternitas de me sibi polliceatur, velim et qui integerrimam ei salutem et omnium accessiones fortunarum, quas bono viro eidemque mihi amicissimo debeo, ex animo faveam.

Quod vero mihi scripsit pro Teofil Michorowski client of Piotr Kmita⌊Theophilo MichorowskiTeofil Michorowski client of Piotr Kmita⌋, sciat iam pro eo in contumaciam adversarii iudicatum esse existimoque iam deinceps fenestram non fore, qua vincula eius ille Protheus effugere possit. Quae res tamen ut iam tandem felicius succederet, a Vestra Reverendissima Paternitate peto, quantum sua auctoritate et consilio potest, eundem Teofil Michorowski client of Piotr Kmita⌊MichorowskiTeofil Michorowski client of Piotr Kmita⌋ causa mea et iusti consequendi adiutet, ut ne malevolorum hominum importunitas tantum audaciae ad nocendum bonis viris sibi sumat.

Ego vero mihi factum interpretabor, quicquid Vestra Paternitas in illum humanitatis contulerit.

Cuius amori antiquo me commendo diligenter.
