Reverendissime in Christo Princeps ac Domine, domine clementissime.

Post debitam humillimamque studiorum meorum commendationem.

Reverendissimae Celsitudini Vestrae gratias immortales ago, quae me miserum suis gratia cum singulari liberalitate coniuncta refertis litteris salutare non dedignata est. Nam non modo summum prae se ferebant favorem animique tanto heroe dignum, verum etiam in me iuvando ornandoque maximopere occupatae erant, adeo ut mihi nihil umquam gratius optatiusve accidere potuerit, quam tanti herois colloquium, quod ad absentes per litteras fieri solet, mereri atque tam gratiosam beneficentiam, quae mihi a burggrabio et nepote Reverendissimae Celsitudinis Vestrae, vel nec tale quidquam cogitanti, oblata est, immeritum captare.

Quamquam ego numquam eam Reverendissimae Celsitudini Vestrae beneficam gratiam facto ipso referre queam, tamen eadem Reverendissima Celsitudo Vestra me semper pro tenui facultate studiorum meorum promptum ad omniaque facilem quovis etiam negotio, quantumlibet arduo, deprehendet. Oroque supplici prece, si Reverendissima Celsitudo Vestra sibi meam operam alicubi olim usui fore intelligit, nolit me id celare.

Reddidit mihi burggrabius quattuor ducatos a Reverendissima Celsitudine Vestra in viaticum missos una cum fasciculis quibusdam litterarum Olaus Magnus (Olof Månsson, Olaus Magni) (*1490 – †1557), Swedish historian and geographer, brother and successor of Johannes archbishop of Uppsala⌊archiepiscopo UpsalensiOlaus Magnus (Olof Månsson, Olaus Magni) (*1490 – †1557), Swedish historian and geographer, brother and successor of Johannes archbishop of Uppsala⌋ et domino Kaspar Hannau (Gasparus Hannovius, Kacper Hannow) (*1519 – †1571), Dantiscus' nephew (son of Anna), doctor of both canon and civil law, friend of Marcin Kromer, Bishop of Ermland; his studies in Cracow (1536-1538), and later in Rome (1539-1548), were financed by his uncle; from 1545 Canon of Ermland (Warmia) and Dean of Guttstadt (Dobre Miasto) Collegiate Chapter; from 1547 Canon of Włocławek (ORACKI 1984, p. 84; KOPICZKO 2, p. 108-109)⌊Casparo HannouioKaspar Hannau (Gasparus Hannovius, Kacper Hannow) (*1519 – †1571), Dantiscus' nephew (son of Anna), doctor of both canon and civil law, friend of Marcin Kromer, Bishop of Ermland; his studies in Cracow (1536-1538), and later in Rome (1539-1548), were financed by his uncle; from 1545 Canon of Ermland (Warmia) and Dean of Guttstadt (Dobre Miasto) Collegiate Chapter; from 1547 Canon of Włocławek (ORACKI 1984, p. 84; KOPICZKO 2, p. 108-109)⌋ perferendis, BCz 1599, p. 624 quas fideli manu suo tempore reddam.
