Reverendissime Praesul, clementissime domine.

Plurimam salutem, cum omnis felicitatis uberrima accessione Reverendissimae Amplitudini Tuae ex animo precor.

Ad humilimam servitiorum meorum commendationem.

Secundum posteriores meas, quas 27 Martii dedi, nulla praeterfluxit hebdomada, in qua non certo mihi persuaserim conventuros cardinales cum ceteris iudicibus ac tandem * encrypted ⌈** encrypted ⌉ finem imposituros, non tam quod illi hoc polliceba paper damaged⌈[a]a paper damaged⌉ntur, quam quod, quominus fieret, nihil obstare videbam. Ego itaque, qui post tot superiores meas litteras, quas vanissimis spebus plenas in hoc iam integro prope septennio ex Rome (Roma), city in central Italy, on the Tiber river, seat of the Holy See⌊UrbeRome (Roma), city in central Italy, on the Tiber river, seat of the Holy See⌋ plurimas misi, summa cum molestia iam incerta de hac * encrypted ⌈** encrypted ⌉ scribo, nolens perpetuo vanus esse, in tot hebdomadas scribere distuli, ut congregatis cardinalibus, quid tandem decrevissent, atque etiam de reditu meo certius aliquid significare possem. Sed, nescio quibus privatis suis de causis illis hucusque non convenientibus, ego frustra iterum hoc diuturnum silentium committere et incerta de eadem * encrypted ⌈** encrypted ⌉ scribere coactus sum, malens iam cardinalibus istis fidem nullam habere, quam ex longionre meo silentio in maiorem solicitudinem Reverendissimam Amplitudinem Tuam inducere.

Scripsi novissime hanc me de Christi misericordia spem concepisse, quod completo post 26 diem Iunii septimo anno, ex quo Rome (Roma), city in central Italy, on the Tiber river, seat of the Holy See⌊RomamRome (Roma), city in central Italy, on the Tiber river, seat of the Holy See⌋ veni, recordaturum pium Servatorem mei et in delictorum iuventutis meae mulctationem has accepturum septennales miserias et aerumnas meas, quas in durissimis istis negotiis litibusque maxima acerbitate exhausi, quemadmodum multis servis Dei usuvenisse legimus ad Deum conversis, quibus quidem ego longe indignissimus sum ulla ex parte comparari, de misericordia tamen Dei, qui dives est in omnes homines magna fiducia hoc idem superinscribed⌈hoc idemhoc idem superinscribed⌉ ausus sum sperare. Appropinquat ille dies eamque spem adeo non perdidi, ut magis etiam sperem. Totum nunc a cardinalium proxima congregatione pendere videtur, quae profecto ultra eum diem non differetur, et vel finietur BCz, 240, p. 182 in ea feliciter cum benigna Dei cooperatione tota haec controversia, vel certe huiusmodi quippiam statuetur, ex quo exitum saltem clarius licebit deprehendere. Nunc ipsa in eodem adhuc perseverat statu, quem in posterioribus descripsi, ubi et de reditu meo adiunxi, quod in Septembri vel Octobri hinc proficisci instituerim, quae etiam nunc mihi mens manet satisque commode fieri posse existimo. Interea enim praeter * encrypted ⌈** encrypted ⌉ etiam beneficiorum, quae nobis Ѧ encrypted ⌈ѦѦ encrypted ⌉ resignat, et L encrypted ⌈LL encrypted ⌉ negotia meae curae commissa in universum spero conficientur, et nihil tum superfuerit, cur adscribed⌈curcur adscribed⌉ diutius Rome (Roma), city in central Italy, on the Tiber river, seat of the Holy See⌊RomaeRome (Roma), city in central Italy, on the Tiber river, seat of the Holy See⌋ commorer, nec ullis aliis novis negotiis a quoquam me impediri seu occupari sinam.

Cupio, si quidem non immerito, ingenti desiderio, ut ex hac plusquam Pharaonica servitute liberatus, in qua mihi non lateres coquendi, sed cum importunissimis adversariis assiduo conflictu diurnisque et nocturnis curis laboribusque dimicandum fuit, aliquando tandem etiam mihi transire liceat in domum Domini et visitare templum sanctum eius omnibus diebus vitae meae, atque sacrificare illi sacrificium laudis. Ea est enim hic vitae meae ratio fuitque toto hoc septennio, ut nisi eam ad peragendum pro peccatis prioris vitae paenitentiam sustinere decrevissem, sicque Deum ipsum iusto suo iudicio ordinasse credidissem, fateor ingenue, quod dudum ego hinc ad Reverendissimam Amplitudinem Tuam reversus ad aratrum vel quodvis aliud laboriosissimum p... illegible⌈...... illegible⌉istrinum applicari maluissem, quam in hoc vitae genere perseverare. Decima nona Maii accepi Reverendissimae Amplitudinis Tuae litteras 15 Martii datas, quibus inter cetera me admonet de eo, ut paciscerer cum Π encrypted ⌈ΠΠ encrypted ⌉, si illum superare non possem. O quoties hoc mihi venit in mentem in hac septennali concertatione et ego non solum pactus, sed et vel depactus cum ipso fuissem, si meliorem fore ullis in rebus, et fidem servaturum perspexissem, ac non potius omnia sua pristina vitia, de quibus superiore anno fusius ad Reverendissimam Amplitudinem Tuam et M encrypted ⌈MM encrypted ⌉ scripsi, retineret, ut si hominem praesentem eadem Reverendissima Amplitudo Tua intueretur, nihil illi novi accrevisse cerneret praeter praetensam barbam. BCz, 240, p. 183 Exspectabo vigesimum sextum Iunii, et quod tum Deus pro sua misericordia dederit et a cardinalibus decerni voluerit, ex eo consilium capiam.

Ex aula nihil nihil intelligo novi. Puto et illic fractos esse tam Π encrypted ⌈ΠΠ encrypted ⌉, quam fautoris eius conatus de 4* encrypted ⌈4*4* encrypted ⌉, nec quicquam etiam effecisse in suo reditu ♮ encrypted ⌈♮♮ encrypted ⌉.

Incredibile est, quantos lobores septem integris mensibus eius nomine sustinui ad obtinendum indultum conferendi totius Cracow Diocese (Dioecesis Cracoviensis)⌊Cracoviensis diocesisCracow Diocese (Dioecesis Cracoviensis)⌋ sacerdotia in mensibus apostolicis, quod nunc primum per eius familiarem Leonardum Rzepeczki ad illum expeditum mitto.
