Salutem et felicitatem ac sui plurimam commendationem.

Video Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram eo animo ferre calamitatem nostram, quo et nos hic ferimus. Quid autem consolationis hinc dem aut scribam, non habeo, quandoquidem res eo devenit, ut humano consilio regi non possit, nisi solius Dei Omnipotentis prudentia et benignitate. Nos peccavimus, iniuste egimus. Nostra peccata horum malorum sunt causa.

Consolatur me aliquantulum senatorum fides et constantia, quam Sigismund II Augustus Jagiellon (Zygmunt II August) (*1520 – †1572), 1529-1572 Grand Duke of Lithuania (ruled from 1544); 1530-1572 King of Poland (crowned vivente rege (ruled from 1548, after the death of his father); son of Sigismund I Jagiellon and Bona SforzaprincipiSigismund II Augustus Jagiellon (Zygmunt II August) (*1520 – †1572), 1529-1572 Grand Duke of Lithuania (ruled from 1544); 1530-1572 King of Poland (crowned vivente rege (ruled from 1548, after the death of his father); son of Sigismund I Jagiellon and Bona Sforza per litteras certatim offerunt. Solatur me etiam Sigismund II Augustus Jagiellon (Zygmunt II August) (*1520 – †1572), 1529-1572 Grand Duke of Lithuania (ruled from 1544); 1530-1572 King of Poland (crowned vivente rege (ruled from 1548, after the death of his father); son of Sigismund I Jagiellon and Bona SforzaprincipisSigismund II Augustus Jagiellon (Zygmunt II August) (*1520 – †1572), 1529-1572 Grand Duke of Lithuania (ruled from 1544); 1530-1572 King of Poland (crowned vivente rege (ruled from 1548, after the death of his father); son of Sigismund I Jagiellon and Bona Sforza aequanimitas erga omnes, quam ego saepissime inculco, video enim, quid hisce temporibus dissidiorum causa fuerit, dum unius quam alterius maior ratio habita est. Spero rem publicam aliqua(m) or aliqua(ndo)aliqua(m)aliqua(m) or aliqua(ndo) futuram, si concordia fuerit, sed equestrem ordinem eo a novo audio graviter esse offensum. Deus Omnipotens placabilem nobis eum reddat, in eo enim nunc pendet lex et prophetae. Plura non vacat, in itinere praesertim.

Commendo me in gratiam Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationis, qua ut me prosequatur, maiorem in modum oro.
