Reverende in Christo pater domine sincere nobis dilecte.

Accepimus litteras Paternitatis Vestrae, quibus iustioribus quam vellemus rationibus excusat se, quod ad iusta divo 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 Sforza⌊parenti nostroSigismund 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⌋ persolvenda venire non possit. Male sit isti morbo, per quem et nobis optata Paternitatis Vestrae praesentia frui et Paternitas Vestra extremum hoc officium, quod vehementer cupere videtur, divo 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 Sforza⌊parenti nostroSigismund 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⌋ persolvere non licet. Sed quando sic Deo visum est, feramus necesse est, quod vitari non potest. Grata nobis esset futura praesentia Paternitatis Vestrae, quae nobis procul dubio non mediocrem fructum esset allatura, sed gratior est nobis tamen incolumitas Paternitatis Vestrae, quam illi diuturnam precamur atque, ut suae valetudinis curam habeat, hortamur.
