Ceterum, Reverendissime Domine, sacerdotes Gdanenses infinitis paene calamitatibus oppressi hoc tempore novi evangelionis, questi sunt apud me indictam eis esse novam insuper, contributionis videlicet, calamitatem, quo nihil gravius miseris, iam paene inedia confectis, accidere potest. Rogant, efflagitant, ut apud Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram studeam impetrare litteras ad reverendissimum Wladislaviensem, ne sic sua reverendissima dominatio pergat quicquid reliqui est vestium nudis detrahere, fecerit itaque Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra rem sua humanitate dignissimam, si miserrimos sacerdotes hac molestia liberaverit. Nec video, quid reverendissimo Wladislaviensi commoditatis exspectari queat a tam tenui et oppresso clero, si extorquere perget sua reverendissima dominatio, citius lacrimis quam nummis miserorum ditabitur.
