Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, Domine clementissime.
Servitiorum meorum commendatione praemissa.
Placent mihi conceptae litterae Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae, quare, ut monuit, subscripsi, responsum autem dandum serenissimae Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania⌊maiestati regiaeSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania⌋ de instituenda conventione, velim, ut suffragiis collectis unanimes scriberemus. Cum animadverto, qui nunc discurrunt rumores, bona spes me fovet, hac aestate Deo propitio, non esse nobis formidandum, quare consulendum arbitror, ut Provincial Diet of Royal Prussia ⌊conventioProvincial Diet of Royal Prussia ⌋ pro [1535]-09-29⌊festo divi Michaelis[1535]-09-29⌋ instituta maneat, parum enim esset duas vel tres hebdomadas anteverti, solum illud consultum esse videtur, ut omnes ordines ex singulis territoriis vel districtibus electi et minores civitates vel oppida conscriberentur. Debuisset quidem, cum delectus fieret nobilitatis, etiam oppidorum fieri lustratio, in quo non parva vis est, quod essent dispositi(!), ne tam facile sicut ante intercipiantur, vel se on the margin⌈vel sevel se on the margin⌉ dedant. Admonenda essent ergo per Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania⌊maiestatem regiamSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania⌋, ut repararent moenia, bombardas et sal nitri haberent in promptu etc. Et si quae contributio instituenda foret, quod aliquota pars cederet pro iis, ut memini, comparandis, essent, ut suspicor, procli propensiores ad contribuendum, quamvis, ut nuper scripsi, braxatio multam ingeret difficultatem.
Cupio scire, quando Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra suum transmittet nuntium, ut si forte quilibet per se velit respondere Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania⌊maiestati regiaeSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania⌋, ne ego praetermitterer. Posset autem fieri, quod unis litteris, votis collectis, scriberemus, vel unus omnium nostrum nomine generaliter nominatus written over...⌈... illegible⌈...... illegible⌉usus written over...⌉ vota scriberet. Utcumque fieret, ego me contentum redderem, vel ipse scriberem, vel cum aliis, vel unus omnium nomine. Scripsit mihi reverendissimus Mauritius Ferber (*1471 – †1537), since 1507 Ermland and Lubeck Canon; since 1514 Trier Canon; 1512-1515 parish priest of the Peter and Paul Church in Gdańsk; since 1516 Ermland Custos and parish priest of the Blessed Virgin Mary's church in Gdańsk; since 1519 Dorpat Canon; since 1523 Revel Canon; 1523-1537 Bishop of Ermland ⌊episcopus WarmiensisMauritius Ferber (*1471 – †1537), since 1507 Ermland and Lubeck Canon; since 1514 Trier Canon; 1512-1515 parish priest of the Peter and Paul Church in Gdańsk; since 1516 Ermland Custos and parish priest of the Blessed Virgin Mary's church in Gdańsk; since 1519 Dorpat Canon; since 1523 Revel Canon; 1523-1537 Bishop of Ermland ⌋, quando transmisit responsum a serenissima Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania⌊maiestate regiaSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania⌋ datum, suo nuntio id velle Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae mittere, alias ego misissem.
Cum his me Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae unice commendo, quam felicissime et longaeve valere cupio.

Ea, quae Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra edidit cf. , CIDTC IDP 165⌊de filio prodigocf. , CIDTC IDP 165⌋, rogo mihi transmittere, mihi enim hic datum periit. Ego coram censore male interpretatus foedum pro foetido, ita enim obiter absque deliberatione occursit(!). Miratus sum saepe pertinaciam hominis, quod foedum lutum non legisset certe nondum omnia legit.
