Humillimorum obsequiorum meorum, orationum mearum commendationibus in gratiam Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae semper praemissis.

Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine clementissime, amplissime denique praesul.

Hoc imprimis silentio praeterire nolui, quod antiquum scholae rectorem ab officio suo amoverimus fecitque hoc Löbau Town Council ⌊magistratusLöbau Town Council ⌋ una mecum ob multas neglegentias et excessus, quos partim ante, partim post Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae felicem discessum committere non erubuit. Causatur, quod ego illum ex propria mea voluntate abiecerim. Non potuit id fieri per me solum neque fuit hoc in manu mea. Amovit illum Löbau Town Council ⌊magistratusLöbau Town Council ⌋ una mecum, cum scitu tamen venerabilis domini Baltazar of Lublin (†after 1543-05-20), from 1535 at the latest Canon of Kulm (Chełmno); 1538 Judicial Vicar in the Kulm Chapter; Chancellor to the Bishops of Kulm, Ioannes Dantiscus and then Tiedemmann Giese (MAŃKOWSKI 1928, p. 115)⌊cancellariiBaltazar of Lublin (†after 1543-05-20), from 1535 at the latest Canon of Kulm (Chełmno); 1538 Judicial Vicar in the Kulm Chapter; Chancellor to the Bishops of Kulm, Ioannes Dantiscus and then Tiedemmann Giese (MAŃKOWSKI 1928, p. 115)⌋, cuius in hac parte usi sumus consilio. Deum testor, quod ipsius neglegentia evacuata est et desolata tota schola et incompositos admodum et per omnia vagos reddidit discipulos. Parcat illi Deus.

In eius locum honorabilem dominum Iohannem sacerdotem, virum bonum et in scholasticis rebus et peritum, et exercitatum, praeferimus. Eius cantor sive collega est Ioannes Schwarczferber, homo utcumque doctus, musices tamen non ignarus. Placet mihi et Löbau Town Council ⌊magistratuiLöbau Town Council ⌋ hic novus ordo et regiminis novi auspicium. Fit iam, Deo gratia, auctior discipulorum turba. Docent ambo deputatis temporibus et horis etiam statis. Faxint superi, BCz, 1595, p. 1006 ut sic constantes permaneant.
