Litteras Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae una cum annexis etiam ad Spain (Hispania)⌊HispaniasSpain (Hispania)⌋ transmissis accepi. Litteris autem suis ad me nunc particularius non respondeo, quia inter aliam meam supellectilem chartaceam in cista iacent alicubi recondita, ita ut expeditum nunc non sit eas requirere, respondebo tamen ubi ex hoc itinere aliquantulum conquievero et sarcinas deposuero. Ego autem interea dignitatem illam sublime quae Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae nuper contigit quamque virtus et pietas sua merebatur ex animo gratulor faxitque Deus, ut quemadmodum antehac ecclesiam Culmensem summa integritate vigilantiaque moderata est. Ita nunc Varmiensi pari sanctimonia, quam diutissime felicissimeque praesit.
