Ago vero gratias quam maximas Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae, quod dignata est illarum rerum secreta mihi communia facere. Quae me cognovisse, erit fortasse non parum ex usu nostro.

Video namque causam totam huc dirigi, ut non solum, quod ego consului, omissis renuntiatisque nominationibus postulationis negotium conficiatur, sed ut ipsa quoque postergata postulatione aut electione rei expediendae fortuna committatur iam praestito successionis consensui. Nam visus est reverendissimus Jan Chojeński (*1486 – †1538), 1523 royal secretary, 1526-1537 Grand Secretary; 1531-1535 Bishop of Przemyśl, 1535-1537 Bishop of Płock, 1537-1538 Bishop of Cracow, 1537-1538 Grand Chancellor of the Crown (WYCZAŃSKI 1990, p. 248-249; PSB 3, p. 396-399)⌊dominus PlocensisJan Chojeński (*1486 – †1538), 1523 royal secretary, 1526-1537 Grand Secretary; 1531-1535 Bishop of Przemyśl, 1535-1537 Bishop of Płock, 1537-1538 Bishop of Cracow, 1537-1538 Grand Chancellor of the Crown (WYCZAŃSKI 1990, p. 248-249; PSB 3, p. 396-399)⌋ hoc apud dominum Alexander Sculteti (Scholtcze) (*ca. 1485 – †1570), doctor of canon law, cartographer, historian and friend of Copernicus; accused by Dantiscus and Stanisław Hozjusz (Hosius) of Sacramentarian heresy, in 1540 banished by King Sigismund I Jagiellon; in 1541 imprisoned by the Inquisition in Rome; after release from prison in 1544 he stayed in Rome for the rest of his life; 1509-1516 notary at the Roman Curia; 1519-1541 Canon of Ermland (Warmia), 1530-1539 Chancellor of the Ermland Chapter; 1536-1538 administrator of the komornictwo of Mehlsack (Melzak, today Pieniężno) (KOPICZKO 2, p. 299; SBKW, p. 219-220)⌊AlexandrumAlexander Sculteti (Scholtcze) (*ca. 1485 – †1570), doctor of canon law, cartographer, historian and friend of Copernicus; accused by Dantiscus and Stanisław Hozjusz (Hosius) of Sacramentarian heresy, in 1540 banished by King Sigismund I Jagiellon; in 1541 imprisoned by the Inquisition in Rome; after release from prison in 1544 he stayed in Rome for the rest of his life; 1509-1516 notary at the Roman Curia; 1519-1541 Canon of Ermland (Warmia), 1530-1539 Chancellor of the Ermland Chapter; 1536-1538 administrator of the komornictwo of Mehlsack (Melzak, today Pieniężno) (KOPICZKO 2, p. 299; SBKW, p. 219-220)⌋ urgere, quod ego, nisi vellemus rem omnem in praeceps dare, censeo prorsus fugiendum. Omnino enim opus est postulatione, ut Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae ad vacantem ecclesiam canonicus detur ingressus. In alteram vero partem tota videtur Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra propendere, ut videlicet vi prioris consensus regii postulatio fiat, atque hic me hortatur, ut in tuendis meis consiliis me virum praestem. Laborat vero adhuc (ni fallor) in priori dubio, quod putat quattuor nominatis non esse locum postulationi, sed electioni, et ideo angit Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram, quod scripsi eam ineligibilem, quem nodum putabam me prioribus litteris iam solvisse, et certe solvi, si modo intellectus sum Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae.

Certum enim est formam electionis non posse servari cum Reverendissima Dominatione Vestra, quae iam alteri ecclesiae est spirituali matrimonio alligata, a quo vinculo nequit nisi auctoritate Romani pontificis absolvi. Ideo remedium est inventum, ut postuletur ab ipso superiore, qui transferat Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram ab illa sua ecclesia ad hanc vacantem, nec alia est via iuris in hoc casu. Hocque est, quod dixi Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram non eligibilem, sed postulabilem, ut cuique rei suam propriam vocem accommodarem. Verum communi locutione, qui vocatur ad eligendum, vocatus etiam intelligitur ad postulandum, quandoquidem et ipsa postulatio quaedam est electio. Eligitur enim postulandus et papae offertur hacque ratione neminem video esse, qui dubitet nominatos a regia maiestate posse, si ita res fert, etiam postulari, nec est quod hic Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram vexet vel suspendat. Quod scribo, non ut quasi ignorantem doceam, sed ut explicem, quid senserint verba q mea, quae Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram offenderunt.

Iam quod ad consilium meum pertinet, certe, Reverendissime Domine, ut initio mihi haec via visa est expeditior et ad rem bene conficiendam minus habens fragosi, ita in hoc sedulus fui, ut ceteros in meam ducerem sententiam. Sed video hoc me hoc studio hactenus tamen superinscribed⌈tamentamen superinscribed⌉ profecisse, ut et me, et Vestram Reverendissimam Dominationem paene in hanc coniecerim suspectionem, quasi res nostras cum ecclesiae dispendio curaremus. Adeo sunt omnes in hanc sententiam proclives non posse pactis servari integritatem, AAWO, AB, D. 2, f. 70v nisi missis nominationibus electio vel postulatio fiat consueta negantque quicquam esse tutum, quod quaviscumque specie boni vel honesti suadet aut consulitur. Semper enim in memoria hominum mansuram putant hanc reputationem, quod ad designationem non quattuor, sed unius facta celebrata sit postulatio. Quod quid aliud esse quam discessionem a pactis? Et certe si Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra formam dandi regii responsi introspexerit, videbit verba, quae hoc ipsum videntur urgere, ex quibus plus exulcerabuntur meticulosorum illorum mentes.

Sapit Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra, quid dicam. Valebit in hac turbatione plurimum conscientiam discessionis a iuribus ecclesiae et perpetuae subiectionis, quae odiosos nos faciet omnibus. Meminit Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra me in consiliis meis semper hoc ad velut rem nequaquam negligendam adiecisse, ut omnino adsint nominationes.
