Reverendissime Domine.

Congratulor Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae, quod Deus Optimus Maximus ad ad hanc dignitatem illam evehere dignatus est. Idem faxit, ut sit haec dignitas pro salute animae Dominationis Vestrae, de qua re nil dubito, cum sciam ex Dominatione Vestra et Bona Sforza (*1494 – †1557), Queen of Poland and Grand Duchess of Lithuania (1518-1557); the second wife of Sigismund I Jagiellon; Duchess of Bari and Rossano; daughter of Gian Galeazzo Sforza of Milan and Isabella of Aragon⌊maiestati reginaliBona Sforza (*1494 – †1557), Queen of Poland and Grand Duchess of Lithuania (1518-1557); the second wife of Sigismund I Jagiellon; Duchess of Bari and Rossano; daughter of Gian Galeazzo Sforza of Milan and Isabella of Aragon⌋ dixi ac plerisque primoribus spem omnem in Deo se habere et in eius manibus sortes esse.

Loquebamur deinde multum, ubi nemo audivit cumque aliquis accederet, de peregrinatione sermo vertebatur. Tam alacrem ad hoc illius maiestatem cognovi, ut nil supra. Tandem in Chromolow, cum cum maiestate regia conveniret, brevi spatio me coram totum negotium in hidden by binding⌈[n]n hidden by binding⌉ partem nostram cessit. Absente maiestate regia ecce Nipschicz ex Cracovia advolat obviam, maiestas reginalis viso eo risit et dixit: „Czo chczes Nipschicz hidden by binding⌈[schicz]schicz hidden by binding⌉?” BCz, 243, p. 117 „Mylosczywa” - inquit ille - „kralowa, prosit nesmym, bo nycz ne wyprosym, alem proto przyyel, W(aszą) M(yloscz) prypomynwczy, aby W(asza) M(yloscz) pana Dantisca neszapomynala, slwhy sweho wyerneho”.

Cumque haec res divulgaretur, totus coetus factum probavit. Videtur mihi hoc non postremum gaudium esse debere, quod omnes laudant et favent Dominationi Vestrae sortem hanc, allegando dexteritatem et virtutem. Me haec res mirum in modum exhilarat, vox populi vox Dei dicitur.

Promoverunt negotium hoc reverendissimus dominus Cracoviensis, dominus Ludovicus Aliph<ius>, dominus Choyenski, dominus magister curiae. Ego etiam, etsi numquam, ubi honorem et commodum Dominationis Vestrae promovere potui, defui, hic tamen praecipue (potui namque) pulsavi, prout coram et maiestas reginalis et multi alii testabuntur. Certus enim sum, cum Dominatio Vestra bene superinscribed⌈benebene superinscribed⌉ habet, eandem rebus meis non defuturam.

Volunt hic aliqui Columbam et canonicatum Warmiensem impetrare, sed maiestatem reginalem amici Dominationis Vestrae rogant, ne consentiat, nec consentitur. Poterit istis beneficiis fratribus Dominationis Vestrae aut Fabiano, creaturae Dominationis Vestrae, benefieri.

Ego iturus sum ad capitulum Culmense cum litteris regiis, ne ea, quae relicta sunt, diripiantur. Commendo me Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae, ut patri meo amantissimo, quem Deus Optimus Maximus felicem cito reducat.
