Post debitam observantiae et reverentiae exhibitionem.

Reverendissime in Christo Pater ac Domine, domine colendissime.

Cum et Ermland (Warmia, Varmia), diocese and ecclesiastical principality in northeastern Poland, 1466-1772 within the Kingdom of Poland, Royal PrussiaecclesiaeErmland (Warmia, Varmia), diocese and ecclesiastical principality in northeastern Poland, 1466-1772 within the Kingdom of Poland, Royal Prussia dignitas, et conventuum habendorum necessitas celebriorem aliquem et honestiorem locum [pro] consiliis deposcant, quod is, in quo hacten{ne}us celebrari soliti sunt consessus, quos capitulares vocamus, iam carie, situ et vetustate corrosus ruinam propediem minari videatur, decretum est ea in re dignitatem ecclessiae et auctoritatem conventuum pro virili nostra asserere, promovere locumque huic rei aptissimum ita exaedificare, ut et nobis, et posteritati nostrae quam rectissime consulatur.

Ad quod cum materies omnis: lapidum, laterum, calcis, tegula[rum], lignorum (quam The Greeks GraeciThe Greeks unico verbo ὕλην vocant) in promptu sit, paucarum trabium nos paenuria remoratur, quas cum aedificio instituto congruentes in vicinis nostris saltubus reperire nequeamus, Reverendissimam Paternitatem Vestram oratam cupimus, ut Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra ad summam sexaginta trabes selectas, partim in sublicarum, partim in laquearium usum, ex silva Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae in BisdorfBisdorfBisdorf Braunsberg komornictwoditionis BraunsbergensisBraunsberg komornictwo nobis concedere dignetur.

Quod vicissim in rem Reverendissimae Paterntitatis Vestrae esse duxerimus, qua poterimus, animi alacritate et promptitudine exsequemur.

Cui sanitatem et omnem felicitatem precamur.
