Interim sciscitantes et missis ad dominum palatinum Iunivladislaviensem, eorum capitaneum, nuntiis explorare conati sunt, an possent in gratiam redire, verum ex responso habito se ei credere non audent. Itaque metu perculsi, vim metuentes, secesserunt huc cum maxima rei domesticae iactura uterque relinquens uxorem gravidam, quae interim enixae sunt, vitae suae consulentes [ve]rum redire non ausi.
