Reverendissimo in Christo patri et domino, domino Ioanni Dei gratia episcopo Varmiensi, domino suo clementissimo

Reverendissime in Christo pater et domine, domine clementissime.

Feci iam, quod nullo iure(?) obmittere debui vel potui, in quo spero monitis Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae a me satis esse factum. Ceterum, quod scire ex me petit, quanto tempore vixerit felicis recordationis quondam Lucas a Waczelrodt, Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae praedecessor, avunculus meus: vixit annos LXIIII, menses V, in episcopatu annos XXIII, obiit paenultima Martii anno Christi MDXII. In quo illa generatio finem accepit, cuius insignia in antiquis monumentis et multis operibus exstant Torunii. Commendo iam oboedientiam meam Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae.

Ex Frauemburg, XI Ianuarii anno MDXXXIX.
