For the time being/So far, in view of the Danish conflict, local shortage of grain, and damages/losses caused by floods, he leaves/keeps the matter of shipping grain abroad in abeyance. He will make every effort to satisfy the King's [Sigismund I Jagiellon] will.

Commissionem de hinc emittendis frumentis, quae Vistula advehuntur, ad dominos hic consiliarios referam. Quomodo vero exteris emitti debeant, temporum cum negotio Danico ratione non habita, cum apud nos illorum conspicua est penuria et cataclysmi aquarum irrecuperabilia detrimenta intulerint, indiscussum relinquo. Operam equidem daturus sum, ut, quantum in me est, serenissimae maiestatis regiae voluntati satisfiat.
