Reverendissime domine, patrone gratiose, praemissa servitiorum meorum commendatione.

Est aliquamdiu, quod nullas a Dominatione Vestra Reverendissima acceperim litteras, sed nil mirum, cum Dominatio Vestra alias sit occupatissima multa scriptione. Nuper rediit Krzysztof Gersdorff ⌊GersdorffKrzysztof Gersdorff ⌋ a Dominatione Vestra Reverendissima, dixitque mihi se habere litteras Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae ad me, sed cum omnia revolveret altera die, eas non invenit, suntque perditae; postea dixit se certo non meminisse, an eas habuerit, nec ne; sic me incertum reliquit. Cumque essem apud reverendissimum dominum Cracoviensem, quaesivit ex me, num litteras haberem a Dominatione Vestra Reverendissima, respondi „non”, addidit illius dominatio: „forte et tu rarius domino scribis”; dixi me non libenter praetemittere ullam occasionem, attamen possem crebrius scribere.

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⌊Maiestas reginalisBona 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⌋ etiam saepe Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae meminit; duobus diebus ante adventum Krzysztof Gersdorff ⌊GersdorffKrzysztof Gersdorff ⌋ querebatur mihi quodammodo de Dominatione Vestra, quod nolit diutius illic in aula Charles V of Habsburg (*1500 – †1558), ruler of the Burgundian territories (1506-1555), King of Spain as Charles I (1516-1556), King of Naples and Sicily, King of the Romans (1519-1530), Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation (elected 1519, crowned 1530, abdicated 1556); son of Philip I the Handsome and Joanna the Mad of Castile⌊caesareae maiestatisCharles V of Habsburg (*1500 – †1558), ruler of the Burgundian territories (1506-1555), King of Spain as Charles I (1516-1556), King of Naples and Sicily, King of the Romans (1519-1530), Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation (elected 1519, crowned 1530, abdicated 1556); son of Philip I the Handsome and Joanna the Mad of Castile⌋ immorari; fecit id ipsum post adventum Gersdorff; ego replicationes feci, quantum potui, licet namque mihi cum illius maiestate colloqui quandoque diffusius.

Super simulacro Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae multa etiam contulimus. Illius maiestas ostendit omnibus aliquot vicibus, omnes dicunt, uti maiestas reginalis, dominus episcopus Cracoviensis, dominus Nipschicz, dominus Gotz, et ego: si scriptura non legeretur, quae est circum illud, non cognosceremus, cuius esset simulacrum.

Domini Bernhardi, fratris Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae, etiam illius maiestas saepe meminit, nec dubito, si Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima instabit, eum posse fieri aulicum suae maiestatis. Ego me contineo, ut possum, sed cum Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima feliciter redierit, spero mihi melius. Equos hic foveo, non misi eos in Goląbye, nam non esset ex re mea; timeo, ne propter parvum commodum magnum patiar incommodum. Hoc est: avena illic hoc anno aeque cara est, ac hic, servus absente domino fit nequam, fabri boni longe absunt, si forte equo aliquid accidit.

19 huius orator Turcus huc appulit, non nomine imperatoris , sed cuiusdam capitanei nomine Sendzyack, agitque super negotio Vallachi, quem nostri non cessant molestare. Dominus Tarnowski, campiductor, nuper cum in rediisset, exceptus est a maiestate regia et omnibus primatibus honorifice, triumphatumque est insigniter de victoria istorum Vallachorum.

Item pro festo sancti Nicolai hic habebimus Diet of Poland ⌊conventum generalemDiet of Poland ⌋, nisi, quod absit, pestis, quae in aliquot domos irrepsit, impediret; futurique sunt hic singulares amici Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae: dominus de Bayssen et dominus Achatius Czema, cui nuper castellanatus Gdanensis datus est, et fratri eius domino Fabiano succamerariatus Pomeraniae.

Nikel Mutrow vendidit domum suam, quare coactus fuit dominus Boreck res Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae inde efferre, suntque in domo domini Georgii Hegel, qui integer sine dubio amicus Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae est.

Exiverunt hinc in Augusto praete[rito]. Itaque supplico Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae, dignetur alicui ex suis iniungere, qui litteras domino Iacobo reddat meas. Nil restat. Iterum me commendo gratiae et benevolentiae Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae, quae utinam cito incolumis nobis restituatur.
