Salve, optime ac humanissime princeps Dantisce, patrone mi.

Quod toto eo tempore, quo a te abii, nihil a me litterarum acceperis, in causa primum fuit, quod ex molestissimo itinere mirabiliter aliquot diebus nauseabam et vix aegre concoquebam istas Ratisbonenses crapulas. Cum ecce hic novis et ferme cotidianis interim accipior ab amicis, qui vel reducem me amplexabantur, vel novi cum his principibus advenerunt, a quibus cum tandem me extricassem, reversus ad mea studia Ecclesiasten paene absolvi versu elegiaco. Quod velim, Ioannes Campensis (Jan van Campen, Ioannes de Campo) (*1491 – †1538), Netherlandish classical philologist and Hebraist, author of a paraphrase of the Book of Psalms from Hebrew to Latin and a Hebrew grammar, in 1531 lecturer at the Collegium Trilingue of Louvain University (CE, vol. 1, p. 255-256)⌊CampensiIoannes Campensis (Jan van Campen, Ioannes de Campo) (*1491 – †1538), Netherlandish classical philologist and Hebraist, author of a paraphrase of the Book of Psalms from Hebrew to Latin and a Hebrew grammar, in 1531 lecturer at the Collegium Trilingue of Louvain University (CE, vol. 1, p. 255-256)⌋ nostro dicas, me nunc ipsius quasi auspiciis constanter et fortiter militare, quamquam et hoc, et omne militabitur in tuae spem gratiae. Quid vero istic de meo repentino, ut ne dicam clandestino, abitu sentiatis, scire pervelim. Nosti, quam sint poetis heteroclyta capitula et num ego tibi vesperi, hoc est pridie eius diei, quo abiturus eram, dixeram abiturum postridie me esse, etsi pediti foret abeundum?

Tibi, mi patrone, scio, quid sim pollicitus, nempe rediturum me perfecto Ecclesiaste, quod quia paucis diebus est futurum, scire valde cupio, sisne adhuc in eadem sententia atque istic tamdiu permansurus, donec ego rus rursus descendam ad Danube (Dunaj, Donau), river in central and eastern Europe⌊DanubiumDanube (Dunaj, Donau), river in central and eastern Europe⌋. Ego vero, si voles, intra octiduum tecum ero et quamquam nec pennas habeo, nec ungulas, tamen vel curram, vel volabo, quo et quando iusseris. Sunt enim et erunt tua erga me immortalia beneficia, AAWO, AB, D. 3, f. 77v cui et si quae debeo, praestare fortassis non possum, dabo tamen operam, ut omnis posteritas ea me sinceriter praestare voluisse intellegat.
