Habuit et villam capituli meliorem Vittkaw, quae sibi censuabat XXX marcis annautim et ita singulis computatis habuit in proventibus ultra alios canonicos LXXX marcas de villa Brzosza. Retulit praefatus venerabilis dominus Jan Meckler (Jan Mekeler) (†1534), Kulm canon (MAŃKOWSKI 1928, p. 125)Iohannes MecklerJan Meckler (Jan Mekeler) (†1534), Kulm canon (MAŃKOWSKI 1928, p. 125) Reverendissimam Paternitatem Vestram certam mentionem fecisse, quo iure ecclesiae aut Kulm Chapter capituloKulm Chapter sit apropriata.

Desuper, Reverendissime Domine, sunt sufficientia documenta et munimenta, quod illa villa sit comparata a reverendo patre domino Jan Konopacki Jr (Ioannes de Conopat) (†1535), studied in Leipzig (1522) and Frankfurt an der Oder (1527); courtier of Vice-Chancellor Piotr Tomicki; 1533 Canon of Ermland (Warmia) (KOPICZKO 2, p. 160)JohanneJan Konopacki Jr (Ioannes de Conopat) (†1535), studied in Leipzig (1522) and Frankfurt an der Oder (1527); courtier of Vice-Chancellor Piotr Tomicki; 1533 Canon of Ermland (Warmia) (KOPICZKO 2, p. 160) olim episcopo Culmensi, praecessore Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae, pro parata pecunia duorum milium et quingentarum marcarum et ob respectum donationis Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austriaregiae maiestatisSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria ecclesiae factae secundum fundationem praenominati domini Mikołaj Krapitz Sr (Chrapicki, Crapicz) (*ca. 1450 – †1514), studied probably in Köln and Cracow; founder of the Bernardines convent in Löbau; 1488-1494 Ermland canon; 1496-1907 (resignation due to ill health) Kulm bishop (NITECKI, p. 39; PSB 3, p. 435)NicolaiMikołaj Krapitz Sr (Chrapicki, Crapicz) (*ca. 1450 – †1514), studied probably in Köln and Cracow; founder of the Bernardines convent in Löbau; 1488-1494 Ermland canon; 1496-1907 (resignation due to ill health) Kulm bishop (NITECKI, p. 39; PSB 3, p. 435) olim episcopi Culemnsis, cuius anima in perpetuo sit refrigerio. Pro quattuor anniversariis et pro fabrica ecclesiae exponitur.

Spe firma et indubitata sumus, quod Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra fundationes circa istam pauperculam ecclesiam per praecessores suos episcopos Culmenses factas pro cultus divini augmento, pro sua in Sanctam Trinitatem devotione et sponsae suae meliori statu ac personarum honestiori sustentatione conservare in suo debito vigore dignabitur, alias veniret in malam sequelam, quod absit, ita quod nullae fundationes ecclesiis cathedralibus factae per suos praesules essent validae contra aequitatem et iurisdispositionem prout Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra melius novit.

Cui nos ex omni humilitate et debita subiectione commendamus et Eandem felicissime valere exoptamus in longissimum aevum pro nostro omnium solamine et ecclesiae, sponsae suae, incremento.
