Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine clementissime.

Humillima mea et numquam intermoritura obsequendi studia sint Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae commendata.

Etsi per ingenii mei infirmitatem intellego, Clementissime Praesul et Domine, me non posse satis oratione illustrare significationem vocabuli, de qua in praesentia apud Clementiam Vestram sum acturus, utpote de gratitudine, digna cum viris bonis omnibus virtute, tum praesertim honestarum artium ac litterarum studiosis. Etenim cum maximarum vere virtutum sit nutrix, eam ab omnibus etiam summo studio colendam esse iudicant.

Cum tamen et me peculiaris quaedam ratio ad hanc virtutem amplectendam nunc impellat, mihi velim dari veniam, ut pauca de ea verba apud Clementiam Vestram faciam. Nam quotienscumque mecum reputo, Clementissime Praesul, quam aequus iudex Clementia Vestra fuerit in dirimenda inter me et dominum Niviosnisky orta olim controversia, de beneficio illo ecclesiastico parochiae in Neuteich a s(acra) or s(erenissima)s(acra)s(acra) or s(erenissima) 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 Austriaregia maiestateSigismund 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 in me immerentem collato, dignum me ea poena, qua olim Achivi Agamemnon in Greek mythology king of Mycenae; commander-in-chief of the Greeks in the Trojan War; he was the son of Atreus and older brother of MenelausAgamemnonemAgamemnon in Greek mythology king of Mycenae; commander-in-chief of the Greeks in the Trojan War; he was the son of Atreus and older brother of Menelaus affecerint, iudicem, qui tot exhaustis laboribus in expugnanda Troy (Troia, Ilium, Ilion), city in northwestern Anatolia, known for being the setting of the Trojan War described in the ancient Greek EposTroiaTroy (Troia, Ilium, Ilion), city in northwestern Anatolia, known for being the setting of the Trojan War described in the ancient Greek Epos pro dignitate GreeceGraeciaeGreece, domum reversus, veste inexplicabili involutus, interfectus est a Clytaemnestra (Κλυταιμνήστρα), in Greek mythology the wife of Agamemnon, king of MycenaeClytaemnestraClytaemnestra (Κλυταιμνήστρα), in Greek mythology the wife of Agamemnon, king of Mycenae auxiliante Aegisthus son of Thyestes; along with Klytaemnestra, whose lover he was, killed her husband (and his own cousin) Agamemnon; reigned in Mycenae, was killed by Agamemnon's and Klytaemnestra's son OrestesAegistoAegisthus son of Thyestes; along with Klytaemnestra, whose lover he was, killed her husband (and his own cousin) Agamemnon; reigned in Mycenae, was killed by Agamemnon's and Klytaemnestra's son Orestes adultero, nisi Clementiae Vestrae qualescumque tandem gratias agerem. Nullumque esse officium iustius ingenuo adolescenti ac magis necessarium puto, quam habere gratiam bene meritis, quae etiam vox est non solum eruditorum omnium, sed ipsius etiam naturae, quae mutuis officiis homines inter se devinctos esse voluit. Quare ingrati cum haec naturalia vincula societatis humanae dissolvant, ipsi naturae bellum inferre iudicandi sunt. Cum autem haec ipsa naturae lex divina quaedam vox sit mentibus hominum inscripta, quae nos ad colendam gratitudinem exhortatur et quidem gratis praemia, ingratis vero poenas divinitus proponit, sicut scriptum est “cf. Vulg. Prv 17:13 qui reddit mala pro bonis non recedet malum de domo eius non recedet malum a domo ingraticf. Vulg. Prv 17:13 qui reddit mala pro bonis non recedet malum de domo eius ”, non solum natura ingratos tamquam immania monstra odit et exsecratur, sed etiam urget eos iustissimis poenis Deus optimus maximus. Proinde, si naturam aspiciemus et quasi evolvemus animos ipsi nostros, si litteras sacras consulemus, non tantum videbimus, quantum habeat ingratitudo sceleris, sed BCz, 1599, p. 840 etiam constituemus non esse dubitandum, quin Deo poenas ingrati daturi sint, grati autem summo afficiendi sint beneficio.

Quod reliquum est, gratias ago Clementiae Vestrae pro tam immensis in me collatis beneficiis, quibus me in hunc usque diem Clementia Vestra ornare semper studuit, aulaeque Clementiae Vestrae assumpsit, deinde reverendissimo in Christo patri, Samuel Maciejowski (*1499 – †1550), humanist and diplomat, one of the most trusted advisors to King Sigismund I and then to his son Sigismund II Augustus; from 1521 Canon of the Collegiate Chapter in Sandomierz, and from 1530 in Kielce; from 1531 Canon of Gniezno; from 1532 or 1533 to 1537 royal secretary (previously scribe at the royal chancellery); 1537-1539 Grand Secretary; 1539-1547 Crown Vice-Chancellor; 1539-1541 Bishop of Chełm; 1541-1545 Bishop of Płock; 1545-1550 Bishop of Cracow; 1547-1550 Crown Grand Chancellor; in 1532 royal envoy to Rome; in 1534 and 1538 royal envoy to the local diets (WYCZAŃSKI 1990, p. 257-258; Urzędnicy 10, p. 184; PSB 19 Machowski - Maria Kazimiera, p. 64-69)domino CracoviensiSamuel Maciejowski (*1499 – †1550), humanist and diplomat, one of the most trusted advisors to King Sigismund I and then to his son Sigismund II Augustus; from 1521 Canon of the Collegiate Chapter in Sandomierz, and from 1530 in Kielce; from 1531 Canon of Gniezno; from 1532 or 1533 to 1537 royal secretary (previously scribe at the royal chancellery); 1537-1539 Grand Secretary; 1539-1547 Crown Vice-Chancellor; 1539-1541 Bishop of Chełm; 1541-1545 Bishop of Płock; 1545-1550 Bishop of Cracow; 1547-1550 Crown Grand Chancellor; in 1532 royal envoy to Rome; in 1534 and 1538 royal envoy to the local diets (WYCZAŃSKI 1990, p. 257-258; Urzędnicy 10, p. 184; PSB 19 Machowski - Maria Kazimiera, p. 64-69) et Poland (Kingdom of Poland, Polonia)Regni PoloniaePoland (Kingdom of Poland, Polonia) procancellario ex petitione parentis mei cum primis observandi me commendare absque ullis nostris meritis Clementia Vestra non denegavit. Quamquam autem haec mea commemoratio leve officium videtur prae se ferre, tamen, quoniam significationem habet gratae mentis, non duxi eam praetermittendam esse. Sed cogor verecundius de Clementiae Vestrae in me meritis nunc dicere propter Clementiae Vestrae modestiam, tantum illud dicam me libenter profiteri non minus me Clementiae Vestrae deberi quam propriis parentibus. Clementiae itaque Vestrae et habeo gratias, et polliceor me sicubi umquam potero re ipsa declarare animi gratitudinem summa fide daturum esse operam, ut intellegat Clementia Vestra me officio non defuisse.

Cui me quantum possum cum omnibus fortunis meis quam humiliter offero.

Ex quibus intellexi Reverendissimam Paternitatem Vestram meam erga se pietatem benevolentiamque facile perspicere, cum illud ipsum gravissimum et sanctissimum nomen pietatis levius mihi videatur esse meritis meis erga Reverendissimam Paternitatem Vestram. Sed haec omnia (meo quidem iudicio) ex singulari quadam amor written over nimnimmormor written over nimis abundantia Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae erga me exoriri puto, ut etiam nesciam, ob quam virtutis indolem Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra me a teneris unguiculis usque (ut dicitur) ornare non destitit. Quapropter, cum tantus sit numerus tantaque magnitudo beneficiorum Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae, ut etiamsi conarer vitam sanguine commutare, tamen neutiquam me ullam partem beneficiorum assecutum esse videar. Ob hanc igitur causam vitam mihi acerbam puto.

Quodsi eodem instituto fuissent omnes, ad quos de salute patriae consultatio pertinebat, inventa pridem esset ratio defendendae illius eiusmodi, nullus ut nobis hostis Dei fretis auxilio magnopere metuendus veniret.

Valachiae legatus iam octiduum nobiscum est. Quid sibi velit, nondum increbuit. Patriae legati cotidie serenissimae maiestatis regiae responsum exspectant. Non dubito, iam accepissent, nisi aliquantulum regia maiestas adversa valetudine laboraret. Sed quid?

Praetereo memoratu dignum in Helvetiis, terra Granis(?), apparuisse in caelo visionem Sanctae Crucis anno 47, 22 Augusti. Ea constituta, ex lateribus eius suborti sunt duo montes, de quibus duo fulvi leones decurrere, cum exporrectam Crucem cursu attigissent, adversum invicem consurrexere, aliquamdiu manu conserta, fatigati tandem septentrionalis plagae orientali caput praemordit, tandem truncatum corpus sensim in consuetum montem protrahit ac ita occidunt. Sublato visu super crucem exoriuntur armatae acies, quae, aliquamdiu conflictati, evanescunt. Visionis huius expressam imaginem ipse vidi.

Haec sunt, quae hic feruntur, plurima ex fidedignis hominibus accepi. Quae alia perfluxu temporis ad nos pervenient, quam maxime dabo operam, Reverendissimam Paternitatem Vestram ne praetereant.

The tension between the Prussian Subtreasurer and the Council had been increasing since the Diet in Graudenz (Grudziądz) in 1533. Kostka, connected with the royal court since his youth, was sent to Graudenz as the King's deputy and, contrary to custom, decided to take part in the proceedings. In response to such a step, the Council members stopped the meeting. Kostka accused them of hostility towards the Poles and intervened on this matter at the court.

Praemissa officiosissima servitute in gratiam Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae.

Salutem plurimam et fortunatissimas accessiones.

Reverendissime Domine.

Quae sint merita et beneficia tam erga me, quam meos omnes in conferenda eiusdem Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae opera, consilio et labore semper apud nos veteris stabit gratia facti, dum memores erimus nostri et quoad spiritus nostros reget artus. Cum vero per fortunae nostrae exiguitatem, quae quanta sit, plus satis Reverendissimae Paternitati Vestrae constat, referre non datur occasio, vitam nobis acerbam putamus. Ut etiamsi sanguinem pro Reverendissima Paternitate Vestra effunderemus, tamen neutiquam ullam beneficiorum partem assecuti videremur, tanta sunt Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae erga nos merita. Quodsi ita aliquando res sese obtulerit de familia Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae benemereri, non deerimus opera nostra, ut saltem aliquem de nobis demus gustum Paternitati Vestrae Reverendissimae, ne ullum beneficii genus sentiat interiisse. Quam iustus enim et aequus fuerit et habitus semper est iudex in dirimendis controversiis, non in praesenti hoc, quam in praeterito etiam facto plus satis constat, deque hoc aliorum sit iudicium, cum absque dubio Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra non exiguum mercedis praemium a Deo Optimo Maximo sit acceptura.

Quae porro Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra scribit et me adhortatur (quandoquidem animus hominis novarum rerum semper est cupidus), ut si quae apud nos essent novitates, eas cum Reverendissima Paternitate Vestra communicarem, faciam pro officio meo, ut ante factum a me quoque est, non quod certo sciam eas sic BCz, 1599, p. 1112 accidisse, sed quod frequentibus vulgi rumoribus sic circumferantur.
