Reverendissime in Christo pater ac domine, domine clementissime.

Etsi de propensa Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae in me voluntate hactenus nihil dubitavi, eam tamen fiduciam vehementer mihi confirmavit proximus cum Reverendissima Dominatione Vestra congressus, in quo ipsa me homuncionem tantillum adeo humaniter exceperit, adeo(?) paterne tractavit, ut vix id mea sustinere possit humilitatis condicio. Adeo munifico munere et larga benevolentia in ipso discessu me decoravit, ut obsequiorum meorum sedulitas id promereri numquam possit[1]. Denique quod vulgaris beneficentiae modum excedit etiam fortunarum ac dignitatis meae paternam sollicitudinem gerens meditetur, qua ratione felicem antiquum servitorem suum feliciorem et ornatiorem reddere queat. Quod si forte etiam non sit successurum, mihi tamen satis beatus esse videor tanti patroni favore et gratia suffultus. Pro qua tam magna in me Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae benevolentia, quod solum possum gratias ago maximas. Rependat divina misericordia, quod non assequantur humana obsequia.

Quam primum admonebit iuxta admonitionis hic a me insertae written over am⌈amaeae written over am⌉ formulam, quam si contemnet, procedat Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra contra eam ordinaria auctoritate et ecclesiastica iurisdictione usque ad <ad> excommunicationem, aggravationem, reaggravationem et invocationem brachii saecularis, hoc est Ermland Chapter cathedral chapter based in Frauenburg (Frombork, Varmia)⌊venerabilis capituliErmland Chapter cathedral chapter based in Frauenburg (Frombork, Varmia)⌋, sub cuius ditione morabitur, ut eam Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae censuras exsequendas e consortio huius civitatis eiciant.

Sed habet, ut audio superinscribed⌈audioaudio superinscribed⌉, litteras divortii, quas exhibebit, mulier. Verum tamen nihil hoc curet Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra (quod in secretissimam aurem dico) nec opus fore puto, ut iudicis sententia (quod molestum esse solet) rescindatur, sed superinscribed⌈sedsed superinscribed⌉ relinquatur, ut valeat, quantum possit. Non enim talis separatio perpetua esse solet. Nihilominus tamen nolle a(liquo)modo Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam tolerare, ut eius apud ecclesiam praesentia tantam nobis infamiam irroget, ut supradictum est.

Palam esse eam habere viventem maritum, cui et humano, et divino iure adhaerere teneatur, utcumque ad tempus sit divortiata. Publicum praetera existere, quod in publico adulterio ex aliis maritis intra tempus divortii progenerit aliquot proles, quod non modo censura ecclesiastica, sed humanis legibus sit puniendum. Ad quod nihil suffragatur quaecumque divortii sententia etc.

Quonam pacto ad ulteriores censuras, hoc est excommunicationem, aggravationem, rea superinscribed⌈aa superinscribed⌉ggravationem etc. procedendum sit, hinc semper id exigo(?) cum nec id necessitas postulet, nec ego vires habeo, qui tantis sufficiant laboribus, qui superinscribed⌈quiqui superinscribed⌉ haec ipsa revera non sine morbi mei augmento tam prolixe scribo, quam libenter etiam usque ad mortem Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae inserviens.
