Reverendissime in Christo pater et domine, domine frater et amice carissime ac honorande.

Mitto istuc in Provincial Diet of Royal Prussia ⌊conventum istum LuboviensemProvincial Diet of Royal Prussia ⌋ scribam meum dominum Valentinus Steinpick canon of Guttstadt (Dobre Miasto), scribe of Mauritius Ferber, Parish Priest in Allenstein (Olsztyn)⌊Valentinum SteinpickValentinus Steinpick canon of Guttstadt (Dobre Miasto), scribe of Mauritius Ferber, Parish Priest in Allenstein (Olsztyn)⌋ canonicum Gutstatensem et plebanum Allensteinensem, praesentium exhibitorem, cum scriptis nuper a me dictatis ac Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae etiam missis. Ad quae si quid Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra cum ceteris dominis consiliariis vel addere, vel inde minuere voluerint, bene sum contentus.

Ego ipse libenter venirem, si per infirmitatem liceret. Nam de una in aliam incido aegritudinem. Nunc et hoc accessit, videlicet podagra in pede uno, ita ut ipsum in terra figere non possim.

Quid novae molestiae dominus Kostka nuperrime in Marienburgo contra dominos praesentes exercuit, ex ipsis intelliget Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra. Nullum esse remedium aliud puto, meo quidem iudicio, nisi sacra regia maiestas imponat illi cum honore nostro frenum vel abstinendum erit ab illo loco.

Commodius visum fuisset nobis, ut domini consiliarii posuissent hunc conventum non in Luboviam propter oppidi exustionem, sed in Newemargt.

Cetera coram nomine nostro Valentinus Steinpick canon of Guttstadt (Dobre Miasto), scribe of Mauritius Ferber, Parish Priest in Allenstein (Olsztyn)⌊ValentinusValentinus Steinpick canon of Guttstadt (Dobre Miasto), scribe of Mauritius Ferber, Parish Priest in Allenstein (Olsztyn)⌋ scriba referet Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae, quam longissime in bona valetudine felicitet et prosperet Christus.

Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae totus Mauritius Ferber (*1471 – †1537), doctor of both canon and civil law; from 1507 Canon of Ermland (Warmia) and Lübeck; from 1514 Canon of Trier; 1512-1515 parish priest of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Gdańsk (Danzig); from 1516 Custos of Ermland and parish priest of the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gdańsk; from 1519 Canon of Dorpat; from 1523 Canon of Revel; 1523-1537 Bishop of Ermland (KOPICZKO 2, p. 71-72; SBKW, p. 59-60)⌊Mauritius episcopus VarmiensisMauritius Ferber (*1471 – †1537), doctor of both canon and civil law; from 1507 Canon of Ermland (Warmia) and Lübeck; from 1514 Canon of Trier; 1512-1515 parish priest of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Gdańsk (Danzig); from 1516 Custos of Ermland and parish priest of the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gdańsk; from 1519 Canon of Dorpat; from 1523 Canon of Revel; 1523-1537 Bishop of Ermland (KOPICZKO 2, p. 71-72; SBKW, p. 59-60)⌋ subscripsit

[1]Reverendissime domine. Ex quo magnificus dominus palatinus Pomeraniae aegrotat, et si consequens, ut mortalis, mortem obiret, cogitavi eo eventu, quo sollicitaremus apud maiestatem regiam, ut ei sufficeretur dominus Ludovicus de (Mortang)en tamquam(?) senior et bene meritus, domino Ludvico - dominus castellanus Gedanensis, domino castellano Ge(danensi) - dominus Fa(bianus) Czema et domino Fa(biano) dominus capitaneus Graudnicensis vel N(icolaus)(?) de Vainow aulicus reginalis maiestatis salvo saniori consilio Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae et pensandum erit, ne eo casu ex minima mora praeveniamur.
