Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine colendissime. Officiosissimam servitutis meae commendationem.

Cum essem factus certior, esse cui recte dare possem ad Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram litteras, vehementer fui laetatus. Iam pridem enim aliquid ei scribere cupiebam, praesertim ex quo tempore litteras illas vidi Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae, quas ad dominum doctorem Stanisław Borek (*1474 – †1556), doctor of both laws; 1505 canon of Włocławek; 1508 - Poznań; 1520 - Gniezno; 1523 - Cracow; 1524 royal secretary; 1538 cantor at the Gniezno chapter; 1540 - at the Cracow chapter; 1542 dean at the Cracow chapter; 1523 royal envoy to Rome; 1524 - to emperor Charles V; 1526 - to Bari (WYCZAŃSKI 1990, p. 248; PSB 2, p. 320-322)⌊BorgkStanisław Borek (*1474 – †1556), doctor of both laws; 1505 canon of Włocławek; 1508 - Poznań; 1520 - Gniezno; 1523 - Cracow; 1524 royal secretary; 1538 cantor at the Gniezno chapter; 1540 - at the Cracow chapter; 1542 dean at the Cracow chapter; 1523 royal envoy to Rome; 1524 - to emperor Charles V; 1526 - to Bari (WYCZAŃSKI 1990, p. 248; PSB 2, p. 320-322)⌋ scripsit. In quibus ita mei mentionem facit, ut non dubia signa det singularis in me gratiae cuiusdam et benevolentiae. Inde enim magis, quam ex iudicio profecta esse videntur ea, quae mihi maiora tribuit, quam ut agnosci a me possint. Quod vero, si diis placet, mihi lepidissimorum cf. , CIDTC IDP 50;

Cuius tanta vis est, ut nullum esse possit tam rectum iudicium, quod non pervertat. Perstringit enim mentis aciem, ut recte rem arbitrari non possit. Sed quando ita iubet Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra, cuius iussis non obtemperare mihi religio est, scribam equidem, quod sentio. cf. , CIDTC IDP 50;
