Nova, quae a domino capitaneo Grudniczensi hodie accepi, oblata nuntii opportunitate, Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae mitto.

Quod cur mihi non probetur, divinare potest Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima, quae hominem, cuiusmodi sit, pernovit. Quapropter, ne morem gererem petenti, negavi me ordinare ipsum posse, non ostensis litteris dimissoriis a Reverendissima Dominatione Vestra sub cuius Ermland (Warmia, Varmia), diocese and ecclesiastical principality in northeastern Poland, 1466-1772 within the Kingdom of Poland, Royal Prussia⌊dioecesiErmland (Warmia, Varmia), diocese and ecclesiastical principality in northeastern Poland, 1466-1772 within the Kingdom of Poland, Royal Prussia⌋ est oriundus. Ita remissus ad Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram fortasse ipsam adibit, quod volui praemonere eam cupiens, ne quando mihi obtrudatur homo ecclesiasticae administrationi parum idoneus futurus, quem cur cives illi asciscant, non est difficile coniicere.

Commendo me amori Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae, quam Deus sospitem et salvam servet.
