Reverendissime in Christo Pater, excellentissime domine praesul, domine gratiose.

Studia et obsequia nostra indefessa sint in vota Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae ex sententia destinata.

Gratiose Domine.

Cognovimus iam tandem illustrem Albrecht I von Hohenzollern-Ansbach (Albrecht von Brandenburg) (*1490 – †1568), 1511-1525 Grand Master of the Teutonic Order; from 1525 until his death Duke in Prussia as a vassal of the Polish king; son of Frederick V of Brandenburg-Ansbach the Elder and Sophia Jagiellon, daughter of Casimir IV Jagiellon; nephew of Sigismund I, King of Poland; founder of the University of Königsberg, 1544⌊principemAlbrecht I von Hohenzollern-Ansbach (Albrecht von Brandenburg) (*1490 – †1568), 1511-1525 Grand Master of the Teutonic Order; from 1525 until his death Duke in Prussia as a vassal of the Polish king; son of Frederick V of Brandenburg-Ansbach the Elder and Sophia Jagiellon, daughter of Casimir IV Jagiellon; nephew of Sigismund I, King of Poland; founder of the University of Königsberg, 1544⌋ Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae studio devictum cessisse, quod iure et rationibus legitimis quaerere videbamur, atque pro collustrandis structuris molaribus insolitis diem vigesimam sextam Aprilis acceptasse. De qua opera nostris rebus curandis facta Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitati, pastori et patrono nostro gratioso, maximas agimus gratias, plurimum orantes, ut sicut ad revisionem eandem viam stravit, ita etiam per Suae Reverendissimae Paternitatis nuntios pro termino praefixo eam differentiam finiri et optato fine concludi faciat.

Quod studiis et officiis nostris destinatissimis semper obsequenter mereri curabimus Christo propitio. Qui Vestram Reverendissimam Paternitatem ad suam gloriam feliciter sospitet et quam longissime ad multorum consolationem superesse sinat.
