Reverende in Christo Pater, sincere nobis dilecte.

Intelleximus ex nonnulla parte causam huc deductam, quae ex foraminibus et cavernis testimonia sibi comparata habet. Quae quia nimium esse dubia videtur, ab utra scilicet parte fraus pendeat, remittitur istuc ad cognitionem dominorum. Quantum eam causam commendavit nobis Paternitas Vestra, tantum eam nos vicissim illi recommendamus hortamurque eam, ut una cum aliis dominis Vestra Paternitas ad eam rem cognoscendam et veritatem inveniendam diligenter incumbat. Nam fraudes istae et Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austriamaiestatem regiamSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria, et nos, omnesque bonos vehementer offendunt. Quae si non fuerint initio compressae, pessimo exemplo et ingenti hominum damno in iudicia introducentur. Vestra Paternitas tamquam primus consiliarius non sinat istic malitiam hominum crescere.

Valeatque sana et felix diutissime.
