Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine gratiosissime.

Non potui celare secretum, quod mihi ab integerrimo amico, canonico quodam Warmiensi, 26 Februarii communicatum est his verbis:

Reverendissime Domine. Negotium hoc in hunc diem mihi, hercle, sepultum erat. Cum tamen et antehac frequentius litteris meis dominos canonicos Warmienses, fautores meos singulares, rogaverim, huiusmodi scire posse, quae nunc in lucem prodiere, aut eos hoc ipsum ignorasse, aut noluisse prodere, aestimo. Cum autem nunc sciam, curabo et iam diligentius, ut intelligere possim, quae istic circa ecclesiam Warmiensem in hoc negotio posthac agentur. Cognita autem re gesta, non differam scribere venerabili domino 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)⌊Stanislao 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)⌋ omnis rei even progressum.
