Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine clementissime.

Accepi tunicam mihi a Dominatione Reverendissima missam. Quae subinde me gratuita benignitate munificis donis ornat et cumulat, pro quibus cum dignas agere gratias nequeam, ut animus gratificandi studiosissimus Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae acceptus sit, precor.

Potuisset dominus Paulus, frater et amicus meus (quod futurum mihi persuaseram) subornasse sartorem, qui furtim simulacrum tunicae, cuius mihi formula arridebat, sustulisset, ut Dominatione Vestra Reverendissima nescia specimen inde consecutus fuissem, ne denuo Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae in me beneficentiam provocaret, sed cessit nimirum hic eius error in rem meam, ut facile ei sit condonandus, modo Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae pro dignitate obsequiis meis gratificari possem.

Quantum intelligo, nemo ex dominis nunc hic praesentibus consensurus est, ut Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima praedictam pensionem solvat, etiam si fortassis, ut vero consentaneum est, dominus Johann Tymmermann (Johann Zimmermann) (*1492 – †1564), nephew of Mauritius Ferber, Bishop of Ermland; studied in Cracow (1505) and in Rome (1517); 1519-1564 Canon of Ermland (Warmia); 1525-1528 administrator of the Chapter's estates in Allenstein (Olsztyn) and in 1538 in Frauenburg (Frombork); 1527-1539 Cantor of Ermland; 1537 General Administrator of the bishopric of Ermland (after Mauritius Ferber's death); 1539-1552 Custos of Ermland; 1547-1552 General Vicar of the diocese of Ermland (SBKW, p. 261; KOPICZKO 2, p. 336)cantorJohann Tymmermann (Johann Zimmermann) (*1492 – †1564), nephew of Mauritius Ferber, Bishop of Ermland; studied in Cracow (1505) and in Rome (1517); 1519-1564 Canon of Ermland (Warmia); 1525-1528 administrator of the Chapter's estates in Allenstein (Olsztyn) and in 1538 in Frauenburg (Frombork); 1527-1539 Cantor of Ermland; 1537 General Administrator of the bishopric of Ermland (after Mauritius Ferber's death); 1539-1552 Custos of Ermland; 1547-1552 General Vicar of the diocese of Ermland (SBKW, p. 261; KOPICZKO 2, p. 336) capitulari decreto stare noluerit.

Est enim aliquorum opinio eam pensionem nequaquam a Paul III (Alessandro Farnese) (*1468 – †1549), 1493 elevated to cardinal; 1524 Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia; 1534-1549 PopepontificePaul III (Alessandro Farnese) (*1468 – †1549), 1493 elevated to cardinal; 1524 Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia; 1534-1549 Pope reservatam esse, praesertim si Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima specialiter et solemniter procuratores ad consentiendum in eandem non constituerit. Nec Paul III (Alessandro Farnese) (*1468 – †1549), 1493 elevated to cardinal; 1524 Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia; 1534-1549 PopepapamPaul III (Alessandro Farnese) (*1468 – †1549), 1493 elevated to cardinal; 1524 Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia; 1534-1549 Pope reservare consuevisse huiusmodi pensiones, nisi legitimae causae sint et in litteris expressae, cur id fieri possit et debeat. Obligationem Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae propterea etiam in iure subsistere non posse, sed irritam et nullam esse.

Attamen consultatio capitularis huius negotii ob festivitatem paschalem et occupationes ecclesiasticarum rerum in tempus magis commodum dilata est, eo quod nihil periculi sit in mora. Interim Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima bono animo sit, oro, et suaviter in utramque aurem dormiat nec animi perturbatione fomentum ministret suae valetudini.

Cui incolumitatem et salutem a Domino sinceriter precor meque cum obsequiis meis commendo.
