Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, Domine gratiosissime. Humillimam commendationem.

Reddita sunt mihi una cum 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 Austria

Bona Sforza (*1494 – †1557), Queen of Poland and Grand Duchess of Lithuania (1518-1557); the second wife of Sigismund I Jagiellon; Duchess of Bari and Rossano; daughter of Gian Galeazzo Sforza of Milan and Isabella of Aragon⌊regiae et reginalis maiestatisSigismund 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

Ego hic in Spain (Hispania)⌊HispaniaSpain (Hispania)⌋ martyr esse coepi, tot cruciatus et poenas antea passus sum numquam et non proveniunt mihi aliunde, quam ex his frigoribus, quae magis quam nostra penetrant, in aestu — licet mihi sit durissimus — rectius semper valeo. cf. Pub. com. 17.14.4 feras non culpes, quod vitari non potest It seems apparently mixed up with: malum est consilium, quo mutari non potest (ibid.) ⌊Ferendum est, quod mutare non possumus.cf.

Habent controversiam domini Welzeri cum civibus Cracoviensibus, qui eis aliquot centenarios cupri ademerunt et cum hoc cordi sit caesari, scripsit maiestati regiae, iussit etiam mecum desuper conferre, quemadmodum latius ex meis ad maiestatem regiam intelleget. Quapropter Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam maximopere rogo, velit illis adesse, ut cupro suo libere uti possent, cum et regiae atque reginali maiestati libenter inserviunt et ego hic ex illorum beneficio vivo, quod per litteras cambii sine interesse aut fenore reginali maiestati impendunt, ne mihi hic in rebus commissis novae post mortem viceregis Neapolitani oriantur difficultates, quae hic ex causis satis levibus interdum quaeruntur.

Statum temporum istorum et quae hic aguntur, cum tempus breve mihi scribendi reliquum fiet, ad maiestatem regiam in compendium perstrinxi, ex his tamen abunde, quo in turbine omnia versentur, intelleget. Ego adhuc malorum nostrorum, in quae ob peccata nostra prot<r>udimur, finem non video. cf. Vulg. Rm 11.34 ⌊Quis novit sensum Domini aut quis consiliarius eius fuit?cf. Vulg. Rm 11.34 ⌋

Exilium hoc, ut monet Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima, infracto adhuc animo perferam. Rogo nihilominus pro sua in me gratia Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam, det operam, quamprimum cognoverit non esse magis necessarium, quod hic sim, ut quantocius revocer. Nihil enim est, quod ardentius semper a Deo opto, quam ad Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam redire sospes et id, quod vitae reliquum est, apud meos absumere. In omnibus fiat voluntas Domini.

Alia ad praesens non restant. Commendo me humiliter Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae, ut domino meo gratiosissimo, et rogo, absentis sui hic servi non obliviscatur. Reverendissimo domino meo episcopo Plocensi me commendo plurimum et illi omnia fausta precor.
