Bona, Dei gratia regina Poloniae, magna dux Lithvaniae, Russiae totiusque Prussiae ac Masouiae domina

Magnifice et spectabilis, sincere nobis dilecte.

Ubi nuntiatum est nobis de restitutione arcis Barensis, pro qua tam diu elaboratum est, illico de Tuae S(trenuita)tis or S(incerita)tisS(trenuita)tisS(trenuita)tis or S(incerita)tis revocatione cogitavimus et quia S(trenuitas) or S(inceritas)S(trenuitas)S(trenuitas) or S(inceritas) Tua pluries nobis per litteras suas consuluit, ut aliquem nostro nomine agentem in curia fovere deberemus, cui negotia ducatus nostri Barensis tuto committi possint, delegimus hunc venerabilem Ioannem Levicium, cantorem Plocensem et scribam nostrum grate dilectum, qui ad nostrum beneplacitum apud s(acratissimam) or s(acram)s(acratissimam)s(acratissimam) or s(acram) caesaream et catholicam maiestatem agentis nostro nomine locum sustineat. Illi ergo S(trenui)tas or S(inceri)tasS(trenui)tasS(trenui)tas or S(inceri)tas Tua, quid hactenus actum sit in curia de rebus nostris, quid sperandum sit et curiae mores affatim enodare non gravetur.

Dabit insuper eidem instructiones, per quas edoceatur, quomodo in hac curia se gerere debeat, quo nostrum servetur decorum et negotia paper damaged[a]a paper damaged nostra non periclitentur. S(trenui)tas or S(inceri)tasS(trenui)tasS(trenui)tas or S(inceri)tas Tua iam bene callet omnium officialium mores et ad quos in necessitatibus confugiendum sit; hortamur igitur paper damaged[ur]ur paper damaged S(trenuitatem) or S(inceritatem)S(trenuitatem)S(trenuitatem) or S(inceritatem) Tuam: velit illum sic instruere, ut confidimus in Tuae S(trenuita)tis or S(incerita)tisS(trenuita)tisS(trenuita)tis or S(incerita)tis pru paper damaged[u]u paper damageddentia. De solutione Adohae si aliquid boni ante Tuae S(trenuita)tis or S(incerita)tisS(trenuita)tisS(trenuita)tis or S(incerita)tis exitum paper damaged[m]m paper damaged concludi posset, satis bene consultum rebus nostris putaremus, sin minus, aequo animo ferendum est, quicquid sacra maiestas caesarea super hoc mandare dignabitur; nam de iure contendere nolumus et gratia ab invitis extorqueri non potest. Reliqua commisimus eidem Ioanni Levicio oretenus referre cum S(trenuita)te or S(incerita)teS(trenuita)teS(trenuita)te or S(incerita)te Tua, quam sospiter et feliciter ad nos redire optamus.
