Venerabiles Domini, fratres sincere dilecti.

Toties iam a parish priest of Tolkemit ⌊plebano Tolckemitensiparish priest of Tolkemit ⌋ ratione decimarum, quas ab incolis in Nartz de bonis conducticiis improbe petit, interpellamur, ita ut nobis propemodum molestus in re levi suis impetitionibus esse videatur, nam cum dicta bona ab illis in Narz (Narusa)⌊NartzNarz (Narusa)⌋ iure locationis a vicariis possideantur et in contractu locationis nulla facta sit de solvendis decimis mentio, neque antea ab illis solutae sint. Non possumus nunc etiam in id consentire, ut contra priorem nostram cognitionem ad eas decimas solvendas adigi debeant, maxime cum illas neque apud reverendissimos olim praedecessores nostros, quibus aeternam precamur requiem, dominum Fabian von Lusian (Fabian Luzjański, Fabian von Lossainen, Fabian of Łężany) (*ca. 1470 – †1523), doctor of canon law; 1490-1512 Canon of Ermland (Warmia); 1506-1507, 1510, 1514 Chancellor of the Ermland Chapter; 1512-1523 Bishop of Ermland (SBKW, p. 156)⌊FabianumFabian von Lusian (Fabian Luzjański, Fabian von Lossainen, Fabian of Łężany) (*ca. 1470 – †1523), doctor of canon law; 1490-1512 Canon of Ermland (Warmia); 1506-1507, 1510, 1514 Chancellor of the Ermland Chapter; 1512-1523 Bishop of Ermland (SBKW, p. 156)⌋ et Mauritius Ferber (*1471 – †1537), doctor of both canon and civil law; from 1507 Canon of Ermland (Warmia) and Lübeck; from 1514 Canon of Trier; 1512-1515 parish priest of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Gdańsk (Danzig); from 1516 Custos of Ermland and parish priest of the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gdańsk; from 1519 Canon of Dorpat; from 1523 Canon of Revel; 1523-1537 Bishop of Ermland (KOPICZKO 2, p. 71-72; SBKW, p. 59-60)⌊MauritiumMauritius Ferber (*1471 – †1537), doctor of both canon and civil law; from 1507 Canon of Ermland (Warmia) and Lübeck; from 1514 Canon of Trier; 1512-1515 parish priest of the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Gdańsk (Danzig); from 1516 Custos of Ermland and parish priest of the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Gdańsk; from 1519 Canon of Dorpat; from 1523 Canon of Revel; 1523-1537 Bishop of Ermland (KOPICZKO 2, p. 71-72; SBKW, p. 59-60)⌋ episcopos, ipse parish priest of Tolkemit ⌊parochusparish priest of Tolkemit ⌋ obtinere potuerit. Sed cum ita sese res habeat, ut bona de quibus decimae petuntur, aliis locari possint, facile permittimus, quo tandem lis haec finem sortiatur, ut explosis his possessoribus ea aliis condicione adiecta, ut eas decimas solvant, locentur. Quod cum ita per Fraternitates Vestras ordinatum fuerit, nulla, vel parish priest of Tolkemit ⌊plebano Tolckemitensiparish priest of Tolkemit ⌋ vel illis in Narz (Narusa)⌊NartzNarz (Narusa)⌋ fiet iniuria. Quas feliciter valere optamus.
