Magnifice Domine Orator,

Impetravi a domino cancellario, ut possim in sua Apologia aliquid immutare, dummodo maneat substantia prout est. Ego vero nollem quicquam tentare, nisi vel Dominationis Vestrae, vel domini Cornelii adesset auxilium, hoc tamen, quanto citius fieri posset, factum vellem. Si liceret abesse a domo, irem ad Dominationem Vestram, sed malim, ut dominus Cornelius dignaretur adesse in prandio cum domino <...>, vel Dominatio Vestra mihi significet, qua hora possim commodius accedere, ne illi molestus sim.

Dominationis Vestrae servitor deditissimus Valdesius
