Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine modis omnibus colendissime.

Praemissa fidissimorum obsequiorum diligenti commendatione.

Mitto Reverendissimae Paternitati Vestrae tonnam Bidgostiensis cerevisiae, quam gratiose accipere dignetur, oro.

Scripsissem plura, sed domina podagra impedivit ita, quod istas parvulas litteras vix scribere potui. Si Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra habet oleum vel unguentum macis, dignetur modicum mittere, rogo.

Et feliciter diuque valeat meque clementi gratia prosequatur.
