Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine cumprimis clementissime.

Proxima die Dominica ante ferias Divi Ioannis Baptistae pro carissima Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitatis Christine Schultze (Christine Scholcz) (†1539), mother of Ioannes Dantiscus (PSB 4 Dantyszek, s. 424)⌊parenteChristine Schultze (Christine Scholcz) (†1539), mother of Ioannes Dantiscus (PSB 4 Dantyszek, s. 424)⌋, cui perpetuam requiem sedulo precor, exsequias omnibus necessariis dispositis, Deo volente, celebrare constitui. Pro cerae libris quattuor XII grossos exposui. Pro vigiliis integris marca datur, quae partitur in tres partes: unam recipit capellanus, alteram rector scholae, tertiam parrochus. Scripsi tamen Paternitati Vestrae Reverendissimae pro parte mea nihil percepturum me. Pro urna cervisiae, quae datur pulsantibus, scutos VII. Pro pulsatura, quae fit cum omnibus campanis, dantur grossi X, de quibus percipit campanator mediam partem, aliam servat ecclesia. Dominis sacerdotibus probably Iacobus de Dietrichsdorf (Jakub Szczepański), Dantiscus’ chaplain in Löbau (Lubawa)⌊Iacoboprobably Iacobus de Dietrichsdorf (Jakub Szczepański), Dantiscus’ chaplain in Löbau (Lubawa)⌋ et Simoni, qui eiusmodi intererunt vigiliis et exsequiis et ad eas specialiter vocabuntur, scutos X.

Si autem Reverendissima Paternitas Vestra ex consueta sua clementia et liberalitate aliquid superaddere voluerit, hoc Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae relinquitur arbitrio. Illud tantum exigimus, quod etiam totidem quispiam civium nostrorum dare consuevit.
