Quid causae fuerit, cur post meas VII Septembris datas tardius scripserim, ex copiosissimis alteris meis, quae paulopost has posteriores suas illi redditae sunt, spero iam Reverendissima Amplitudo Tua intellexit, cum quibus et calculum recepti et expensi miseram. Litterae regiae, quas dominus Loca attulerat ad Paul III (Alessandro Farnese) (*1468 – †1549), 1493 elevated to cardinal; 1524 Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia; 1534-1549 PopepontificemPaul III (Alessandro Farnese) (*1468 – †1549), 1493 elevated to cardinal; 1524 Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia; 1534-1549 Pope datae, adhuc penes cardinalem Crescentium obsignatae manent, tam enim illum male habet, quod Poland (Kingdom of Poland, Polonia)regni PoloniaePoland (Kingdom of Poland, Polonia) protector constitutus non sit, ut eas nec per se, nec per modernum protectorem vult reddi, ne tamen hoc aperte prae se ferat, quoties a me videtur, nunc oblivionem affert, nunc alias occupationes et nescio quas alias futilissimas excusationes. Cum quo gravius agere non audeo, proptere[a] quod criminalis actio adhuc in manibus eius pendet. speroque novas ad illum a regia maiestate litteras datas iri, de quibus in superioribus meis E, L et M scripsi. Ac quoniam in his regiis, quas cardinalis ille praemit, nominationes duae ad Reverendissimae Amplitudinis Tuae ecclesiam petuntur, quarum alteram Conarski quendam Samuel Maciejowski (*1499 – †1550), humanist and diplomat, one of the most trusted advisors to King Sigismund I and then to his son Sigismund II Augustus; from 1521 Canon of the Collegiate Chapter in Sandomierz, and from 1530 in Kielce; from 1531 Canon of Gniezno; from 1532 or 1533 to 1537 royal secretary (previously scribe at the royal chancellery); 1537-1539 Grand Secretary; 1539-1547 Crown Vice-Chancellor; 1539-1541 Bishop of Chełm; 1541-1545 Bishop of Płock; 1545-1550 Bishop of Cracow; 1547-1550 Crown Grand Chancellor; in 1532 royal envoy to Rome; in 1534 and 1538 royal envoy to the local diets (WYCZAŃSKI 1990, p. 257-258; Urzędnicy 10, p. 184; PSB 19 Machowski - Maria Kazimiera, p. 64-69)reverendissimi domini PlocensisSamuel Maciejowski (*1499 – †1550), humanist and diplomat, one of the most trusted advisors to King Sigismund I and then to his son Sigismund II Augustus; from 1521 Canon of the Collegiate Chapter in Sandomierz, and from 1530 in Kielce; from 1531 Canon of Gniezno; from 1532 or 1533 to 1537 royal secretary (previously scribe at the royal chancellery); 1537-1539 Grand Secretary; 1539-1547 Crown Vice-Chancellor; 1539-1541 Bishop of Chełm; 1541-1545 Bishop of Płock; 1545-1550 Bishop of Cracow; 1547-1550 Crown Grand Chancellor; in 1532 royal envoy to Rome; in 1534 and 1538 royal envoy to the local diets (WYCZAŃSKI 1990, p. 257-258; Urzędnicy 10, p. 184; PSB 19 Machowski - Maria Kazimiera, p. 64-69) familiarem habiturum audio, veritus ne propterea in suspicionem reverendissimo domino Plocensi veniam, quasi nollem ea[s] nominationes expediri, et idcirco non usquequaque laborare, ut illae regiae litterae reddantur, cum aliter non possem, iure iurando me illi per litteras purgavi. Peristromata, quae eius pecunia empta, nuper ad ipsum cum nonnullis libris Reverendissimae Amplitudini Tuae inscriptis misi, iam salva Venice (Venezia, Venetiae), city in northeastern Italy, capital of the Republic of VeniceVeneciasVenice (Venezia, Venetiae), city in northeastern Italy, capital of the Republic of Venice perlata sunt et inde in Poland (Kingdom of Poland, Polonia)PoloniamPoland (Kingdom of Poland, Polonia) brevi portabuntur. Inter libros illos cumprimis utilem et necessarium fore arbitror eum, qui praxim criminalem iuris canonici complectitur. Nam observatis documentis et formulis ipsius facile Reverendissima Amplitudo Tua extirpaverit, quicquid est zizaniarum in sua ecclesia eamque melius cognoscere et videre incipiet. Accepta iterum nova mittendi oportunitate plura huiusmodi mittam, quae Reverendissimae Amplitudini Tuae grata fore putabo.

Gemmam stemmatis Reverendissimae Amplitudinis Tuae, quo me ipsa donavit, quodque mihi longe gratissimum est, iam p[ara]tam habeo inclusam in aureum sex prope ducatorum annulum. Hoc usurus sum semper ex hoc tempore. Sed, ut cetera non male, ita “G” - primum elementum nominis mei - pessime sculptum videtur.
