Sum itaque facturus omnia pro summa virili mea diligenter et fideliter. Scribit mihi Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima, ut nomine suo episcopatum domino Philippo Holkener committam et redditus recipiam mittamque Dominationi Vestrae per Fuggaros, sed res haec nondum est satis cauta, prout Reverendissimus dominus Cracoviensis et dominus doctor Borek dicunt, nam Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima non potest se intromittere in possessionem, nec quisquam nomine Dominationis Vestrae, nisi habita prius confirmatione summi pontificis; alias ego non intelligo, quid mali aut periculi inde emergere posset. Eam ob rem oportet me habere, quo doceam, Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam esse confirmatam; spero, cum frater unus Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae propediem aderit, secum huiusmodi cautionem afferet, timeo tamen, ne Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima nesciens talem cautionem esse hic necessariam, illam apud se retineat, quocirca, si forsan illam cum fratre nondum miserit, quo absit, quantocius mittat; ego non tardabo in reliquo. Interim in episcopatu colligentur pecuniae. Spero hoc anno Dominationem Vestram inde habituram circa 4000 florenorum cum expensis forsan, quae illic fient.
