[Ioannes DANTISCUS] to [Stanisław HOZJUSZ (HOSIUS)]
Löbau (Lubawa), 1537-04-17

English register: Dantiscus is replying to Hozjusz’s letter of March 7. He thanks Hozjusz for his renewed declarations of goodwill and in return assures him that he will always support his plans. He informs Hozjusz that a few days before, he spoke about his affairs with representatives of the Warmia Chapter (Tiedemann Giese and Felix Reich). He thanks him for his news, and in the name of friendship asks for more, as extensive as possible. He also asks Hozjusz to recommend him every day to his superior, the Płock bishop (Grand Chancellor Jan Chojeński).

Eximie Domine, Amice carissime. Salutem et omnem felicitatem.

Litteras Tuae Dominationis Cracoviae Nonis Martiis datas hic pauloante accepi, quibus illum tuum in me amorem, quo me, cum adhuc puer esses, hactenus prosecutus es, habunde mihi declarasti. Quod eo fuit gratius, quo certo compertum habeam hanc tuam omni fuco carere in me animi propensionem. Vicissim tibi de me persuade, quod in amando te nihilo sum remissior, quam tu in me esse possis idipsum re ipsa, si quando oportunitas tibi bene faciendi se obtulerit, testabor. Egique hic ante paucos dies cum domino custode Varmiensi collegaque eius, qui a capitulo ad me erant missi, ea, quae in tuos usus accomoda esse arbitrabar, illorumque ac aliorum, neque meus tibi favor et patrocinium, ubi pro te quippiam agendum incumbet, deerit.

Pro novis, que scripsisti, gratiam habeo, quod ut saepius et quam copiosissime facias oro, et pro iure amiciciae nostrae a te postulo. Praeterea (quod numquam per te omitti velim), ut me in dies communi domino nostro reverendissimo Plocensi cariorem commendatioremque tua commemoratione efficias, quo mihi nihil umquam facere poteris gratius. Bene vale.

Ex castro meo Lubaviensi, XVII Aprilis anno Domini M-o DXXXVII
