Reverendissime in Christo Pater et domine clementissime.

Litteras omnes ob insignem notarii in unis lapsum remitto corrigendas , quod hic fieri non potest. Scripsit enim pro Alexandro Henricum. Praetera admonui superioribus meis litteris de X miliarium proscriptione et ex diocesi, quod Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima non habeat potestatem quemquam ulterius proscribendi, quam in sua diocesi, quae in certis locis (ut hic) se longius non extendit quam ad unum miliare, ideoque hoc de X-m miliaribus, ad quorum spatium relegantur mulieres, expungendum fuisse. Quod ut nunc etiam fiat, consulo. Postremo est „innocentes” pro „innocenter gerentes” alicubi scriptum, et si quae sunt alia, propterea omnes processus pariter remitto, ut posthac etiam pariter singuli exsecutionem accipiant.

Necessarium etiam est, ut canonicorum litterae seorsum colligantur, coquarum item seorsum et in unam cartam obsignatae plebano inscribantur, magnus enim error contingere posset, si hoc non fieret. Si enim ad manus trium illorum canonicorum patentes litterae coquarum pervenirent, non dubito intercipiendas, ne in exsecutionem poni possint. Committet igitur Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima nuntio suo reversuro, ut primum et ante omnia mulierum processus plebano reddat, deinde canonicorum alicui canonico, qui sine dubio reddet cuique suum meque, si opus fuerit, compellabit cautissime alioqui suspicionem in me non modicam congesturum.

Permittunt nunc prope in ultimo discrimine medici vinum modestissime quantum tamen ad confortationem cordis libere, sed purum, defaecatum et mite, non austerum aut nimis dulce aut nimirum forte, sed Ungaricum moderatum, Muscatellam, Malmaticum aut his similia. Ex quorum numero unam stopam mihi suffecturam arbitror. Cervisiam Pyentkowskensem a Dominatione Vestra Reverendissima donatam sentio nunc primum saluberrimam esse. Quotitidie igitur eam nunc bibo, sed exstat adhuc non parva pars, ut nunc Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram sollicitare non sit opus.
