Reverendissime in Christo Pater, eximie domine praesul, domine gratiose.

Studia et obsequia nostra indefessa sint Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitati in officiosa commendatione praemissa.

Reverendissime ac Gratiose Domine.

In illa structura molendini duplici nomine gravamur. Primum, quod Reverendissimae Paternitati Vestrae ac nobis subditisque utrorumlibet in praeiudicium est aedificata. Secundo, quod conspiciendi tempus longius protelatur et, ut in oblivionem transeat, de industria procrastinatur, et est mora illa nobis et gravis, et nociva. Cum autem ad conspiciendum semel consenserimus, videtur nobis illustrissimum dominum Albrecht I von Hohenzollern-Ansbach (Albrecht von Brandenburg) (*1490 – †1568), 1511-1525 Grand Master of the Teutonic Order; from 1525 to his death Duke in Prussia as a liegeman of the Polish king; son of Friedrich V of Brandenburg der Ältere and Sophia Jagiellon (daughter of Casimir IV Jagiellon), nephew of Sigismund I, King of Poland; founder of the university in Königsberg (1544)ducem PrussiaeAlbrecht I von Hohenzollern-Ansbach (Albrecht von Brandenburg) (*1490 – †1568), 1511-1525 Grand Master of the Teutonic Order; from 1525 to his death Duke in Prussia as a liegeman of the Polish king; son of Friedrich V of Brandenburg der Ältere and Sophia Jagiellon (daughter of Casimir IV Jagiellon), nephew of Sigismund I, King of Poland; founder of the university in Königsberg (1544) denuo admonendum, ut tempus brevius determinet et maxime, absoluta perlustratione limitum Lithuaniae ac Masoviae ducatuum, tandem ad molendini structuras conspiciendas etiam se per suos accomodet atque nos ab illis praeiudiciis iniuriose et ad contemptum factis gratiose relevet. Alias, necessitate cogente, oportebit nos alia remedia quaerere aut, consiliis aliunde quaesitis, huic malo obviare, prout hoc Reverendissimae Paternitatis Vestrae potissime consultum videbitur etc.
