Reverendissimo Domino, domino Ioanni Dei gratia episcopo Warmiensi, domino et amico carissimo ac observandissimo

Reverendissime Domine, domine amice carissime ac observandissime.

Salutem et rerum omnium quam felicissimum successum.

Id de me, rogo, persuasum sibi velit Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra me illam, ut coepi quidem in minoribus adhuc fortunis constitutam, omni officiorum meorum genere constantissime usque observaturum esse. Debetur hoc profecto a me laudatissimis virtutibus et singulari Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae erga me benevolentiae, superest modo, ut aliquando aliquis mei usus illi esse possit. Ubique me sincerum et minime aulicum praestabo.
