Elisabeth Dei gratia regina Poloniae, magna dux Lituaniae, Russiae, Prussiae, Masoviae etc. domina

Reverendissime in Christo Pater, sincere nobis dilecte.

Gratissimae nobis fuerunt litterae Paternitatis Vestrae vel hoc nomine, quod nos pro sua singulari erga nos animi propensione inviserit, quod favore nostro aliquando referemus.
