Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine observandissime.

Salutem et obsequiosam mei meaeque observantiae commendationem.

Gratissimae mihi fuerunt Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae cf. Ioannes DANTISCUS to Seweryn BONER 1545-12-01 — 1546-01-16, CIDTC IDL 7357, letter lost⌊litteraecf.

De qua et Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae gratulor et quod parem mihi optet, plurimam habeo gratiam, simul autem opto, ut et salubritatem istam diu semperque Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae indulgeat Dominus, et eius tam illustribus de mea votis idem annuat invisumque istum podagrae morbum, quo iam supra duos menses distineor, tandem depellat.
