Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, frater et amice honorande. Salutem et felicitatem.

Ex litteris Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae mihi admodum gratis intelligo eandem velle certiorem reddi, quibus modis et per quos exactores ea contributio novissime instituta exigi debeat etc. Inde est, quod scire velim Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram, quod cum superioribus annis Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austriaregia maiestasSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria Gdańsk (Danzig, Dantiscum), city in northern Poland, on the Bay of Gdańsk at the mouth of the Vistula, on the Baltic, the biggest and wealthiest of the three Great Prussian Cities (Gdańsk, Thorn (Toruń), and Elbing (Elbląg)) with representation in the Council of Royal Prussia; a member of the Hanseatic LeagueGedaniGdańsk (Danzig, Dantiscum), city in northern Poland, on the Bay of Gdańsk at the mouth of the Vistula, on the Baltic, the biggest and wealthiest of the three Great Prussian Cities (Gdańsk, Thorn (Toruń), and Elbing (Elbląg)) with representation in the Council of Royal Prussia; a member of the Hanseatic League esset, exactores etiam in Ermland (Warmia, Varmia), diocese and ecclesiastical principality in northeastern Poland, 1466-1772 within the Kingdom of Poland, Royal Prussiaepiscopatu meoErmland (Warmia, Varmia), diocese and ecclesiastical principality in northeastern Poland, 1466-1772 within the Kingdom of Poland, Royal Prussia ad contributionem tunc decretam constitutos fuisse, verum cum in episcopatum redirem, reddebar a subditis meis certior ab antiquo non exactores, sed episcopos huiusmodi contributiones exigere et exactas in thesaurum regium inferre consuevisse. Scripsi ergo Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austriaregiae maiestatiSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria orans, ne me minoris fidei faceret, quam antecessores mei fuerant, sed in exigenda contributione officio meo fungi permitteret. Et quod volebam, obtinui et ita hodie in ista quoque contributione exigenda servabo. Nam plures esse collectores non est in rem Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austriaregiae maiestatisSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria, quotquot enim sunt collectores, tot esse impensas necessum est.

Id quod et Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram facile obtenturam non dubito. Formulam autem contributionis hoc anno decretae ex scheda indita (si modo eam non habet) plane cognoscet Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra. Quam diligenter, ut in Graudenz (Grudziądz, Graudentium), city in Poland, Voivodeship of Pomerania, on the upper east bank of the Vistula, Graudenz (taking turns with Marienburg (Malbork)) was the venue for the Provincial Diet of Royal Prussia, which were chaired by the bishop of Ermland (Warmia)GrudentinumGraudenz (Grudziądz, Graudentium), city in Poland, Voivodeship of Pomerania, on the upper east bank of the Vistula, Graudenz (taking turns with Marienburg (Malbork)) was the venue for the Provincial Diet of Royal Prussia, which were chaired by the bishop of Ermland (Warmia) proximum conventum ire non abstineat, rogo. Nam ego variis languoribus impeditus in ipsum me conferre hoc potissimum brumali tempore nequaquam possum. Est autem et locus Dominationi Vestrae Reverendissimae multo quam mihi propinquior. Quod superest, Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram ut Christus quam diutissime sospitem et salvam conservet, opto.
