Post humillimam servitiorum et orationum mearum in gratiam Paternitatis Vestrae Reverendissimae commendationem.

Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine clementissime.

Rediit huc heri honorabilis dominus Otto parrochus Novoforensis referens nobis Paternitatem Vestram Reverendissimam, dominum nostrum clementissimum, adversa laborare valetudine et propterea non potuisse quicquam rescribere. Quod quantum nos omnes, et praesertim me, qui plus ceteris a Paternitate Vestra Reverendissima, domino et maecenate meo colendissimo, beneficiorum accepi, turbavit, scribere non valeo. Mallem ipse eam, si possibile esset, ferre, quam nunc Paternitas Vestra Reverendissima sustinet, infirmitatem. Sed cum illam nullo alio iuvare possum, orabo assiduis precibus humillime Divinam Maiestatem, ut Paternitatem Vestram Reverendissimam cito pristinae restitutam sanitati, quam diutissime pro commodo Royal Prussia (Prussia Regalis), region, part of Prussia annexed to the Kingdom of Poland in 1466 under the provisions of the Second Peace of Thorn⌊rei publicaeRoyal Prussia (Prussia Regalis), region, part of Prussia annexed to the Kingdom of Poland in 1466 under the provisions of the Second Peace of Thorn⌋, huius patriae, nostraque omnium consolatione et praesidio sanam et incolumem conservet.
