Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, domine colendissime plurimumque observande. Post mei studiosissimam commendationem.

Etsi scripsi per Nicolaus Copernicus (Mikołaj Kopernik) (*1473 – †1543), humanist, physician and astronomer, doctor of canon law; nephew of Łukasz Watzenrode, Bishop of Ermland; 1497-1543 Canon of Ermland (Warmia); 1511-1513, 1520, 1524-1525, 1529 Chancellor of the Ermland Chapter; 1523 General Administrator of the bishopric after the death of Fabian von Lusian (Luzjański) (KOPICZKO 2, p. 161; SBKW, p. 123-124)doctorem NicolaumNicolaus Copernicus (Mikołaj Kopernik) (*1473 – †1543), humanist, physician and astronomer, doctor of canon law; nephew of Łukasz Watzenrode, Bishop of Ermland; 1497-1543 Canon of Ermland (Warmia); 1511-1513, 1520, 1524-1525, 1529 Chancellor of the Ermland Chapter; 1523 General Administrator of the bishopric after the death of Fabian von Lusian (Luzjański) (KOPICZKO 2, p. 161; SBKW, p. 123-124), quaecumque in praesentia res ferebat, induxique animum tantisper temperare ab omni scriptione, donec scirem Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram ita revaluisse, ut citra molestiam adiri litteris posset, tamen cum hic eius servitor istuc regrediens ad me divertisset, non potui committere, quin datis ei litteris ad Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram saltem hoc significarem me discruciari exspectatione redditae salutis et pristinae sanitatis Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae. Quam rogo, si (quod maxime exopto) melius coepit habere, me litteris suis id indicantibus invisere ac consolari dignetur atque hanc laetitiam omnibus nobis communem facere, ob quam et gratiae Domino Deo erunt persolvendae, cui Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram eiusque incolumitatem votis omnibus soleo commendare atque commendo.
