Apud hunc, ut Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra ordiatur hanc querelam, consulo atque rogo. Inde de agendis apud principes nostros nobis ministrabitur consilium. Quod Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra non est gravata in negotio ecclesiae meae priori scriptioni addere, alteram ad nepotem suum, habeo plurimam gratiam. Huic etiam oeconomi mei causam commendandam esse, erat mihi persuasissimum. Verum cum dominus iudex Culmensis principio huius tragoediae palam iactaret se inscio canonicatum illum Martin von Zehmen (Marcin Cema) (†ca. 1542), 1504 Kulm vicar general and judicial vicar; 1530-1532 administrator of Kulm bishopric (after the death of Jan Konopacki, and during Dantiscus' absence) (BISKUP 1992, p. 219-220)Martini CzemeMartin von Zehmen (Marcin Cema) (†ca. 1542), 1504 Kulm vicar general and judicial vicar; 1530-1532 administrator of Kulm bishopric (after the death of Jan Konopacki, and during Dantiscus' absence) (BISKUP 1992, p. 219-220) ab ipso nepote Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae pro filio impetratum esse, qui hunc etiam in lite patronum esset habiturus, maluit meus oeconomus qualemcumque sibi asciscere procuratorem, quam deserta causa periclitari, cui consilio nec ego deesse potui, malens interim transactione aliqua, quam lite causam terminari, usus in hac re etiam Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationis {Vestrae} opera apud iudicem Culmensem, qui, quam fidem in conventis praestet, Reverendissima Dominatio Vestra aliquando intelliget. Novarum rerum nihildum hic novus annus huc attulit, praeter ea, quae hospites mei referunt, Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationi non ignota, quae posthac in mercatum advenient, non negligem exponere Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae.
