Generose domine amice in Cristo carissime. Salutem in Domino et optatam felicitatem.

Cum vos intellexissem cum 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 Austriacaesarea maiestateSigismund 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 Bologna (Bononia), city in Italy at the southern end of the plain of the Po valley, between 1506 and 1860 it belonged to the Papal StateBononiaeBologna (Bononia), city in Italy at the southern end of the plain of the Po valley, between 1506 and 1860 it belonged to the Papal State esse, scripsi vobis per quendam Romipetam gratias agens ob testatae benevolentia<e> officia, quae nostro nepoti Iohanni exhibere voluit et eundem rebus praeclarissimis et memorandis adhibere. Et nunc gratias agimus, cumulatiore enim amore a nobis omnibus Dreuitiis amaberis. Sed hoc me plurimum angit, quod aliis saepe scribens, mihi raro scribas, cum utique me non inter postremos fautores semper habueris et deinceps semper habebit. Et crede, quod tui bonam habemus rationem et principi ingerimus per occasionem, ut tuorum servitiorum rationem habeat. Spero autem, sciens maiestatis optimam in te mentem, quod prima occasione digne praemiaberis. Nos sumus hic in terrore, terremur enim Turco, qui in proximo subornare deberet Valachum ob eam rem, quod Iohanni regi non auxiliamur; sed sacrae caesareae maiestatis nos solatur magnanimitas, quae non patietur et sui serenissimi fratris et totius christianitatis iniuriam inultam fore et praesertim quod nunc exsistens in Germania Germanorum vires altae suae prudentiae stimulo de facili excitabit, ut ei hosti tempestive, antequam vires suas extendat, obvient. Iam certa nova habemus, quod Tartari transierint versus nos Boristenem, clementem hiemem habentes, et Valachus parat exercitum. Et nos etiam curabimus prospicere, ne praeveniamur. Scribite nobis, quid istic agatur et reverendissimo domino Tridentino nos commendetis.
