Reverendissime in Christo Pater Domine, domine observandissime. Post servitiorum meorum humilem in gratiam Dominationis Tuae Reverendissimae commendationem.

Scio, quod dominus paenitentiarius noster, bonus et fidelis servitor Dominationis Tuae Reverendissimae, ea scribit, quae ad expeditionem episcopatus pertinent. In qua re meum etiam illi non defuit officium, testimonium enim virtutis et eruditionis Dominationis Tuae Reverendissimae, quam ego omnium semper iudicio praecipuam in omni genere agnovi et expertus fueram, hic dedi valde libenter, ad reliqua etiam obsequia, si quae ego praestare potuissem, me ultro offerendo. At confecit dominus paenitentiarius omnia cum reliquis, quibus id negotii a Dominatione Tua Reverendissima fuerat demandatum, ut propterea illa missa facio, deos certe immortales deprecor sedulo, ut qui pro sua pietate Dominationem Tuam Reverendissimam in eam dignitatem evehere dignati fuerint, quam diutissime eandem salvam atque incolumem conservent.

Reverendissimo etiam domino meo episcopo Cracoviensi ingentes gratias habeo et ago, quae ea occasione interveniente opportunam virtutis et meritorum Dominationis Tuae Reverendissimae apud maiestatem regiam fecerit recordationem. Quae tantae et adeo eximiae semper exstiterunt, ut nemine etiam interpellante umquam oblivisci possint. Accidit certe Reverendissimae Dominationi Tuae, quod haud scio an nostris temporibus alteri nemini. Unde De<o> Optimo Maximo laus sit et gloria, quod si pari semper ratione ceteri, qui ad eiusmodi dignitates vocarentur. Minus profecto res nostra ecclesiastica, minus, inquam, laboraret et pacatiora essent omnia. Sed haec illi viderint. Ego me Dominationi Tuae Reverendissimae commendo et rogo, ut me servitoris loco habere velit et per occasionem reverendissimo domino meo cardinali Sanctorum Quattuor et domino episcopo Cracoviensi commendare. Ea etenim est Dominationis Tuae Reverendissimae ubique auctoritas et opinio , ut plurimum ego res meas apud eos principes commendatione Dominationis Tuae Reverendissimae adiuvari censerem. Honestum praeterea videretur, ut qui ad vanam et mendacem illius sycophantae relationem Dominatio Tua Reverendissima ignara rerum omnium apud reverendissimum dominum cardinalem de me queri voluit, aliquam innocentiae meae et Dominationis Tuae Reverendissimae in me animi significationem faceret. Mitto Dominationi Tuae Reverendissimae chirographum quendam illius, nescio, an eum militem Terentianum vel parasitum appellem, ut esset, quod aliquando otiosus rideret. Vir bonus et apprime disertus scribit, agens, at verius patiens scripsisset, nam si eorum, quae aetate sua iuvenili hic admiserat, non meminit, certe quod paulo ante Cracow (Kraków, Cracovia), city in southern Poland, Małopolska, on the Vistula river, from 1038 capital of the Kingdom of Poland⌊CracoviaeCracow (Kraków, Cracovia), city in southern Poland, Małopolska, on the Vistula river, from 1038 capital of the Kingdom of Poland⌋ a domina nostra, pugnis in os inverecunde et mendaciter caesus fuerit, recordari debuisset.
