Habeo gratias Vestrae Magnificentiae, quod me suis litteris invisere dignata est. Magna etiam afficior animi oblectatione, quod cum hoc re et nomine vere catholico imperatore in Italiam traiecit et quod coronam imperialem accipere contendit vel iam ea fortassis superinscribed⌈fortassisfortassis superinscribed⌉ decoratus est. Faxit Deus Optimus Maximus, ut rei publicae christianae id totum in gloriam cedat. I<n>tra octiduum hoc, dominica videlicet Sexagesima, quae erit vicesima Februarii, serenissimus princeps et dominus dominus Sigismundus Augustus avito diademate decorabitur et in regem Poloniae omnium regni ordinum consensu coronabitur. Faxit deus, ut faustum et felix sit initium et ut parens maiestatis suae, eius nominis primus, multos in annos nobis feliciter praesit. In crastino praesentationis litterarum Magnificentiae Vestrae egi rem litteris mihi commissam strenue cum regia et reginali celsitudine et iam ieci non contemnenda initia cum reginali maiestate. Sollicitabo in dies, ut votis Magnificentiae Vestrae satisfiat.

Licet multo tempore exspectatus, opportune tamen rediit. Iamiam alter in ordine erat nuntius, qui eo ferme die absolvendus erat, ut eundem curialem quaesisset. Absolvit tamen nos magno dubio.

Male certe apud orthodoxos audit, quod negotium Luteranorum frigide t<r>actatur in his comitiis et nisi in aliquo bono ordine firmetur, metuendum erit, ne haec sessio religionis, caerimoniarum et observantiae sacrae magnum et multum malum nobis pariat. Habebit enim facillimum modum grassandi in christicolas Thurcha potentissimus, nec spes aliqua relinquetur expeditionis contra Thurchas.

Rogo autem, ut posteaquam illos numeratos acceperit, syngrapham aut schedam recepti mutui manu propria scriptam ad me mittat, statuatque ipse solutionis diem.

Litteras apostolicas expeditionis confirmationis Vestrae Dominationis Reverendae quantocius ad episcopatum mittat. Sunt etenim magnae comminationes et interminationes on the margin⌈et interminationeset interminationes on the margin⌉, et animadversio in eos, qui ante habitas litteras confirmationis in bona episcopalia se intromitterent.
