Ioannes DANTISCUS to [Ermland (Warmia)] chapter
Heilsberg (Lidzbark), 1545-04-03

English register:

The canons of Ermland (Warmia) are aware that the nobles of Royal Prussia have asked Dantiscus to obtain a postponement from the king [Sigismund I Jagiellon] regarding the date of the military muster. Yesterday the king’s reply arrived, a copy of which he encloses. Dantiscus believes that the chapter ought to join him in complying with its contents.

Non est incognitum Fraternitatibus Vestris nobiles superinscribed in place of crossed-out nobilitatem⌈nobilitatem nobiles nobiles superinscribed in place of crossed-out nobilitatem⌉ harum terrarum nos superinscribed in place of crossed-out a me⌈a menosnos superinscribed in place of crossed-out a me⌉ rogasse, ut illis protractius tempus lustrationis a serenissima maiestate regia obtineremus. Qua in re heri responsum accepimus, quod in scheda est descriptum. Ad quod ut se nobiscum Fraternitates Vestrae accomodent, operae pretium censemus.

Quas feliciter valere optamus.
