exposita ad negotia maiestatis suae.4 Summa militum ascendit altius: vult enim maies- 15 tas sua duo milia equitum, quingentos sagittarios et quingentos pedites. Dominatio Vestra Magnifica nunc, cum tempus est, operetur pro sua maiestate cumulatissimas gratias et praemia, Deo volente, a sua maiestate habitura.

Tamen isti non ita cito poterunt venire, iudicio nostro, ut primae irruptioni possent interessé. Dominatio Vestra Magnifica mittat huc hominem suum, qui istas gentes videat, secernat, ordinet et mittat, nam regia maiestas nobis praecepit, ne hinc discederemus, quousque hae gentes se moveant versus suam maiestatem. Dominationem 25 Vestram bene valere optamus, cui nos commendamus.

1. Mikolqj WHczek held negotiations with Jan Tarnow.ski in recent days concerning the auxiliary troops to be sent to Szapolyai: however, since Sigismund forbade recruiting, now they are heading for the national assembly in Piotrków to get the Polish King's approval. - 2. Since John has the whole winter to recruit an army, they would prefer not to urge the arrival of the auxiliary troops so that all could arrive at the same time. - 5. John should send money for recruitment to Lemberg or elsewhere, because Tarnowski can pay only 2-3000 Forints, which is not enough for the soldiers' pay. - 3. Jakub Seczygniewski, recommended by Tarnowski, is willing to serve John if he gets permission from Sigismund and money from John. - 4. Piotr Kmita has learnt in Moldova that the Sultan s army was defeated in Persia twice. Still, the Sultan is planning a military campaign for next year, perhaps against Hungary. 5. They hope that all this will be arranged by
