[2.] De negotiis serenissimi et clementissimi domini mei nihil adhuc scribere possum, scribam ex Thamovo. Oblitus fui ostendere Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationi, cum apud eam essem et de his rebus sermo incidisset quiddam, quod nuper dum in bibliotheca reverendissimi domini mei, domini Plocensis3 nescio quid revolvimus, in

5 Ferdinand constantly resented through his envoys that Sigismund offered refuge to Szapolyai, and tried to convince him to expel Szapolyai from his country.
