[3.] Porro intelligimus summum pontificem, quem sperabamus redempturum Israel, huic incendio faces etiam addere, 5 quo haud dubium est aliquod grave discrimen secuturum, et si Vestra Dominatio hic adesset, et animum principis ac regnicolarum omnium exacerbatum videret, iudicaret prorsus de ipsa re ecclesiastica hic actum. 13 post vestris ms.

BK 245: Reverendissima add. 27 hic: sit BK 245 This is the earliest letter in the Krzycki–Brodarics correspondence. We do not know exactly how long they had known each other, but it must have been a long time (per totos annos). Since Krzycki, like Brodarics, studied in Bologna in the first years of the century, conceivably they might have met there. 4  After the death of Bishop of Płock Erazm Ciołek (1522) Sigismund appointed Rafał Leszczyński, Bishop of Przemiśl as his successor. Thus the latter bishopric became vacant. Krzycki, who had been Provost of Poznań got this. 5  A clear allusion to the discord between the Pope and the Polish court regarding the appointment of bishops

Non desunt Bohemi et alii vicini, qui ignem succendant, nisi quod aegre adhuc per pontifices nostros arcetur incendium. Ego me huic aleae admixtum vehementer doleo, meque, si iuris mei essem, ex hac turba libentissime subducerem. Episcopatus Plocensis iussus est in manus secularium tradi, electo regio locus in senatu episcopi Plocensis, et mihi Premisliensis est assignatus imperio principis ac procerum omnium. Quid reliquum futurum sit, ubi pontifex et vos istic ita rem, ut coepistis, tractaveritis, non libet augurari.
