Porro quod tantus Sinico – Tartaricus Monarcha, cui maxima pars orbis obtemperat, lubenti animo et effigiem nostram suspexerit et ottomanicam superbiam potentiamque, Superis propitiis, multiplicibus attritam esse victoriis curiosus intellexerit, aeque nobis honorificum ac iucundum esse non inficiamur, immo satisfactionem, quam inde cepimus et grati animi contestationem a Devot.

In hoc quoque non minimum experimur oblectamentum, quod quemadmodum Divina Providentia Polonicis armis et dexteris ad Christianae Religionis Sanctissimae contra barbaros et infidelissimos hostes defensionem uti dignata est, ita potentissimi et sapientissimi Monarchae protectione veri Dei Opt.
