entreat you also to live a good life and obey God, as I have often told you. Give thanks in my name to my gracious mistress the Queen for all the kindnesses she hath conferred on me. Greet your family and the other faithful friends, whose names I may not mention. I entreat you all to pray to God in my behalf; by His help we shall soon meet together in His gracious and holy presence. Amen. I write this in prison in fetters, which I am wearing, I trust, for the gospel of God, expecting every moment the sentence of death. For God’s sake, I pray you suffer not good priests to be oppressed.
Master Hus,
in hope a servant of God.
Peter,[1] dearest friend, keep my fur cloak in memory of me.
Lord Henry Lefl,[2] live a good life with thy wife. My thanks to thee! God be thy reward!
Faithful friend, Master Lideři and Mistress Margaret, Masters Skuoček and Mikeška[3] and others: may God grant you an eternal reward for your toils and the other kindness you have conferred on me.
Master Christian,[4] faithful and beloved, God be with thee!
Master Martin,[5] my disciple, remember those things which I taught thee.
Master Nicolas[6] and Peter, the Queen’s chaplain, and the other masters and priests, be diligent students of God’s word.
