Novo Sandecii etenimmille sexcenti et amplius extincti sunt. In Antiqua Sandecz duo millia trecenti et supra mortui. In Pagis Vicinioribus ad numerum duorum millium ad meliorem renati VitamMortales. Hic quoque Podegrodzyi cen- tum sexaginta 5que e vivis extincti per pestem extitere, in nu- mero quorum Totus Ecclesiae Decor: excellentes Scholares, Organarius nempe Ioannes Czernkiewicz (cuius insignis in Choro Compositionum ipsius extat et extabit memoria), Cantor Ioannes Zurkowski, Martinus Jodlowski, et Ioannes Panderski, musici, cum omnibus quotquot erant Ecclesiae huius Pode- grodzensis servitoribus, omnes e vivis ad sublimia Caelestia Regna elati ...
