Simon Blick (Plick) had become engaged to Hedwig Spitzkirchen, who had been separated from her husband Veit Zan for 12 years, but had not divorced him. The lawyer of Blick, who had last been abbot in Pegau, had appealed against the verdict.
According to a copy in the Weimar Archives, Reg. O, pag. 459, printed by Burkhardt, p. 415.
In response to the heard, read out, large, useless blathering and haggling 1) of the lawyer [of] Simon Blick against the verdict, spoken here in Wittenberg in the Consistorio, I say for myself or my person, regardless of such dreadful, terrible blathering of the lawyer, that I like the verdict (vrtel), so allhie gesprochen ist, wollt's noch heute (heute) Tag selbst noch sprechen und stärken, eben nach und durch des Anwaltes Elstergeschrei, und hiemit Simon Blick Glück zu seiner anderen Ehe, das einem öffentlichen Eherecher GOtt beschert hat und gegeben wird.
