English Translation

When the foundation was created in 1704, there was neither a "wendic" nor a "Czech" question. There is no question that the foundation had been designated for cultural work in Lusatia. Rather, it was created in the general humanitarian-enlightenment enthusiasm for educational and scientific work, which is characteristic of the sixteenth century. Since it corresponds to the norm that in the case of foundation assets, funds can be used for a new purpose for the purpose of the foundation, I have this fortune in favour of the political-scientific work in the local area. I am convinced that you will pay tribute to this decision in view of the fact that the Wendische Seminary was connected with the University of Prague, but also with regard to the fact, that decisive tasks are still to be completed in the field of national politics in Bohemia and Moravia, so that all responsible means must be used.
