is very much at our throats, and what we can achieve and decide on for even greater freedom and a better and better order in the Republic of Poland, we must all strive for, and we promise to do nothing to deviate from this, to the best of our ability. 9. And since we are all here for love, for the good and important needs of the Republic of Poland, we willingly take up this duty and want to do it enough, so we inherit that we, like us, will show this love for the Republic of Poland and will want to serve it and deal with us. together, so that they do not, in the slightest respect, imitate their good ancestors by any unseemly acts. And anyone from our lands. not being here with us at this time for some good reasons, for this our conspiracy and duty [he wanted to serve the Republic of Poland], we ordered the born Mr. Stanisław Drohojowski, as the elder among us at that time, to write down the name of anyone who wanted and asked for it, and press his seal. And that with certain requests in the common needs of the Republic of Poland, we send certain envoys to the lords of the crown councils and to the nobility of noble blood born in Great and Little Poland, wherever they can reach them, as to Great Poland, one envoy, born Mr. Jan Dawidowski, to Little Poland, and to Little Poland, lords of Wojciech Starzechowski, chamberlain of Lviv, Krzysztof Głowa, secretary, Jan Bieykowski, the Przemyśl carpenter, and Mr. Stanisław Żółkiewski, born in the Volhynian land, to Łuck, then, not being able to give all of our envoys a letter of believers to our large number, being here in Dąbrowa during a very rainy day, we entrusted Mr. Walienty Orzechowski, born Mr. Stanisław Drohojowski, that such letters would be written in our name with the signatures and seals of the two believers themselves. And these deputies, gentlemen deputies, described above in each country, are to present us with whatever good they will do for us, so that we can inform everyone about it, so that we can know about it in time and be able to meet there. 10. All this is our decision, as it is described in the town records of Lviv, Przemyśl, Sanok, Chełm, Krasnystaw, Żydaczów, Halych and other towns in the Russian lands, which are not subject to air, and when they are free from air, they are to be introduced by Mr. Stanisław DrohoJowski, or whomever he commissioned from his place, also to Bełsk and Volhynia. And the city hall is to send and promulgate extracts of this to all cities and towns not covered by the annexation. And for a better testimony, some of us have affixed our seals in this short and very inclement time, with our names and those of all our brothers who are with us at this time with our common and uniform consent, to which they have always promised to be known to us, and have promised to affix their seals in a slower and more cheerful time.
