Nicolao Tarło de Szczekarzowieze vexiilifero premisliensi plenam et omnimodam facultatem ad omnia infradescripta agendi ad conventum glem. spectantia, ubicunąue locorum indicetur tempore hoc interregni, polonico idiomate scriptam, per euodem Unicki ad acta praesentia in carta porrectam tenoris infrascripti: That, being at that time subject to the confederation and common permission in Dąbrowa Dolhomoscińska on the Rakiem River at Wisznie allowed*) about riding on election to Łomża or to the place where it will be placed, seeing the sharp and harsh consent, which they did very well, but because of their poverty and their failure, which came not from an outside enemy but from their natural master, because of the cruel and impious injustice and the taking of all their lands, I had to go on an expedition that they were not supposed to do, because Queen Bona, having appointed her own villages, commissioners and starostas. she took them by force and by force, not officially, not according to the law, taking away their settled villages, farmsteads, fodder, lands and all their use which they had in their land as described in their privileges. The staroste of Czosnów arrived and ordered their peasants not to obey their former masters anymore, they divided their manors and farms, and if any of them came or arrived, they would kill them. What did they do to their masters that pleased them so much that others died wandering under the fences, many of them went to Vlachs, to Hungary, some went to the Turks, others were executed, it will be said. '< and they died begging so many times, the Jewish curse was almost fulfilled over them, that your slaves will rule over you for a while. The first few hundred of them served the Rzplej on good terms, today twenty horses from all these villages will not go to serve the Rzpllej, the others have to go out, shabby and on sticks, because everything has been taken away. And so, at that time, no more of us could be gathered or sent, except those five people whom we sent in the company of the Przemyśl standard-bearer, Mr. Mikołaj Tarle. Not only have our names been taken away from us, but with our privileges, complaints and protestations, we have become so impoverished during the thirty sejms that there are no more miserable noblemen in the Polish Crown. And this one is Mr. For twenty years now, Nicholas has maintained such a kind, pious, just and neighborly relationship between us that no one has ever been able to complain to him about our oppression and enslavement, which we still suffer from the Sambori starosty, so that in our names, as in our villages, they take more from us than from the royal peasants; scribes, ushers, village heads will invade the house of the nobles indicta causa, without consent, without any objection to the law, they will take care of the children, they will force the cattle out of the barn, so that they can also graze in their own garden, give them food, which Mr. Mikołaj Tarło has pledged for us against several starosts, and there is hostility and trouble about our wrongs. We, therefore, all of us, especially those who, not only because of our poverty, but others because of their illness, go to Mr. Tarł, we vote as if they were a nobleman to elect a king, and whatever he proposes in this matter, we promise to fulfill it with our good, honest words and accept it with gratitude. To whom in the Republic of Poland he would help us with our wrongs, as he used to do in the past, we give full power by this provision of ours in the light of our privileges.
