1. Instructions pp. envoys from the Russian lands to the convocation in Warsaw on the 2nd month of February, given by the lords of the councils and knights of these Russian lands at the Lviv congress on the 7th month of January in the year of our Lord 1687. The gentlemen envoys, having appeared in Warsaw on the day appointed for the convocation, will try to ensure that the congress and meeting of the main a) and general convocation as such According to the law, namely the statute of the king Sigismund the First, it belongs and serves, so that the time and the place of election therein should be appointed and designated, so the absence and absence of delays is enough for this to happen, and the time was appointed as soon as possible for this act, because in this, as in the whole Republic of Poland, it belongs so much to the Russian lands, for the pericula and dangers, some of which come from Tatarzin, but also very important news comes from Turczyn. Therefore, they will take every care to ensure that the deadline is not extended and the matter is not missed, while moderating and arranging this time so that a proper intervallum temporis can be left for announcing and making it known to everyone and for carrying out those events and meetings which are usually anticipated in advance of the election period. After all, there is a method and custom, and finally, a law as the sejms convene and what interTalla are for assembling the sejmiks and the sejm itself and announcing them, so they can now use this method and law at this designated time. 'WITH. They will try to ensure that the city, as the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, is equally involved in this matter with the Crown, and has privileged places for all congresses with the Crown in Lublin and Parczew, so that any of these places is marked for this matter, and they will urgently convey it to all our brothers and the assembly there to the fact that if ever, then these countries are very vulnerable to Russians and for them, God forbid anything else would happen to them. And so, if we gather in a place close to all the Crown, we will need the largest army, and such a force cannot be obtained for money, and therefore the enemy would not be as bold to try as if we were in a distant place, then our countries would be insulted and left to the enemy at will, and the free election could not only be interrupted but also lost. When the time and place will be determined, the MPs will take care of what is included in this electionis act, so that a generalis confoederatio is made with the permission of all lands, which would ensure that we honestly candida and sine fuco take part in this election, because we deserve a lot in it, because the kind of lord we choose, we will have. Therefore, as has already been agreed here, the generals of the consensus of all lands were agreed that at that time, before the election of the king, everyone should act unanimously and unitedly against the homeland and the Republic of Poland, that is, no advice, agreements, practices, or money should be taken to raise troops from anyone, nor any troops to the detriment of the Republic of Poland and confoederatis principibus by the states of the Polish Crown to distract the free He did not dare to announce the election. So no agreement can be reached through letters or deputies by election unless there is information and agreement among all states he did not make clergy, lay people or others belonging to the electorate, so that no voivodeship, land, district or city would want to break away from the common election of a lord and common consent. Also, they should not dare to anticipate each other in choosing a master and agreeing to one another; so that no one would dare to receive or send envoys from outside lords or communicate with them or dare to internuntios. That no one would dare to invite or bring extraneum militem to the Crown, and if they found any people, to send them away at the same time. 3. And if there is no consensus among all the Crown to join such a confederation, then we do not want to be bound by this, which article eadem autoritate we qualify as a confederation, sub fide et houore, and for better certainty we include this instruction in the city records of Lviv. 4. Justice in causis civilibus, inscriptionibus et quibusvis aliis contractibus, that the house could not be persuaded here, because due to the yinculum that the crown lands have with them, many affairs of the local lands of citizens from other lands and voivodeships also involve citizens of other lands and voivodeships, and the other voivodeships adjacent to us did not provide for this, so the gentlemen deputies have to ask about it try to ensure that at this general congress of the consensus of the commune it was stipulated that such justice could be achieved everywhere according to the old common law, so that people could easily express their interests and work under the impediment of justice. And if they don't receive it there, the gentlemen deputies should take it to the congress of the local lands, so that it can be decided between us, if the others don't want it. 5. They will then postpone pp. deputies of all brethren and the assembly there, what dangers the local countries are facing and the imminent, not only, as has been appointed above Tartar, of whom all those who in the past interregna have done to our great regret, but also from Turczyn, as the case comes to us and as a similarity itself, because he has not yet experienced and deeply experienced the menti insedit that was recently experienced by ours in his countries happened, which he apparently would not want to miss the opportunity to veto. And since we ourselves cannot cope with such powerful enemies, and our periculum is also followed by others, we ask them not to abandon us and to give us rescue and defense to our countries, which would be non-affiliate of goods and noble persons from the soldier, as before, they persuaded everyone who urgently and diligently needs to work with Their Lord. 0. Moreover, gentlemen, the deputies should strive to ensure that these disputes and privata odia, which have respectable estates and certain persons among themselves, are compared and obliterated by all the estates of the Crown, or, if this is not possible, publica fide et autoritate is recognized and stopped for a certain period of time, because for these quarrels, the summa pericula of the Crown and the death of all of us could fall upon the whole Crown. they didn't get time. 7. The deputies will do all these things with all faith and diligence. 8. They will also make sure that they go there as soon as possible, because the weather is bad for us, and that they do not have any fun or stay on two Sundays, but during this time they will also try to make other arrangements so that everything that belongs to this meeting will take effect as needed. 9. For the Archbishop of Lviv*), whose merits are considerable, and whose beneficiary was taken from him by the city of his care, who, by virtue of his law that he is secundus in ordine senatorio inter spirituales and was inadvertently excluded from the coronation constitution, should strive to ensure that the rewards of his services, namely the Sulejów abbey, and this office remain with him. 10. Following Imcia, Mr. Starzechowski, Mr. The deputies are to contribute to ensuring that the sum from the lease from Medyniecka and Sambor is paid to them. 11. Moreover, Mrs. Jankulina, the voivode of Wallachia, is supposed to support her, as if the villages that she had by the grace of J. Kr. Mci, were restored so that she could receive proper care. 13. Also for Lord Temruk they have a request and a cause to all states, as if he would be provided for his significant services. 13. Ask for Kamieniec to be provided for, 14. For their merits, according to the con-
