they came to this place from that group, with the understanding that wherever they came to them, they would have to appear before the Atars who were in this circle*. They were told, "They are allowed to do whatever they want, we came here not to show off, so we won't show up." 4. For such a briefing, they came again, and Mr. Swossowski asked them for my voivode and their other men to come to them, if not today, then tomorrow, because it is already evening, we cannot stand in this field because the evening is coming; promising that we will not say anything to the voivode of the voivodeship, nor will we show ourselves, because there are strong people among us who do not admit this. We will not forget anything about the private dispute and we will remain in peace, and we will only talk about three articles, that is, about justice, about defense and which way we should go to the elections. To which we received the following response from the judge of Przemyśl: » The white-headed woman, who preferred to lose her son alive to the other side rather than have her son half cut off, is recommended to the Salamon court; We, too, being with our own sons of the Crown of our mother, who raised us for so many years and gave us, among other things, the Christian kingdoms, to a good reputation for eternity, do not want to see her cut down, we would rather at least let the older ones give way to the younger ones and not let our mother be disturbed by her successes. Tomorrow morning, at ten o'clock, we will present ourselves to their brothers and sisters in the place where their Lords are now, and there I will persuade them about the three articles mentioned, which are the most urgent and omitted in the convocation. With this the ambassadors dismissed them, and when both necklaces were returned to them, they dispersed. 6. The next day, the voivode came with all the yesterday's waste to the place where the previous day's waste was standing, to which many people from the Lviv land, who were in another group yesterday, and some of the Sanok land arrived; having made a circle, they waited a long while for the second one. Then, after an hour, those from Wisnia left, and when they saw the voivode in their place yesterday, they did not want to approach him, but just above the suburbs they stood and formed a circle, from which they soon sent their envoys to the voivode, so that the voivode and others could come to their circle, deputies elected at the convocation. "he listened to the legations and asked about further needs, which are described in the Warsaw Convocation), he made persuasions, reminding them that they, without them, Mr. Voivode, and without us, Mr. Voivode, cannot do anything. They answered and sent their messengers to them: 'Let us remember well the yesterday's discussions that took place between us per internuncios, let us remember why we parted pro finaii; We were to present ourselves in this place where we stand together and to discuss three things, that is, justice and defence, and to make common arrangements for the election, and they were not to remind us of any message or interruption; now we see something else, one is that they are not with us in the usual and designated place, the other is that they are asking for something different from yesterday's agreement to hear the message which we cannot listen to and do not need, but rather we are asking them to come to us as to their brothers in the place they wanted to come yesterday and talk about these mentioned articles. 6. After such a briefing, the envoys came again and asked if the voivode and his group were standing at the Warsaw Convocation? To which they replied that we would like to stand by the convocation, but we cannot, because we see that there is everything evil in it, and other voivodeships did not accept it, because the protestants, as senior senators of the voivodeships of Poznań, Sierak, Kalisz, Iaowłocławek, Masovia, Płock, Bełsk and other len time protestacye autentice we have*. Therefore, with this declaration and with these protestants, they sent a circle to them to authenticate these protests for their better faith.
