the greater part of the knights, in accordance with their rights, began to exercise their offices, being ready to show the justice both juristically and their actions in their own square. 3. For great and important reasons today, the protest has been made against the deputy judge and the land clerk de incompetentia iudicii eorum, not for private reasons or ex rancore, but seeing as it is a matter of common law that the two judicial offices from which the appeal is made cannot exist, ex istis rationibus, because the judge and the deputy judge have the same oath. And since the law further described says: Iudex cum subiudice per se iudicent, further: ludices capitanei ne sint, ergo subiudex et yicecapitaneus ne sint, which everyone can understand ex intentione legis et statuti, because this is what the statute says: Quia quodhbet officium habet sua negotia, which cannot be greater than from a land and municipal court, so and now it happened that under this act, today, when the years fell, both the officium was executed both in the castle and downstairs, and, without judging the querel, they signed the act in the land, limiting it to 6 p.m., to the harm and detriment of the nobility. And it would have gone like this, in sequelam, with the enslavement of all of us, which our ancestors guarded against by having one judge in the land and the other execute in the city, which violates our freedom on the persons of the present court, because one person judges us in the land and the same wants to execute us in the city. By not granting competentiam iudicii, we are being proven guilty of a lot of de nuUitate actus praesentis et de gravamine and we want to have a forum with those officials who one holds the sub-starosty and sub-judiciary office, the other holds the land and municipal authority, leaving ourselves a forum for the tribunal and siem de interpretatione legum.

I must, among other things, thank you for your kind consideration of the affairs of the Republic of Poland, and having accepted the slander from the king of IMci on the side of the Livonian route, I would like to ask you, if it was enough, both from the person of the king of IMci himself and from the person of the king of IMci, why the king of IMci deigned to take this route. 4.
