Seeing the considerable oppression and the visible and harmful events that lead to the evil sequoia, we decided that we could not allow those deputies chosen by such a process, which we supported not because of the stubbornness or practice that was done to employ the affairs of the Republic of Poland, but because it was the right thing to do. 3. First of all, we showed a significant agreement on sheets of paper and in writing against one of these envoys in facie omnium, written in his handwriting, where he asked one person to be appointed by those he had brought with him for this purpose, and he also ordered him to be appointed by himself. Then, important noblemen also testified that they had been asked to do the same. 4. So noblemen, unknown to us, who had never attended the regional council, and who had no residence in the Lviv region, nominated Lviv deputies; in addition, the mayors, village heads, who are the servile officium, and Mr. Czechowski's ") appointed a senator and appointed their lord, who in senatorio ordine has his own duty, and according to the law he is entitled to elect land envoys, but he cannot be an envoy from us contradicentibus nobis, because it is not difficult for the great lords, senators, and court elders to have the power and number of people, as is the case in other counties happened, but it is the illos afficere that matters to me, not us, and I assume that they will do it to you in the same way. When, finally, we were unable to dissuade Mr. Czechowski from his undertaking, and we saw that he was not willing to withdraw from the embassy by circa pluralitat, a bad example and an act that led to the destruction of our freedoms by the oppression of good and free people, and we asked all the citizens of the Lviv region with unanimous requests not to make an example of this bad custom for themselves, but he was not the author of persuading the law about this, he didn't attack, he didn't tear, but rather he himself nominated whichever nobleman he wanted from the land of Lviv, we were ready to fall for him. 5. What if we did not succeed, fearing later that we would be trafficked and that our younger brothers would not bargain for money, above all, we had to come to the support of such a willingness to serve the Republic of Poland, we made our protest a solemn protest, we did not publish the appointed deputies, and we did not want and could not allow the elected ones in ista confusione et inordinata electione, 6. This was our rape to J. Cr. We sent Mr. mci away, asking J kr. He is asking for another assembly to elect only the deputies, allowing for all the articles, namely agreeing with the king's proposal, we thank them as our lord, and we thank God's anointed one for thinking about us and our Republic, and then to them. to the hetmans^) and knights to give public thanks to all, whose work is the glory and actions of the crown, and the happiness of J. kr. This enemy has not received any consolation, the land of Wallachia is retained, and matters related to the crown enemies, pagans and Christians, are stopped until the finalization and conclusion of the league, as agreed at the last assembly. And we ask for sufficient defense of our countries, and we allow the recruitment of other voivodeships equally, because we are periculis magnis expositi. We give the deputies the right to retain the Wallachian land, as well as the pact with the pagans, the abolition of the Cossack will, and the full persuasion regarding the Sejm's resolutions in the MCC, and we ask that this be concluded first with other matters of the Sejm, despite our proposal and our dangers, without impeding it. And if they want to hinder these things in any other way, or if any of these things are passed over, we will decide that we will neither allow nor permit any of these things. Therefore, at the beginning of the Sejm, we sent our report through our envoys, Mr. Jakób Leśniowski, the cup-bearer, and Jan Szwoszowski, the writer of the Lviv lands, without any opposition, as we had chosen at the previous Wisła sejmik, and we will not allow ourselves and our freedom to be violated, trusting that they will also withdraw their nomination and will not hinder us and our deputies in further actions. they will.
