Part 11

1. We, the clerical and secular councils and all the knights who came together during the earthly years of Lviv, judged by Saint John, and at that time married with persuasion in the affairs of the Republic of Poland needed among themselves, first seeing what danger the Republic of Poland was in, both from domestic mixtures and from outside enemies, we understood that it was a more desirable thing to marry them. The Russian Voivode (Russian Voivode) deigned to send universals to the towns of our voivodeship, and as soon as possible he submitted a general congress to the IMć. the voivode of Podolia') and Bełżec sent him [and] announced this, asking them to use their universals. They deigned to call our brothers for this time and place to jointly save our Polish homeland according to the ancient relationships and examples of our ancestors and ourselves. Which the Russian voivode gladly did and immediately deigned to send universals and promised to appear among us himself. Therefore, we also received the request from the voivode of Belz, who also deigned to be with us, as well as from the citizens of the Belz voivodeship, good people who communicated with us, and we also received the desire from the omni, Mr. Kamieniec *), who was very willing to go to the IMci, the voivode of Podolia, and communicate with IMci, so that I could also join them. He deigned to appear among us and sent universals to our brother, in whose desires we do not doubt that they will join us in supporting the Republic, preserving its status, and will want to stand against the enemies of the Holy Cross. To whom we sent a separate letter thanking them for this favor. 2. Knowing then that our deputies at the last Sejm were drafted to defend the Republic of Poland and a collector born to Mr. Andrzej Lahodowski, a distinguished man who has already taken an oath for his office, we also, by virtue of this congress, because we had reserved his election in the Vyshen articles, we also approve this recruitment and we promise to issue the caps as soon as possible, but with the declaration that the collector himself accepted, that he would not issue this recruitment to anyone, but would be elected at the Lviv city hall until this general congress ad trigesiraam Julia, which will later, as we all think and will be turned away from the Cross, as it is composed and adopted in defense of the Republic of Poland. 3. We also asked the voivode of Belz, the starosta of Halych, to follow our example in the Galician lands in the same way. Oh, and their husband Mr. We ask the Belz envoys to arrange for such a draft, both with themselves and with the draft, as they supported us with the Polish government. Oh, and IMć pp. Podolia Voivodeship, our brothers who were here with us, we begged and prayed for, and we ourselves said with good and virtuous words of the nobility and promised to appear at the congress pro posse suo and support the Republic with health and all our wealth as those who are good and love their homeland should. We do not doubt the willingness and love of others. our brothers, according to the proclamation of the universal, they will help us, Mr. Russian Voivode, and taking this desire for good, they will not allow us to perish in such harmful mixtures of the Republic of Poland and, being free, to be reduced to enslavement. 4. We also sent to the king, having learned that foreign troops have been brought into the Crown and are moving around the crown states under the banner, asking him to please, as our lord and head, without whose will and knowledge this cannot happen. So after this undertaking of ours, we let the king know IMci and these meetings without the will of J. kr. This is what we must do, from whose advice we demand not only the consensus but also the humility of asking. 5. And this is ours
