1. Stanisław Golski of the Russian lands, voivode of Bar, starosta. However, I understand that to this day it is known to all of us what progress was made at this past Sejm in bringing about our rights and freedoms by all the estates and with what willingness and ardent readiness of the King and our Lord to do enough for our requests and postulates, so that, having given us the reins, he deigned to give us all the time of the Sejm for this purpose, so that we could also make laws and defects in them, if any, they corrected them, and what was needed to calm down the present Republic of Poland, they did, offering and declaring that they would do everything we could to help us in a beneficial and favorable manner to our rights and freedoms and to the whole of the Republic of Poland in toto - and their Lordship gathered together for six whole Sundays. senators with the parliamentary circles of both nations, abolishing the articles of the Wiślicki and Sędomir congresses, the constitutions needed by many people were agreed, without acclamation, without oppression, with good thought and consideration, with the consent of all. And above all, the practices and absoluto dominio were sufficient and strong, and what caused the greatest fear in people and was the cause of these mixtures was taken care of. Election, which is the foundation of our freedoms, is confirmed. The reign of the king IMci is legally described and expressed as necessary. In order to put an end to these mixtures as well as the inner zeal for discord and fundamentalis toUere, people who were sure to endure and calm the minds of different people were marked by the fact that they also made treaties with those who came from the army to the Sejm, and now only a mile away from the king, Mr. N, to whom I had to give way for the fire from Warsaw, the cannons were there as needed, they wanted to use them, and they were given so by their Lordship. front senators as well as deputies to meet on occasions. 2. But this did not happen with them, indeed, since the time of the Sejm was expiring and facultas was given to designated persons, they were not content with the conclusion of the Sejm, against which there were no protests, or with the lord's satisfaction and freedom, which all estates recognized and accepted, without us, the free Republic, enjoying equal and equal freedom, obedience to the king of the Lord. the crowned one disorderly, they declared against our laws and so they authoritatem extraordinariam, infringing on the freedom and rights of the WMci, they appropriated to themselves some universals which free people blamed on the WMci, they sent them to their decree, and having deposed the lord whose writings you always spoke about WMci and his lords you poured your blood on, insulting the state of the nation Ours, having failed to keep their oaths, they proceed to choose another by violence without us. And so, having arranged for themselves to be detained and a pretext for seeking freedom, they want to put faith in their master, and want to break and spoil our freedom and rights by force, and they do it themselves, without proving what they put on you. Therefore, you should advise them about their freedoms, standing next to the dignity of their crowned lord, to whom violence has happened and is happening to them as well, as WMcie, more broadly, from the universals of the king IMci ^) you deign to know and strive for your safety.
