and the rape which many of our brothers, noblemen, citizens of the Przemyśl land, suffered from the army of several thousand people of the voivode of Transylvania *) in these days just past, if we do not know yet, thanks to his information and orders or not, we do know from Mr. We will send our envoys to him, the churches and manors of the nobility have been selected and plundered, both the nobility and the common people have been beaten and wounded, the honest and noble white people have been insulted, crops, cattle, herds have been taken away and everything that could only be done by a malicious and venomous enemy they did violently and disgracefully, and having done the custom of robbers, they fled and left, Therefore, the pact that the Crown has had for a long time with the land of Transylvania, and the own assurances of the same voivode of Transylvania to the king of the Lord and some of their relatives. senators to keep in the absence of J. kr. Those of peace made with the Crown are given, violated and moved, with our great regret and those of our brothers with inconsolable harm and pain^). 3. Therefore, in order that in the presence of us as good fathers and in the homeland of our kingdom so famous, no dedecus or ignominia remains, as much as from such light people, we all take it pro publica et communi iniuria nostra et totius Reipublicae nostrae and wherever it is said to our brothers and each of them individually, and first J. kr. There will not be enough support for this message of our Lord and the entire Republic of Poland, and those who are guilty will not be punished for their health with sufficient compensation for damage, so we and each of us, de personis nostris, vow and promise this to ourselves mutuo et inyicem sub fide honore et conscientiis nostris our health and wealth, so that These brothers of ours have achieved justice and each of them has achieved satisfaction, as well as the Crown. 3. And even if they do not succeed or delay, we all, with the undoubted hope of our brothers from other lands and voivodeships for common rescue and viribus nostris et animis mutuis, are so close to their families that as long as we can afford it, we want to take revenge on them, not on the health and property of all of them. we will stop. 4.

However, we are not supposed to harm anyone by transporting and living with our post offices and, in fact, everyone is supposed to be happy with their home expedition without harming anyone. 6.
