safety, and almost already on our necks of our following enemies, because not only is the pagan, about whom we now have news, in the first attempt, taking countless brothers into captivity without any defense, destroying their property and wealth, and has left us on the border, behind whose turn, God forbid, we see danger in our homes, but also a second and closer danger the danger of our land, about which we are aware that not a small number of Sabbats, where the Turks from Skonie and the Gypsies were to be a stronghold, are trying to reach our land, and therefore also other crown states, and are flocking to them a few miles from our borders, so it is only in the recent decline of the health of our homes and our wealth that we, like our homelands, have decided to find the fastest way possible under such great danger. defense, which could provide some support to the enemies who are so severe and violently attacking us and our homeland, and seeing no other way, we have to move from our houses, trying to ensure that we, together with our houses and subjects whom we have to defend, will not be sent to the last destruction, for which we have appointed a time to present ourselves at Sanok, as usual, on the fourth day of Septembra. With which movement we would like to be in the middle of our brotherly provinces, but when there is danger at home, we have to take care of ourselves and take care of the danger at home. Therefore, when we show ourselves in this way, we will immediately bring one draft with us and give it, if J. kr. My Lord, from the goods of his table, issue orders and their Lord. the clergy will simply deliver into their hands Mr. Paweł Dydenski for that time, our chosen collector, who will be stewarded of our land shown in that square there, according to the needs. 2. And since we have doubts about our strength to meet such a fierce enemy, seeing no reinforcements from anywhere else, we come to J. kr. As our lord and head, he sends his envoys with humble requests to J. Kr. Our merciful Lord, thinking about us, our troubled homeland, entrusted to him by God, did not let perish. Moreover, Mr. our envoys, humility J. kr. They are to ask that this collection be given to the tenants of the estates of His Majesty the King. He deigned to issue an order immediately and a letter to J. kr. The Bishop of Przemyśl deigned to grant that it could also be spent from clergy's estates in the usual way in our district. 3. And fearing that a great danger might come to our land at the time of our manifestation, we first thanked them, Mr. Sanok, for his simple love for our homeland and for us, he supports it with his tenderness and rescue, and at the same time we ask that with the message, God forbid, the enemy in our countries, send us his universities and mark a place, and We, in noble words, promise to act according to our readiness to save our health and wealth. 4. Our envoys, J. kr. Mci p. n. m., to J. kr. He deigned to send his letters to the tenants of those estates of his royal table, the lease of which had ever belonged to the Sanok castle, so that, pro hac vice, upon the Lord of Sanok's notice to them, if there was a dungeon necessitas at that time, they would immediately come to the Sanok castle to defend themselves and then J. kr. We should consider ensuring the castle's defense so that there are no more ruins, bearing in mind that this castle is the last refuge of our land and the rights and privileges of our estate are preserved there. And with this present decision, consistent with our decision to J. kr. We are sending, from the center of the circle, our elected envoy, Mr. Andrzej Ustrzycki, who, according to a separate instruction given to us, gave us this consent and a petition under our name, J. kr.
