However, the name of the Lisowcików is to be proscriptum and whoever is to be called by such a name is ipso facto stipulated by pp. our afterword. 6. Our brothers and the Zaporowski Cossacks do not forget that they showed up for this war and the service of the Reipublicae; they approve of this desire, but since the old custom has outgrown the proportions of their bodies and, having taken on larger numbers than was decided with them at previous commissions, they are causing great trouble to the starostas and citizens of the Kiev and Bratslav voivodeships, they are attacking the nobility, our brothers, their wives, children, they are disposing of their property unbecomingly, and what is more terrible is is, churches and which belong to the stewards of the Republic and the king of them, they dispose ad libitum, they undertake patrocinium religionis, they will not give up on plowing, they will abolish the pp. MPs from the voivodeship will persuade everyone not to send these beginnings into greater progress and not to employ the Republic of Poland. 7. It is also right to thank Her Majesty the Queen for this, that out of her benevolent nature, looking at the past difficult times of the Republic, in which the querels of the nobility and other needs of the Republic could not be addressed, she promises to measure and soothe all this at the present Sejm. Having then thanked Mr. Our deputies will remember the people of the Greek religion first and foremost, and, bearing in mind their frequent requests and intercessions at our congresses, for effective calm at this Sejm in accordance with the constitution of Anni 1607, J.

Let us ask you to give us any hope for better times. our envoys J. kr. Mci, in quantum humanae patiuntur rationes, so that with pp. he sought hisce extraneis bellis with his advice, he won the Tatars with ordinary gifts, he obtained the peace agreed upon for the Turks by detaining the Cossacks and defending the sea, he kept Moscow with ordinary commissions, doing immediate justice, he kept the border ordinario praesidio and guarded it sensitively. 9. We don't know about the Livonian war, so despite having good subsidies, we entrust Mr. envoys to find out what happened that this provision, which our country paid so much for and the blood of our brothers, came under enemy control with our great regret. Nevertheless, they will ask Mr. envoys of the king of IMci, if there is still a supersunt of the media of rescuing and recuperating this noble province, to eat them, relieving the poverty and destruction of the crown, in which only half of the taxes due to the enemy's destruction have been lost. 10. If this impulse for war cannot be contained by treaties and suspensione armorum, we go to pp. to our deputies to allow others to pay taxes from the voivodeships, which if they allow only one collection, we also allow one, if the voivodeships allow more collections and we, as the destroyed ones, we allow half of it for our deputies, but only that J. kr. He provided security for our countries and entrusted his hetmans with the sedulam curam of our borderland, and then he planned a guard for all kinds of warnings in Sniatyn and ordered the place to be fortified there. 11. No less is the cause of our poverty the confusion and increase in the price of money, which not only has made incertam possessionem rerum nostrarum universally and has made human contracts more difficult, but also the very defect of small coins of groszes and shillings, already ad extremam famem and the shedding of the blood of innocent people of many different kinds.
