Part 20

They wanted to be a reason for our help, bearing in mind the vicissitudinenl rerum humanarum, that God save us in times of cold, and they tried to defend us, and the calamitas did not turn to them, because with our grief and our voivodeships, which recently flourished in such deep peace, are torn to pieces. So we commission Mr. to our deputies to seek our most conscientious defense and in the most humane ways possible to ensure that the security of the remnants of our countries is effectively fortified. And so that these subsidia, which will be decided at the disposal of our counties, should be assigned to stewards and collectors at each tribunal, both in Piotrków and Lublin, if they were in officio suo in this negligentes and do not take this money to the treasurer and pp. commissioners from the adjacent parliamentary circle, because we wish that for better and quicker order, both the treasurer and the commissioners will reside in a certain and early place while these taxes are deposited with them. Somehow we are closer in the Turkish [neck] to this Cossack frolic and to such an envoy, Mr. Kielczenskiego J. kr. We see this well in the face of disrespect and detention, and therefore we wish that with other methods of ad terrorem of this paganism, a proper early sine divisione would be established in accordance with the old laws and statutes. 3. We also see the need for ad danda belli consilia, as it already happened on the Moscow Royal Mother's and the Khotyn expedition, the script should be in the private hand of the priest. the Archbishop of Gniezno, as primate, and the marshal of the parliamentary circle signed, one copy of which remained in the archivo regio and the other copy with the lAIci of Fr. Archbishop, so that in this script the number and order of the army as well as the apparatus belli are described and sworn commissioners are appointed from the deputies' circle, who, together with the Treasurer of the Crown, will supervise de impensis belli and the rationale of all this Reipublicae at the next Sejm. For the hetman's commissioners to be useful, we do not believe that it would be ex re Reipublicae, because in every free republic, as was the case in the Greek and Roman ones, the military government was under the hetman himself, as under one head. 4. So great J. kr. His injustice and the loss of the hereditary state, which he deigned to give up for us, cannot be a mute to us. J. kr. It is a pitiful and disgraceful loss to the subjects, but Livonia is the loss of almost all of them, drenched in such generous blood from us, it is supposed to be a great conscientious and just loss among us. This applies to us and our obligation against J. kr. The Lord, who deigns to reign here so happily, draws out our honor and the examples of our ancestors, [so that] we can take up the injustice of J. kr. He, who often took over his own state and often took over his head in various dangers for the entirety of our homeland, and here he deigned to wait for us in great works and hardships in these years, which we wish the most. Spes et fortuna of the Most Serene King is a great value in our country. For the descendants and holy blood of our noble lords, we entrust Mr. to our envoys, that they should break down with the other provinces in this matter and apply their consilia to the general consent of all, not wanting to remain from everyone's kindness and even against their master, but in such a way that the defense of our countries would first be achieved. 5. Cossack playfulness, what danger does the Reipublicae bring with it, do we expect it to be good if we go to war? pcgany did not come, we wish that they would be trained in a powerful commission and in a tame and good government, and if the Respublica wanted to have its events with the pagan, we wish that they would be happy to participate in this war. 6. The Lisowczyks, dolendum nomen in our homeland, that they dispersed from their flocks and betrayed their elders and showed mercy to J. kj. The Mci and the Reipublicae are begging so that the Cossacks and Thalers do not have more troops, as the infames know how to do, we do not want them not to be in the favor of J. kr. Mci, among others, and restored to honor; however, in eternal memory et in horrorem posteritatis, so that significant paena is decided on them, this is to be observed by Messrs. afterword. If the Respublica ordered some quarters to serve for free, we do not wish that they would be brought to the camp in a bunch of banners, but that they would sign up under various banners and their names would have many ex actis in front of the field writer.
