Part 27

1. We councils, dignitaries, officials and knights, citizens of the Ruthenian Voivodeship, gathered at the sejmik pro die quarta Septembris in Wiśnia, elected from among ourselves by Their Majesty, Mr. MPs ours for the Sejm pro die 16 Octobris by J. kr. Mć in Warsaw submitted to IMci Mr. Stanisław łJoniface from Wielkie Kończyce Mniszek, mayor of Lviv, IM(^ Mr. Mikołaj Count from Oslrorog, starosta of Drohowy from Lviv Land: IMć Mr. Franciszka Mniszek, starosta of Sanok, IMć Mr. Alexander Przedwojowski, deputy judge of Przemyśl from Przemyśl Land; IMó Mr. Jan Leszczyński, deputy judge of Sanok, and Mr. Jan Adam from Zmigrod Stadnicki from the Sanok region, who, while recommending our services and giving their faithful subordination, wish to congratulate His Majesty for his good health and happy rule over the lands which, by God's will, have been entrusted to us with immortal fame. Mr. Mci, that Mr. Mr. Kr. has kindly requested that Mr. Mr. Kr. have the rights and freedoms that were withdrawn from his clubs during these exorbitancies at the Sejm, and that Mr. Kr. he deigned to bring it. What will happen next is that Felicius cedenl all the councils and consultations of the Sejm, which took up a lot of time during the Sejms, and all the coalesce and eternal confidentiality between the lord and his subjects against the holy descendants of His Holiness the King. There will be gratitude in the hearts of the faithful subjects. 2. De modo electionis. It was a terrible thing for the citizens of our voivodeship to listen to this point de modo liberae electionis, not only to engage in consultations about it, because they know that this point is the basis et fundamentalum of almost all our freedoms, they were afraid that in praeiudicium our old rights and freedoms, so sharply described and sacrosancte fortified, would not be subject to this de modo liberae electionis consultation It happened, it was a shame that not all of those who remembered such voces at the Toruń Sejm or nulla occasione data, from the sejmik's articles, had the courage to think well at the time of de eligendo rege, therefore, such boldness of some people who, against such strict laws that forbid not only talking but also thinking about it, dared to bring it in the medium at that time, there in the same Sejm communi consensu condemnavit. However, if only we had it in the instructions of J. kr. Mci p. n. m., and being sure that this point de modo liberae electionis sine consilio Ich Mciów pp. senators of our older brothers could not be proposed to us, we entrust it to Messrs. to our deputies, so that, having only understood that there were such methods as electionis liberae consulacjae and without making any conclusions in fem, they would bring us the pre-sejm sejmiks, solenissime in this matter in facie totius Keipublicae, protesting that the person of J. kr. Jlci et aequissima eius dominatione we are very pleased and pray to God for long happy years J. kr. He wants to rule, nothing against the rights and dignity of His Majesty the King. It was true that we neither want nor can think about this matter. 3. Długi Rzptej. However, after so many and such large taxes, we understood that there would be enough money to pay the soldier, but J. kr. Mr. m. n. reminds, also Mr. Mr. m. p. the commissioners showed us such a large fiscal defectus that not only the taxes approved at the last Sejm were not enough to pay the army, but also had to increase significantly, in addition, the debt of the city of Gdańsk and the foreign army, which we received in subsidium to Prussia, would also have to pay a restat, so it was also a certain debt, considering that the Ukrainian army had already served one quarter per month, having served until the end of the payment in the service of Borg. must, we entrust it to pp. For our deputies, in order to properly account for the treasury, there would still be a lot left over from both the private and tentative retrenchment adopted at the last Sejm, and also from the taxes set, a corradere could be used to pay off these debts with the consent of all the voivodeships, first of all the Jewish poll tax, and evecta, and the guilty tents would also be allowed. But taking into account the number of these debts and, at the same time, the necessity of a quick solution for the army, especially the Ukrainian one, not to contract per moram solutionis into further debts of the Polish Republic, although the law at the last Sejm strictly stipulated that the tenancy should not be tenanted, but not seeing how such a significant amount could be thought out so quickly for the elimination of the homeland from such great difficulties. let's allow for the tenancy of the tenant, next year with a bonum Reipublicae as our supremacy, not seeing any particular harm to the Republic of Poland from this, when from the annual registers of the journal, excluding the siimina which Mr. the collectors chose to rent out proportionaliter will. There may also be an auction of this measure, when the vodka spigots, which only give to those who burn vodka, decide also on those who burn it; It seems unfair that the person who takes only four groszy for a quart of vodka should be given the spigot, while the one who burns it and seasoned it with something and sells it for a zloty quart should be preferred to him. But if the sufficiens summa could not be collected from all the above-mentioned taxes to pay the debts, committimus to fidei Ich Mć pp. our MPs, so that, by agreeing to the consent of other voivodeships, the draft of one fian, or at least two, would allow the Hzplta tandem to free itself from these burdens and debts and, after such heavy losses, respire whenever it could. 4. De mihte stipendiario. That militem stipendiarum, especially of our nation, was neither as much as the Polish Republic could have had in past wars, as much as it wanted to incur, and the greater part of this is that inopes et vagi only enlist, nor ea modestia then agunt, as bene disciplinatis militibus belongs, whence the great burdens on poor people and securilas Reipublicae periclilatur, we entrust to pp. our deputies to ask the King of the People's Republic for a separate Sejm sine solennitatibus, at which the rationes and axes belli gerendi were persuaded and in place of militis stipendiarii another method of disciplinae mihtaris was adopted, taking into account especially the instans periculum from paganism, the close expiration of the induciarum with Moscow and Gustavus not to be long and not very long. sure peace; wishing eam felicitatem ever to our homeland, so that tempore pacis can prepare for war. 6. About the quartz army. Seeing the constant and heavy taxes exhaustam Rempublicam, and having huge debts incurred on the Republic of Poland, we would like not to contribute new ones, without which our homeland is almost ruined, therefore we do not want to raise a large army with the burden of the Republic of Poland, we leave only a quartz soldier praesidium for the defense of Ukraine. However, if a pericula maiora requirerent were needed to contribute troops to the quartz soldier, the pp. our MPs should agree to the consent of all voivodeships. 6. Foreign soldier. There were a long time ago agitated articles from the sejmik of Wisnin and other voivodeships not to enlist a foreign soldier, seeing some of the pericula of the Polish government in this as harmful, but their Meiom pp. war regiments seem to need this method of military service very much, seeing that in our Polish nation, to which bravery is innate, that ad quaevis genera armoruin they are witty and can quickly be trained, as we experienced in the Prussian expedition in the infantry of Mr. Rożnowa, as the foreigners themselves admitted, we do not want to pass on to other nations, but rather to wish our nation this exercise in military service in a foreign way, so we also entrust the bread which the foreigners, without our consent, take from us. our MPs, that it should be guaranteed by the constitution that if the Polish Republic needed such a soldier, as now Germans serving in Prussia as dragoons in Ukraine, not that not foreigners, but only people of the Polish nation would be enlisted for such service, from where the fame among the Polish nation will remain, knightly training will flourish and service in foreign countries will not go. And the Germans present in Ukraine should be taken out of there without harming anyone. 7. Approval of data security for their clients. soldiers from their Mci pp. senators and commissioners. Because pp. commissioners to pacify the army in order to be sure of the payment of their claimant, having devised in detectu aerarii publici the payment to the soldier etiam ex privatis opibus, and finally with the insurance. kr. Mci and Ich Mciów pp. They had to give the most important senators their own insurance, signing up to them a sum of money under the bet of one hundred thousand zlotys pro indemnitate for such an action of theirs, therefore they have it efTicere pp. our MPs, so that their protections are approved by the public and eliminated by fides. 8. About the Cossacks. Seeing that the Cossack frolic even after such a punishmenta) justo give him L. >) VoI. 1. m, 603.
