To everyone who needs to know this, namely to the most reverend, reverend, dignitaries, officials, starostas, tenants and all the knights and citizens of the voivodeship of the Russian lands who are kindly and faithfully dear to us. We announce that in the recent past, at the insistent request of the citizens of the Lviv Land, we allowed a separate assembly of the same land, in order to accelerate the payment of taxes to the crown treasury for the effective satisfaction of our troops, that the second Ruthenian Voivodeship lands, i.e. Przemyśl and Sanok, which coniunctim with the Lviv Land in Wisznia sejmiks to celebrate the ordinary, they considered themselves pro iniuria hanc separationem Lviv land, fearing that hoc exemplo the land would not want to hold a seorsive assembly in posterum, but, on the other hand, wishing that morę et instituto veteri in place by law established both with the Lviv land in unum conferre consilia their own and, moreover, with the dignitate of the Rue Voivodeship and integritatem retinere, they suggested to us through their envoys that we preserve them in this circa usum et morem antiquum along with the Lviv land, not allowing it any seorsivation. 2. Then we, as from the beginning of our reign union et concordiam ciTium pro perpetuo, took for ourselves an instituto not wishing that this momentous dismembrance of these three lands and then the motus in republica would have causari, according to the opinion of pp. We considered our councils at our side to be right at that time, so that we would allow all three lands of another regional assembly in an ordinary place, so that the Lviv land could also repeat the same in communicatis consiliis with the other lands and strengthen its Lviv sanctum even more strongly, and these other lands could mutually adinvenire media, with which they could serve the treasury of the Republic of Poland in tam praegnanti necessitate could be paid, we therefore kindly and faithfully submit to the assembly at the usual place in Wisnia pro die XXVI of the month of Octobra, requesting politely and faithfully to us that you come there on the appointed day early to apply your mutuis animis to this vota et consilia, so that you can also apply the necessitati succurere of the Republic of Poland to your voivodeship they retained their integrity at all. In order to get all the information as quickly as possible, we order the municipal offices of the Russian Voivodeship to publish it on the spot, and for better credibility, we ordered the crown seal to be affixed to the signature of our hand. Given in Lviv on IX. the month of October, in the year of our Lord MDCLXII, of our Polish and Swedish reign, in the fifteenth year. John Casimir the king.
