And they are obliged to pay the dues of measures, commonly called żołnierszczyzna, on an equal footing with other holders of these hides in Kleparów, without any objection and according to the size of their field shares, each of them, of whatever status and condition they may be, in perpetuity. With the preservation of our royal rights, those of the Commonwealth, and the Catholic Church. In witness whereof, this [letter] signed by our hand has been ordered to be strengthened with the royal seal. Given in Lwów on the 26th day of October in the Year of Our Lord 1634, the second year of our reign in Poland and the third in Sweden.
