Translation / modern text

[P. 2] Most Noble Sir, Dear Benefactor! Leaving Lviv, and returning, God willing, on the feast of St. John of Dukla, I request that you show me your consent so that you may wish to conclude, with all justice upon my arrival, the matter concerning the land, having in your conscience a zeal for justice, as well as in your upright heart a love for the public good of the inner city. This is the time for the Economes to seek petitory rights, if there are any. So, one way or another, suffice it to say that I am a man of compromise and I shall be an example for other recalcitrant ones. I especially request that peace prevail among the people subject to the jurisdiction of [...] and those dependent, for words also wound more than eyes. As I write this, I express my consent; after such a declaration, whatever contrary might befall me would be an act of violence. A word to the wise is sufficient. I commit myself to the friendship of Your Grace, My Lord Benefactor's true and humble servant Fr. K. Cieszkowski On the 26th of June, 1763 from Lviv, before departure [P. 3, address:] To the Noble and Distinguished Mr. Eliaszewicz, Proconsul of the Royal and Metropolitan City of Lviv, Most Venerable Patron, in Lviv.
