Translation / modern text

[P. 2] Their Graces, the Most Noble Councilors of Lviv, My Gracious Lords and Friends! Justice must accompany every service. Since there is a need for it in the army [...], there are several men from our regiment sentenced to death. And since we cannot obtain an executioner from anywhere else who would carry out the execution on the condemned according to the issued verdict, I humbly beseech Your Graces, my Lords – may I have enough trust in Your Graces to obtain this – that you entrust the executioner to me for a short time. After the execution, I will send him back immediately without delay. And now, Your Graces' man will at once [...] my every kindness, and compensation to Your Graces, for I maintain [this] in service, and now I commend myself to the friendship, grace, and kindness of Your Graces. In the camp near Świrz, the 7th day of August, 1662. Your Graces' humble servant and friend, Your Graces' servant Mikołaj Karmeński, military judge, signed by his own hand [P. 3, address:] To my Most Gracious Lords and Friends, Their Graces the Councilors of His Royal Majesty's City of Lviv, etc. To be delivered to Their Graces in Lviv.
