Letter from Suffragan Zachariasz Nowoszycki to scribe Wojciech Zimnicki regarding the Archbishop's entry

[P. 2] + My Most Gracious Lord Lviv Scribe! His Grace the Archbishop, our Gracious Lord and Benefactor, arrived in Lviv recently, yesterday, on St. Michael's Day. From Friday to Saturday, heavy rain fell from midnight until morning; we were very worried about the weather, but it cleared up soon after daybreak. He was traveling from Zimna Woda. The Honorable Councilors welcomed him in the field, as did the Honorable Noblemen. The whole city, as well as the Armenians, received him. His Grace is, for the most part, very pleased. He stepped out of the carriage at St. Mary's, where, having donned his pontifical vestments, he walked to the cathedral, welcomed [...] by His Grace Fr. Staniszowski with the due applause, finally completing it with hymns. To the residence [...] he welcomed everyone, including foreign guests. On Sunday, he celebrated a pontifical mass and again entertained those same guests; also on Monday, and on Thursday the canons of the chapter. With great abundance. On Sunday, the Honorable Councilors, jurors, and about forty men left very satisfied and filled with wine. On Tuesday, he [hosted] the Armenians with the same abundance and great willingness. Having performed these ceremonies, now returning, His Grace is overseeing the residence and has noticed several defects. The windows, when they open, are [...] hanging long [...]. Regarding the floor in the dining room, he says that the work done was very coarse, and he ordered another to be made. The stone floor here crumbles very much, but he found a way: they want to pour tallow over the whole thing, and then there will be marbles. As they could, so [...] regarding the layers, until they are laid. It has even come to the point that Fr. Łubieniecki and others asked His Grace Fr. Staniszowski for the altar [funds] for Kodfin, which greatly troubled His Grace Fr. Staniszowski, for he never thought about it and does not think about it. He also complained about me, as if I were inciting the chapter against him in the matter of the archdeaconry; and yet everything [was handed over] to the archdeacon without anyone's objection. I do not understand why he harbors such resentment toward me, Sir... N. 9 [P. 3] + I say, however, that it is a good thing that he is absent from the place, when the Potolickis [...] there [...] through completely free access to [...] the other side, and thus I suppressed the wicked tongues. [...] in wines great damage. I am not looking at anything now, perhaps only after the Sejm. I ask Your Grace, buy me a roll of Indian cloth in Warsaw, for it is cheaper than in Lviv. That you might live in Krzysztofek's residence there at His Grace's, and bought peasant [cloth] [...] sent? [...] sent[?]. I commend myself to the grace of Your Grace, my Gracious Lord. Given in Lviv on the 12th of October, 1635. His Grace's Lady Wife [...] is ill, she has been lying down for several days and suffers all the more, but she will rise when the debt is settled[?]. Your Grace's, my Gracious Lord's, kindly well-wishing friend and servant, Father Zachariasz Nowoszycki, Bishop [...], Suffragan of Lviv. He heard letters from Grudziądz from neighbors: a sermon on Sunday, after Sunday I received [letters] from the same Grudziądz, and also to His Grace the Mayor.

[S. 2] + Mnie wiele M[ościw]y Panie Pisarzu Lwowski. J[ego] M[ość] X[iądz] Arcybiskup nasz Mał[y] Pan y Dobrodziy, niedawno dnia wczorayszego do Lwowa, wdzie[ń] S. Michała; z piątku na sobotę deszcz duży od pułnocy aż na dedniem przyszedł, lękaliśmy się byli barzo o pogodę, ale się wnet potym dnia wyjaśniło. Z Zimny[ch] Wod wyeżdżał. Jch Mść PP. Consulares w polu witali, także Jch Mść PP. Szlachta. Ono całe miasto, iako y Ormianie exceperunt. J[ego] Mść plerique iest barzo content; zsiadł z karety do Panny Maryey, tam się ubrawszy pontificali[bus] szedł do Cathedry, salutando a V. Cząst[ce?] przez Jmci X. Staniszowskiego cum suum applausum, tandem explens carmine his. Do Kamienice ład? omnes excepit, exteros hospites. W niedzielę zaś Pontificavit, y znowu tełżegości częstował; y przez poniedziałek, a we czwartek Capitulant. Wielkim dostatkiem. W niedzielę Jch Mściow PP. Radziei, Scabinow y ex 40 viris, barzo contenti y vino impleti recesserunt. We wtorek Ormianow: tymże dostatkiem, y t[a]k z ochoty. To wieść odprawiwszy, teraz wracaiąc Jch Mść, wgląda w Kamienicę, defe- ctow kilka upatrzył; Okna iako sie odwieraią tedy na stoi miotą gęstkowe a wiszelne długie na tey stoi. Posadzka w stołowey Jzbie powiada ze barzo grwba robota zrobiona, kazał inszą robić; Posadka kamienna tu barzo kruszy; ale sposob nalazł, wszytkym łoiem polać cą, a potym będą marmory. Jako mogli tak Jaksznicy tkani, względem połaci aż sie wy- gadaią. Juz y do tego przyszło, ze o Oftałowo, X. Łubieniecki y Jenszy dla Kodfina na Jmx Staniszowskiego prosili, o co sie Jmx Staniszowski barzo frasunk, bo o tym nigdy niemyslił y niemysli. Skarżył tez na mnie, izobym ia przeciwko niemu Capitula publikował, o Archidiaconii; aze wszytko Archidiacono nullo contradicente; niemam iako to stroni w sobie na mnie Panie N. 9 [S. 3] + Dico autem dobrze sie stało, ze iest niebyt na mieyscu; kiedy Potoliccy [?] tam zstary; per liberrimum accessum do V. So drugie stronie, et sic coradem lingud. iniquas. Kraiowiu prezy hazard; w winach wielka szkoda. Już ia sie wpół niepo- zieram chyba po Seymie. Proszę Jm kup mi sukna lalkę Indyyską w Warszawie, bo taniey, nizelim we Lwowie. Zebyś do Krzysztofka Kamienicę tam J[ego] M[oś]ci mięszkał, a włościański kupił kichać posyłać? Panie Zogziewałz Franz? wysyłał[?]. Oddaię się przytym do łaski W[aszej] M[ości] M[ego] M[ościwego] Pana. Datt[um] we Lwowie d[nia] 12 Octobris 1635. J[ego] M[ość] Pani Małżonka wsd[?] chora, kilka dni jush lezy; a tym bardziey sie porusza, ale wstanie gdy postanowienie debitati na niey nastąpi[?]. W[aszej] M[ości] M[ego] M[ościwego] Pana Uprzeymie życzliwy Przyiaciel y Sługa X. Zachariash Nowoszycki B[iskup] [Nikopoliński?]/L[wowski] Suffr[agan] Listy z Grudziądza od sąsiadomvich zasłyszał: w niedzielę kazanie po niedzieli z tychże Grudziądza dostałem a do Jmści Burmistrza. [S. 4, adres:] J[ego] M[ości] Panu Wielce M[ści]wemu Panu y Przyjacielowi J[ego] M[ość] Panu Woyciechowi Zimnickiemu, Pisarzowi Mieyskiemu Lwowskiemu należy. Od J. M. X. Suffragana Lwowskiego.
