Translation / modern text

[P. 2] My Gracious Lords, Councilors of Lviv, My Gracious Lords and Friends! Being requested by the distressed Lviv prisoners, Białkowski and his wife (who has long endured the burden of imprisonment), I submit a petition to Your Graces, humbly begging that Your Graces, considering her feminine weakness, might deign to show her consideration and in no way [...] beyond law and custom add to the burdens of her imprisonment, but rather, having released them on bail – so that the complaining party may be satisfied in some way – order that during this imprisonment they strive to fully [...] satisfy her. As for the claims I had against them regarding my subject, I forgive them and [...] I do not order the least [...] in them. For the wrongdoer has already suffered the due punishment for that of which they are also accused. By acting thus, My Gracious Lords, you will do me the greatest favor and bind me to every mutual service. And now, commending my goodwill, I remain Your Graces, My Lords' well-wishing friend and humble servant, Anna Potocka, Voivodess of Kraków, Grand Hetmaness of the Crown, by my own hand. Given in Podhajce, on the 8th day of September 1669. [P. 3, address:] To be delivered into the own hands of Their Graces, the Lords Councilors of Lviv.
