[P. 4]
[top right:] 2
For all this, a consultation is needed, not only of Their Graces from among the subjects of the magistrate, but of the entire community, for this does not belong to [...]. Today is a great Ruthenian and Latin holiday, [...] a consultation cannot be held, unless on Saturday. Michał Łuszczyński, by his own hand.
It seems that the Roman saying will prove true in our city: While Rome deliberates, Saguntum falls. It will be too late to deliberate when sudden necessity is already at our throats, by the certain fate of our city. Seeking any [kind of] help, I would urge you, My Lords, in such an ultimate necessity, to have gathered at the town hall since yesterday evening [...], regardless of the holy day, and to quickly undertake an effective way of saving both the city and your patrimony. Salvation is more important than the court. Jan Obrocki, Lviv councilor, by his own hand.
What concerns everyone should come to the knowledge of everyone. And so, having found the entry of His Grace the Commandant, as well as the commission with the army of the Republic regarding public intentions belonging beyond public consultation, it would be necessary to ask Their Graces the captains, commissioners [...] to grant a delay either for today or until [...] Saturday, so that all our Graces may appear for the consultation, as so many people participate in this act. Jan Józef Wójcicki, by his own hand.
