Translation / modern text

[P. 2] Most Noble Mr. Hajder! Yesterday morning [...] I spoke with the Chancellor, with whom I am already on good terms, but he must shrink, I am so cramped in the company, not without cost and significant guests who are staying here at [...], the aforementioned has already subsided a little. And the bottles from Your Grace are being dispensed [...] subsided a little. But there is not a shadow of a favor from this. The Sejm, they say, is only just beginning, the Prince's case will supposedly go to court. However, the sick ones were tossing and turning, and specifically from Kamień(?) supposedly. So out of love, he will send less involuntarily and the decree will have to go to the government(?), so that I may know [...]; the deputies are full of quarrels [...]. The Field Hetman of Lithuania, Prince Janusz, ordered in the field [...] a fixed time regarding those Cossacks; only supposedly he will fall from this Sejm, be it like a strap, and a peremptory mandate is going to court on the mentioned date, but he has great backing. [F. 63(a)]
