Jan Dymitr Solikowski of Sołk, by the grace of God and the Apostolic See Archbishop of the holy metropolitan Church of Lviv, together with our venerable chapter, the lords: Walenty Warzecki, Dean; Albert Perlicki, Vicar in spiritual matters and Official General; Jan Herbort, Preacher; Jan of Sarny Boratyński; Stanisław Wiewiórski; Hieronim Solikowski; Łukasz Kaliński; Stanisław Wydawski, prelates and canons of Lviv, gathered in chapter. We make it known to all and each one whom it may concern. That since we have made a disposition of pious works for the various needs of the Church and the poor from a certain sum of money, deposited into my hands by the late most illustrious lord Mikołaj Mielecki, Voivode of Podolia etc., [lord of] Dziatkowice, Zouc[?] of the city of Koczęcin, Grodziczki[?], Tacnowa etc. [...] and Starosta of Międzyrzecz[?], which [disposition] we ordered to be entered into the Lviv castle and land records: we have also established that in my metropolitan church of Lviv, every year, on every twelfth day of May, on which that distinguished man departed from this mortal life, our venerable Lviv chapter, prelates, and venerable prelates, canons, and vicars shall celebrate the anniversary [anniversarium] of the aforementioned lord Mikołaj Mielecki, Voivode of Podolia, and fulfill the remaining [duties] for the glory of God. For which use we have designated an annual rent from the same sum: twenty florins to the present [members] of our venerable chapter, two florins to the vicars, one florin to the sacristy, one florin to the school rector, one florin to the bell-ringers, and five florins for the midday bell-ringing established daily in memory of the Passion of the Lord and against the Turks. This annual payment of thirty florins, on the feast of Saint Martin, bishop and confessor, from the [revenues of] the village of Stryhańce, which we acquired from the said legacy for pious purposes for the holding and management by us and our successors, the Archbishops of Lviv, the said brothers and clergy of the metropolitan church, in the manner ordered and designated above, shall collect annually through the hands of the venerable dean, visitor of Lviv [and] sacristan, and the sacristan serving at any given time. By the power of this our privilege and the authority of our pastoral ordinance, for greater credibility and certainty, we have signed [it] with our own hand and have taken care to affix our seals, both mine and that of our venerable chapter. Done and given in Lviv at the general chapter held on the Monday after Reminiscere Sunday, in the Year of Our Lord one thousand five hundred and ninety-six.
