From the gracious regard taken for the proofs of sincere piety and the support of pious prayers, with which the venerable Materna, vicar general of Ruthenia, together with the convent of the Corpus Christi monastery in our city of Lviv of the Order of Friars Preachers, devoted to us and dear, do not cease to invoke the mercy of Almighty God for our prosperity, and also of the most glorious duchess, Lady Hedwig, Queen of Poland, our dearest spouse, and our predecessors, desiring therefore that this same vicar together with the convent of the mentioned brothers might be able to persist more attentively in the service of God and that the construction or Corpus Christi church founded in our city of Lviv, for whose rebuilding and completion we cherish a special pious affection, they might be able to more diligently with the help of our generosity renew, erect, and just as they have begun, with the help of the Highest complete, to the mentioned vicar and convent and their successors from the fullness of our generosity [p. 3 / f. 2r:] our inn on the river Mała Lipa and situated by the road leading to Trembowla, together with the customs duty adjacent to it, we give, grant, and donate as an eternal and irrevocable gift for eternal future times, for holding, possessing, using, and eternal possession by these same vicar and convent and their successors by that right and power by which we ourselves held, had, and possessed this inn together with the customs duty with full right until now.

When, however, by the permission of the Highest we shall depart from this world, this same brother or brothers in the same way have the duty to celebrate three masses for the dead in every week forever. If, however, the solemnity of some feast should fall in one of such weeks, through whose solemn celebration the mentioned three masses could not be completed, then on the weekdays of the following week the said mass let it nevertheless be completely and fully supplemented by this same brother or brothers. In testimony of all this and for clearer proof we ordered this our letter to be written and reinforced with the authority of our hanging seal.
