64. В конце 1448 г. Грамота митрополита Ионы литовским князьям, панам, боярам, наместникам и народу, с извещением о своем поставлении

The only list of this charter according to which it was published was in the first volume of Historical Acts under No. 43 and which is in the synodal collection No. 562, fol. 36 vol.–39, suggests that it contains two different acts: a letter to the Lithuanian princes and lords, in which Metropolitan Jonah announced his appointment, and a letter with exhortations to abandon the alliance with Shemyaka and submit to the Grand Duke, which means addressed to the inhabitants of Moscow Rus'. During the merger, both letters were naturally shortened (the first at the end, the second at the beginning). In this edition, to clearly distinguish the components of the synodal list, the last part is printed in a special font. Message to Lithuania from Jonah, Metropolitan of All Rus' of Kyiv, to the princes, and lords, and boyars, and governors, and governors, on the installation of metropolitan Blessing of Jonah, Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Rus', about the Holy Spirit to the beloved sons of our humility, noble and faithful princes, and lords, and boyars, and governors, and governors, and to all of the Lord's people named after Christ. You know 2561, sons, that for many years the Church of God was widowed without a great saint, without a metropolitan, and in that much trouble and languor for the Christianity of our land was repaired. And now, as God wills, the holy council, the lords, and archimandrites and abbots, gathered together, and with all the great priesthood of God of our land, and according to the divine sacred rules they made me metropolitan, remembering the previous command of the holy king and the blessing of the holy and ecumenical patriarch and the whole holy ecumenical council, and according to the thought of the lord, my son, the great prince Vasily Vasilyevich 2562, and his younger brothers, the princes: zenezhe, sons, since there was Orthodoxy in Constantinople, and they received the blessing of the metropolitan from there; and now, my son, I will this to God, 2563 and not by the will of our humility, but by the will of great autocracy, this was done, according to 2564 the Apostle: “Neither willful nor flowing, but God is well pleased by the Almighty.” And for this reason, this great work of God was accomplished. And now, son, knowing and knowing that you are true great Orthodox Christians and have great faith in God, and we have sent to you, with our blessing, this boyar of ours (name), and we write to your great Orthodoxy, about the Holy Spirit, my children, fulfilling our due, hierarchical care, having not only about your current well-being, but even more about the good reward from Christ my Master to your only-begotten immortal souls, on the great day of inexorable judgment... [You tell me, my son, that everything has become from Prince Dmitry Yuryevich, the great desolation and desolation of our land has been repaired and a lot of Christian blood has been shed; and then Prince Dmitry, having come to knowledge, finished off his brother the eldest Grand Duke with his forehead and kissed the honest and life-giving cross, and not only one, but he changed everything; the final pack finished off with his forehead to his eldest brother, the Grand Duke, and kissed the life-giving cross, and he wrote a letter for himself of his own will, such that it was hard for him not to think at all, nor to blame his eldest brother, the Grand Duke, and Christian disorder and blood; and whether he has anything to think or undertake that is dashing against his elder brother, against the Grand Duke, and against Christian disorder and blood, do not awaken on him the mercy of God, nor his Most Pure Mother of God, and the great wonderworker Nicholas, and the holy wonderworkers Peter and Leontius 2565, and the venerable fathers Sergius and Cyril, and the blessings of all the rulers, and archimandrites and abbots and holy monks and monks, and all the great priesthood of God, neither in this age nor in the future. And for this reason I am writing to you, so that naturally all Orthodox Christians would spare themselves not only physically, but even more so spiritually, and blessed by God... 2566, and would naturally send and beat their master the Grand Duke for the salary as God puts on his heart; but you do not have to beat your ruler, the Grand Duke, with your forehead, to your ultimate destruction, and then Christian blood will be shed, and all that Christian blood will be exacted from God on you, for your petrification and foolishness; Yes, for the sake of God’s mercy and your Christianity, you will be strangers, and our humble blessing and prayer, as well as the entire great priesthood of God’s blessing 2567 will not be on you. And I pray to you, in the Lord, my beloved children, that you will not bring yourself into such a great church burden, and that you will not temporarily and physically destroy yourself, and even more so, that you will not consign your only-begotten immortal souls to eternal torment to eternal torment of your own free will: if Christian blood is still shed by your bitterness, then neither will anyone be called a Christian in our land, nor will he serve as a priest, but all God’s churches in your land will be closed from our humility. And for this reason, my sons, with great anticipation and weeping before God, I pray to you that all of you, with great strength, have common vision and reasoning, as if it were for God’s glory, and not for Christian destruction]. The name is great. the prince is not in the manuscript. Handwritten before it is worth but - superfluous. In the manuscript of Aleontius; Are two names merged here: Alexia and Leontia? This is what is written in the manuscript according to scraping; Then something necessary for the completeness of the meaning is missing. blessings were omitted from the manuscript.
