The first act is published from Moskov's manuscript. Pub. Music XVII century No. 939, l. 26: published in East. Russian Cer. Macaria, vol. VI, pp. 369–372; the second - according to the collection of Count Uvarov No. 512 (formerly Tsarsky No. 366), fol. 196 vol.–198: was published in the first volume of Historical Acts, under No. 52. Jonah’s letter is nothing more than a slight alteration of the letter of Metropolitan Photius, placed above under No. 49. I. Handwriting of Daniel the Bishop Behold, humble Danil, bishop of Volodymyr and Berestia. That 2723 dared to be installed as a bishop in that Volodymyr bishopric from Metropolitan Sidor and from other metropolitans who were embarrassed by Isidore, and the cathedral that was assembled about him at that time in Constantinople, but I did not understand that that Isidor Metropolitan was a convener and supporter of that Latin, which was in Florence, the eighth cathedral, and He praises all Latin traditions, and remembers the name of the Pope in prayerful memories, and equalized unleavened bread with sour bread and created one in one, and all other Latin customs and customs and duties for the creator, and with Gregory, the patriarch who was then in Constantinople, who is of the same mind about everything to Isidore. And I received from them the ordination to the episcopate, and I gave my confession 2724 to them, according to their will, as I commanded. And now, humble Danil, Bishop of Volodymyr and Berestia, I reject and deny my previous confession and Isidore’s ordination and impute everything to nothing. Likewise, the name of Papa’s and Isidor’s, and that eighth council’s collection, and the hedgehog on my installation of the assembled councils, I put aside and curse. I confess God and His Most Pure Mother of God and obey in everything my master, His Grace Metropolitan Jonah of Kyiv and All Russia, with faith and consent to hold all Christian church traditions unwaveringly and unchangeably, according to the holy rules, as the holy Apostles and holy God-bearing Fathers handed down to us in the seven holy councils. And to rule and maintain this and to remain in this until my last breath. I confess my present confession of the right and immaculate Christian faith 2725 to this, which is in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, one Divinity... The same confession follows, which is placed in the above published “Rite of election and installation as bishops” (No. 52), but with some cancellations, in accordance with the personal circumstances of Daniel, namely: To these I confess not... will do nothing for me out of need, neither from the king, nor from the king,... Or even if they are disgusted by death, commanding me to serve or to do something holy in a foreign bishopric and in all authorities except the bishopric, given to us now by my master, the Most Reverend Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Rus' Jonah - according to this letter of mine, except for the Eighth Council of Isidore, which I also renounced by this writing... I promise: I will not want to accept another metropolitan, unless you, my master, Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Rus' Jonah, or whomever they appoint from true Orthodoxy. At the very end it is added: If, through this confession and through my above words, I transgress in what way, or otherwise I will philosophize, or I will praise the Latin Council in what speeches, or the Pope of Rome, or that Isidore, who appointed me, in remembrance and in good words 2726 and in praise of the imam, and without any twist I will be alien to the holiness and saint the cathedral apostolic church and the concelebration of my master Jonah, Metropolitan of Kyiv and all Russia and the sacred council about him, all the God-loving archbishops and bishops of Russia, but also eternal condemnation may I accept on the future and terrible day of judgment, before the unhypocritical, righteous Judge, the reigning King, and the Lord who lords. This was signed with my own hand in the summer of 6960, index 15, month of October on the 28th day. II. Farewell by Jonah, Metropolitan of Kyiv and All Rus', Danil, Bishop of Vladimir Before 2727, by the grace of God, the Russian Church was united and was quickly brought into the first world and established, and according to ancient custom it was strengthened to become a single metropolis, as 2728 originally came from holy baptism, and there was one metropolitan of Kiev and all Rus', and the great ruler Casimir, the king of Poland, and the great the Prince of Lithuania, as God put it on his heart, for the honor of his great dominion and for the sake of his salvation, to unite that of his pilgrimage, the Kyiv metropolitanate, in the old way: for this reason and I, humble Jonah, Metropolitan of Kiev and All Rus' 2729, according to the grace given to me from the Most Holy and Life-Giving Spirit, and according to the vision of 2730 about the union 2731 To the Church of God of that great ruler, also by petition, and by confession, and by repentance and submission, to God and to the Church of God and to our humility, Daniel Bishop of Vladimir and Berestia, we forgive him 2732 and bless him, with all our children and colleagues, with the archbishop and Russian bishops of our metropolis, Elicia at this time joined us, and we willed 2733 him to join with us, and he also joined with us in the holy service. So let us release him, with spiritual love, to the sacred bishopric of Vladimir and to the entire border of that bishopric. And for this reason, the God-loving Bishop Danil, in the Holy Spirit, the son and fellow servant of our humility, must create in that bishopric all the saintly church justifications, as has long been the norm. We also blessed him and commanded him, and moreover, decried, as a gift to him, to immerse him for the sake of his coming to us, and to our metropolis, with the protrops of our 2734 governors of Kyiv 2735 and Naugorod, to appoint him as a deacon and as a priest, and then as an official at his petition. And for this reason, this letter of our humility was given to him, for his confirmation, in Moscow, for a month... In the original it is confessing; corrected by Mac. Words: and be kind to all of them... all of Rus' is not in the Act. Compare above No. 67. and management added to the Act. In authentic protopopmi; corrected according to Act.
