A letter sent from Theodosius, Metropolitan of All Rus', to Novgorod, stating that the Novgorodians did not enter into the lord’s courts, or into any matters
Behold, Theodosius, Metropolitan of All Rus', according to the tradition of the Holy Apostles and Holy Fathers, set boundaries for the churches - the bishops, and even the bishops, monasteries, and abbots and monks, and 2865 priests and deacons, and every church person, they are all under the region and in obedience to the saint; and let no one dare, not a single Christian, no matter how small or great, to intervene in those matters. 2866 If someone from those abbots, or priests, or monks 2867 has to be taken away from the saint by worldly rulers, the divine and sacred rules are cast out and excommunicated; but whoever has to intercede for them is not blessed. - And what about the villages, and the lands, and the waters, and the church duties, and the mayors, and the thousand, and the boyars of Veliky Novgorod do not stand up for anything. And what was drawn to the Church of God, or purchase, or who gave to the soul 2868, dividing the memory, and the posadniks, and the thousand, and the boyars of Veliky Novgorod do not stand up for this; and whoever intercedes on your behalf is not blessed by the divine rules.
For this reason, 2869 I Theodosius, Metropolitan of All Rus', according to those divine rules, gave this 2870 letter to the archbishopric of Novgorod, to St. Sophia, and to his son Vladyka Jonah, Archbishop of Veliky Novgorod: since there are so many monasteries 2871, let the abbot be in obedience to him in conquest, and the entire priestly rank, as well as the villages, and the land, and the water, with all the duties that were drawn to the house of St. Sophia from ancient times, so now they will be drawn to St. Sophia and to Vladyka Jonah. And you, my children, mayors and thousands and boyars of Veliky Novgorod, would not interfere with church duties, neither on land nor on waters: you would observe the executions of the holy rules. And whoever intercedes for you, he would cease from this hour. And whoever listens to the rules of the holy Apostles and holy councils, tradition, and my teaching, upon him is the mercy of God and his Most Pure Mother of God, and my blessing; If you are proud and offensive, and daringly 2872 offend the Church of God, do not awaken the mercy of God and His Most Pure Mother, nor my blessing. And the 2873 letter was given in Moscow, January 26, summer seventy-first. 2874
