11) nobles of the Catholic and Greek faith, who will remain with the Cossack hetman, will not be subjected to any persecution; they will be relieved of all responsibility for what happened during the last war.

Signed by the king when necessary, in an emergency Polish army, The Zborowski Treaty aroused the discontent of wide circles of the Polish ruling class; to the same extent, Belarusian and Little Russian peasants were dissatisfied with it. Therefore, already in the next year, its violations began, which caused a number of new Cossack-Polish clashes, and the further war was fought by the Cossacks for the restoration and consolidation of the articles of the Zborov treaty.

They were sent to the Cossacks by the German emperor Rudolph II at the end of the 16th century, along with other gifts and a request to come out to help him against the Turks. The Zaporozhye Cossacks received banners, timpani and silver trumpets from the Polish-Lithuanian kings. After the Troubles, when relations between the Cossacks and Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich were settled, he sent a banner to the Don, "with which to stand against our enemies and walk on them." After fulfilling the treaty obligations, the banners entered the military museums. The Cossacks and their descendants, Kuban Cossacks, banners, timpani and ancient letters were called by the Polish word "kleinody" (jewelry).
