Abstract
The authors describe distressful situation they have found themselves in. They lived in Leszno as exiles for twenty years hoping in return to their homeland and they have been dispersed to various places by an attack of barbarous people instead. They thank to God that they have managed to save their lives. They lost their possessions and homes. Nobody wants to help them as the local people are often of different religion. Their artisans are not accepted to the local gilds. There are widows and ill among them. They do not have enough food and clothes and many of them pray to God to take them out of this live. The authors ask Comenius for help.
