In the 16th and 17th centuries teachings for priests in the Metropolitanate of Kiev became more accessible due to appearance of the first typographies. Teachings were reaching the recipients also in the form of a pastoral letter, the message to the clergy or as an admonishment. The last one was preached according to tradition, by metropolitan or bishop during the meetings of the Synod just after the solemn liturgy. Written teachings closer to the “synodal” in content were handed to the newly ordained priests prior to their departure to the designated parishes. Admonishments for the priests also came in the form of a sermon. They were separate words addressed to the representatives of the clergy or a short teachings presented as a part of a homily on Sunday or a holiday. Significant were also teachings about canonic authority, created by Orthodox hierarchs and often formulated or approved during the council works and collected in a set of principles, rules. Typically, they were similar in content to the teachings mentioned before. However, were characterized by greater brevity in the form of short recommendations disciplinary, legal and liturgical in character. In the 17th century, a rich source of the teachings for the priests was a theological treatises and guides gradually more present in the publishing offer. A special significance for the priests had nomocanons, collections of church laws. It is worth mentioning also a printed collection of sermons and other works of the Fathers of the Church., Synodal teachings and those presented to a newly priests after ordination were the primer for the clergy. It contained basic information about the life of a priest, determined the scope of his duties and were supported by the authority on the canonical sources. This period of the cultural revival ends with the events of the last decades of the 17th century. Left-bank Ukraine becomes a part of the empire of tsars, and in 1686 the Kyiev Metropolitanate is reordered to Patriarch of Moscow. In years 1717-1720 the tsar issues a number of documents which impose restrictions on the printed Ukrainian language and Orthodox Slavonic books of local publishers, and then delegate typographies of Kyiv - Pechersk and Chernihov to work on reprints of books previously censored in Russia. A was also a beginning of new church life system that deprived the priests from dignity, demoralized, and was a display of denial of earlier reforms.
