The first symbol of the word is used in combination with S at the year number to form Czech Š (sh) - so I am guessing it is some kind of hushing sound
I think the Polish "stwierdzenie" (statement) rather than "swedzenie" (itch).
"a wniem" would be in modern Polish(*) rendered as "a w nim", "and in it", i.e. the whole would be "and in them [the letters] ... a statement of where he was born, his good upbringing [uchowanie]" etc.
*Polish and Czech are still close, particularly in the border region, but were much closer in the 17th C. In places this text seems to be written more in Polish than Czech.
