Yes, but only briefly....under the great King Jon Sobieski who came along 7 years later and then reigned for 20 years. But when he died in 1697 things started going down hill even more quickly because of the practice of elected disloyal foreign kings, overly powerful nobles, and the 1 person veto.
Sweden, Saxony, Russia all marched in in the Great Northern War 1702-1714 and that combined with a outbreak of 'Plague' in those same years wrecked Poland permanently and killed 1/3 the population. Poland did not recover from that and disappeared as a country by 1800 divided amongst it's enemies until WWI 1914.
