As soon as after the
Ratification of
Peace, Three
Hundred Thousand Rixdollars shall be
paid to Madam, the Landgravine, she
shall give up Nuys, and shall only retain Cuesfeldt and Newhaus; but yet
so as that the Garison of Nuys shall not be thrown into the other two
Places,
nor nothing demanded on that
account; and the Garisons of Cuesfeldt shall
not exceed the
Number of Six Hundred Foot and Fifty
Horse. That if within
the
term of nine
Months, the whole Sum be not
paid to Madam the Landgravine,
not only Cuesfeldt and Newhaus shall remain in her Hands till the
full
Payment, but also for the
remainder, she shall be
paid Interest at Five
per Cent. and the Treasurers and Collectors of the Bayliwicks appertaining
to the abovesaid Arch-bishopricks, Bishopricks and Abby, bordering on the
Principality of Hesse, shall oblige themselves by
Oath to Madam the Landgravine,
that out of the
annual Revenues, they shall yearly
pay the
Interest of
the remaining Sum notwithstanding the
Prohibitions of their
Masters. If
the Treasurers and Collectors
delay the
Payment, or alienate the
Revenues,
Madam the Landgravine shall have
liberty to constrain them to
pay, by all
sorts of means, always saving the
Right of the Lord Proprietor of the
Territory.
