to be made in the Provincial Assembly, against the moveable Effects of
the Prince Elector of Treves, which were transported into the Dutchy of
Luxemburg, tho releas’d and abolish’d, yet at the instance of some has
been renew’d; to which has been added a Sequestration, which the said Assembly
has made of the Jurisdiction of Burch, belonging to the Archbishoprick,
and of the Moiety of the Lordship of St. John, belonging to John Reinbard
of Soeteren, which is contrary to the Concordat’s drawn up at Ausburg in
the year 1548 by the publick interposition of the Empire, between the Elector
of Treves, and the Dutchy of Burgundy: It has been agreed, that the abovesaid
Arrest and Sequestration shall be taken away with all speed from the Assembly
of Luxemburg, that the said Jurisdiction, Lordship, and Electoral and Patrimonial
Effects, with the sequestred Revenues, shall be releas’d and restor’d to
the Elector; and if by accident some things should be Imbezel’d, they shall
be fully restor’d to him; the Petitioners being refer’d, for the obtaining
a determination of their Rights, to the Judge of the Prince Elector, who
is competent in the Empire. ...

as well in the Quality of Bishop of Spires as Bishop of Worms, to sue before
competent Judges for the Rights he pretends to certain Ecclesiastical Lands,
situated in the Territorys of the Lower Palatinate, if so be those Princes
make not a friendly Agreement among themselves. ...
