... That Sentences pronounc’d during the War about
Matters purely Secular, if the Defect in the Proceedings be not fully manifest,
or cannot be immediately demonstrated, shall not be esteem’d wholly void;
but that the Effect shall be suspended until the Acts of Justice (if one
of the Partys demand the space of six months after the Publication of the
Peace, for the reviewing of his Process) be review’d and weigh’d in a proper
Court, and according to the ordinary or extraordinary Forms us’d in the
Empire: to the end that the former Judgments may be confirm’d, amended,
or quite eras’d, in case of Nullity. ...
... As for the finding out of equitable and expedient
means, whereby the Prosecution of Actions against Debtors, ruin’d by the
Calamitys of the War, or charg’d with too great Interests, and whereby
these Matters may be terminated with moderation, to obviate greater inconveniences
which might arise, and to provide for the publick Tranquillity; His Imperial
Majesty shall take care to hearken as well to the Advices of his Privy
Council, as of the Imperial Chamber, and the States which are to be assembled,
to the end that certain firm and invariable Constitutions may be made about
this Matter And in the mean time the alledg’d Reasons and Circumstances
of the Partys shall be well weigh’d in Cases brought before the Sovereign
Courts of the Empire, or Subordinate ones of States and no body shall be
oppress’d by immoderate Executions; and ail this without prejudice to the
Constitution of Holstein. ...
... For the greater Firmness of all and every one
of these Articles, this present Transaction shall serve for a perpetual
Law and establish’d Sanction of the Empire, to be inserted like other fundamental
Laws and Constitutions of the Empire in the Acts of the next Diet of the
Empire, and the Imperial Capitulation; binding no less the absent than
the present, the Ecclesiasticks than Seculars, whether they be States of
the Empire or not: insomuch as that it shall be a prescrib’d Rule, perpetually
to be follow’d, as well by the Imperial Counsellors and Officers, as those
of other Lords, and all Judges and Officers of Courts of Justice. ...
