their Creditors, the same shall be restor’d, but not with prejudice to
their Rights. ...
... That the Debts either by Purchase, Sale, Revenues,
or by what other name they may be call’d, if they have been violently extorted

there has been a real Payment, they shall be no more prosecuted, before
these Exceptions be first adjusted. That the Debtors shall be oblig’d to
produce their Exceptions within the term of two years after the Publication
of the Peace, upon pain of being afterwards condemn’d to perpetual Silence. ...

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. ...
