... And that a reciprocal Amity between the Emperor,
and the Most Christian King, the Electors, Princes and States of the Empire,
may be maintain’d so much the more firm and sincere (to say nothing at
present of the Article of Security, which will be mention’d hereafter)
the one shall never assist the present or future Enemys of the other under
any Title or Pretence whatsoever, either with Arms, Money, Soldiers, or
any sort of Ammunition; nor no one, who is a Member of this Pacification,
shall suffer any Enemys Troops to retire thro’ or sojourn in his Country. ...
... That the Circle of Burgundy shall be and continue
a Member of the Empire, after the Disputes between France and Spain (comprehended
in this Treaty) shall be terminated. That nevertheless, neither the Emperor,
nor any of the States of the Empire, shall meddle with the Wars which are
now on foot between them. That if for the future any Dispute arises between
these two Kingdoms, the abovesaid reciprocal Obligation of not aiding each
others Enemys, shall always continue firm between the Empire and the Kingdom
of France, but yet so as that it shall be free for the States to succour;
without the bounds of the Empire, such or such Kingdoms, but still according
to the Constitutions of the Empire. ...
