... 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. ...
... That the Contracts, Exchanges, Transactions, Obligations,
Treatys, made by Constraint or Threats, and extorted illegally from States
or Subjects (as in particular, those of Spiers complain, and those of Weisenburg
on the Rhine, those of Landau, Reitlingen, Hailbron, and others) shall
be so annull’d and abolish’d, that no more Enquiry shall be made after
them. ...
... And to the end that all Differences be extirpated
and rooted out between these same Dukes, his most Christian Majesty shall
pay to the said Lord, the Duke of Mantua, four hundred ninety four thousand
Crowns, which the late King of blessed Memory, Lewis XIII. had promis’d
to pay to him on thu Duke of Savoy’s Discount; who by this means shall
together with his Heirs and Successors be discharg’d from this Obligation,
and secur’d from all Demands which might be made upon him of the said Sum,
by the Duke of Mantua, or his Successors; so that for the future neither
the Duke of Savoy, nor his Heirs and Successors, shall receive any Vexation
or Trouble from the Duke of Mantua, his Heirs and Successors, upon this
subject, or under this pretence. ...
