a perpetual Oblivion, Amnesty, or Pardon of all that has been committed
since the beginning of these Troubles, in what place, or what manner soever
the Hostilitys have been practis’d, in such a manner, that no body, under
any pretext whatsoever, shall practice any Acts of Hostility, entertain
any Enmity, or cause any Trouble to each other; neither as to Persons,
Effects and Securitys, neither of themselves or by others, neither privately
nor openly, neither directly nor indirectly, neither under the colour of
Right, nor by the way of Deed, either within or without the extent of the
Empire, notwithstanding all Covenants made before to the contrary: That
they shall not act, or permit to be acted, any wrong or injury to any whatsoever;

as during the War, in Words, Writings, and Outrageous Actions, in Violences,
Hostilitys, Damages and Expences, without any respect to Persons or Things,
shall be entirely abolish’d in such a manner that all that might be demanded
of, or pretended to, by each other on that behalf, shall be bury’d in eternal
Oblivion. ...
