... As to their Estates that have been lost by Confiscation
or otherways, before they took the part of the Crown of France, or of Swedeland,
notwithstanding the Plenipotentiarys of Swedeland have made long instances,
they may be also restor’d. Nevertheless his Imperial Majesty being to receive
Law from none, and the Imperialists sticking close thereto, it has not
been thought convenient by the States of the Empire, that for such a Subject
the War should be continu’d: And that thus those who have lost their Effects
as aforesaid, cannot recover them to the prejudice of their last Masters
and Possessors. But the Estates, which have been taken away by reason of
Arms taken for France or Swedeland, against the Emperor and the House of
Austria, they shall be restor’d in the State they are found, and that without
any Compensation for Profit or Damage. ...
... Nevertheless the King shall pretend to nothing
more than the Protection and safe Passage of his Garison into the Castle
of Philipsburg: but the Property of the Place, all Jurisdiction, Possession,
all its Profits, Revenues, Purchases, Rights, Regales, Servitude, People,
Subjects, Vassals, and every thing that of old in the Bishoprick of Spire,
and the Churches incorporated therein, had appertain’d to the Chapter of
Spire, or might have appertain’d thereto; shall appertain, and be intirely
and inviolably preserv’d to the same Chapter, saving the Right of Protection
which the King takes upon him. ...
