... That Frederick, Marquiss of Baden, and of Hachberg,
and his Sons and Heirs, with all those who have serv’d them in any manner
whatsoever, and who serve them still, of what degree they may be, shall
enjoy the Amnesty above-mention’d, in the second and third Article, with
all its Clauses and Benefices; and by virtue thereof, they shall be fully
re-establish’d in the State Ecclesiastical or Secular, in the same manner
as the Lord George Frederick Marquiss of Beden and of Hachberg, possess’d,
before the beginning of the Troubles of Bohemia, whatever concern’d the
lower Marquisate of Baden, call’d vulgarly Baden Durlach, as also what
concern’d the Marquisate of Hachberg, and the Lordships of Rottelen, Badenweiller,
and Sausenberg, notwithstanding, and annulling all the Changes made to
the contrary. After which shall be restor’d to Marquiss Frederick, the
Jurisdictions of Stein and Renchingen, without being charg’d with Debts,
which the Marquiss William has contracted during that time, by Reason of
the Revenues, Interests and Charges, put down in the Transaction pass’d
at Etlingen in the Year 1629. and transfer’d to the said William Marquiss
of Baden, with all the Rights, Documents, Writings, and other things appertaining;
so that all the Plea concerning the Charges and Revenues, as well receiv’d
as to receive, with their Damages and Interests, to reckon from the time
of the first Possession, shall be intirely taken away and abolish’d. ...
... 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. ...
... If those Documents be publick, and concern in
common and jointly the Lands yielded to the King, the Archduke shall receive
authentick Copys of them, at what time and as often as he shall demand
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. ...
