Neighbourhood and having observ'd That the Flames of that Fire have insinuated themselves among their Neighbours which by inevitable necessity will involve the greatest Part of the Princes and States of Christendom in the same Calamities unless they may be timely extinguish'd before they gather greater Force Have thought that they could not discharge the Duty of that Trust and the respective Offices wherein they are placed by God if after the Re-establishment of a mutual Friendship and Alliance between the Nations of Great Britain and the United Netherlands and the Conclusion of a Peace between the four powerful States that were Parties in that bloody War They should not apply their Minds with the utmost Diligence and Industry to compose the differences that have arisen between the said two Crowns and more especially to take care That the Flames of that War which have been kindled in their Neighbourhood may be extinguished Therefore The most Serene King of Great Britain and the High and Mighty States of the United Netherlands having with much Labour and e●●nest Intreaty induced the most Christian King to profess solemnly to the said States General That he would immediately lay down his Arms if the Spaniard would either consent to yield up to him in due form and manner by a Treaty of Peace all those Places and Forts together with the Chastelanies and their Dependencies which he possess'd himself of in the Expedition of the last Year Or will be perswaded to transfer and make over to him all the right that remains to them in the Dutchy of Luxemburg or else in the County of Burgundy together with Cambray and the Cambresis Doway Aire St. Omer Winoxbergen Furnes and Lincken with their Bailiwicks Chastelanies and other Dependencies and in case they accept the Alternative last mention'd the most Christian King will restore to the King of Spain all such Places and Territories as the French have possess'd by their Arms since they entred Flanders Provided the High and Mighty States General shall on their part promise and render themselves Guarrantees to the most Christian King That they will by their Reasons and other effectual Means induce the Spaniards to agree to these Conditions The said King of Great Britain and the said States General jointly conclude and judge That they can do no better Service in this Conjuncture and State of Affairs either to the two Kings before named or to the rest of the neighbouring Princes and States than by their joint Counsels and utmost Endeavours to exhort and as much as in them lies oblige the said two Crowns to make Peace upon the Terms and Conditions before mention'd To which end we whose names are hereunto subscribed having receiv'd full Power to that Effect have by Virtue of those Injunctions concluded and agreed the following Articles I. That the King of Great Britain and the States General of the United Netherlands shall either jointly or separately provided their Intentions be mutually communicated and no way repugnant to this Agreement use their utmost Endeavors and Industry with the most Christian King to perswade him to promise and engage in the best Form and by a solemn Treaty to the King of Great Britain and to the States General of the United Netherlands That he will conclude a Peace and Alliance with the King of Spain without any Exception or Reserve under whatever Pretext or for whatever Cause if the King of Spain shall be induced or perswaded by the King of Great Britain and the Confederated States to yield to the most Christian King either the Places he possess'd himself of the last Year in the Low-Countries or to give him an Equivalent by delivering up the Places above mention'd or others in lieu of them as shall be mutually agreed betwen the Parties concerned II. That the most Christian King be induced to consent That the present Cessation of Arms in the Low-Countries may be prolong'd to the End of the Month of May to the end that the King of Great Britain and the confederated States may in the mean time employ themselves with all Diligence Care and Industry to procure the Consent of the King or Queen of Spain and their Council to the aforesaid Terms and Conditions III. But that the most Christian King may have no just occasion to refuse to prolong the Cessation of Arms the King of Great Britain and the Confederated States shall oblige themselves by the same Treaty to take effectual Care That the Spaniards shall yield to France all that was taken the last Year by the French or give them an Equivalent as shall be agreed with the Consent of both Parties IV. That the most Christian King shall be induced and perswaded to give intire Credit to and put full Confidence in the aforesaid Promise that his Arms may not for the future disturb the Quiet of the Low-Countries So that if it should happen contrary to all hope and expectation that the King of Great Britain and the confederated States shall not be able by their Exhortations and earnest Sollicitations to perswade the Spaniards to give their Consent to the Conditions above-mention'd before the end of the next ensuing May and that it become necessary to use more effectual means to that purpose Nevertheless the French shall not move or introduce their Arms within or upon the Limits of the said Low-Countries but the King of Great Britain and the confederated States shall engage and take upon themselves to make such necessary Provision as may effectually oblige the Spaniards to accept the foresaid Conditions of Peace And it shall not be left to the Discretion of the most Christian King either to exercise any Acts of Hostility in the said Countries or to possess himself of any Town tho' by voluntary Surrender unless the King of Great Britain and the Confederated States shall cease and omit to prosecute the Things above-mention'd V. That when the Peace is made between the two Crowns not only the King of Great Britain and the confederated States but likewise the Emperor and all the neighbouring Kings and Princes who shall think themselves concern'd that the Quiet of Christendom remain unshaken and the Low-Countries be restored to the Enjoyment of their former Tranquillity shall be Guarrantees and Conservators of the same To which end the number of Forces and other means to be used against either of the Parties that shall violate or infringe the said Peace shall be determin'd and agreed that the Injury may cease and the Party offended receive Satisfaction VI. That this Agreement with all and every thing therein contain'd shall be confirm'd and ratified by the said King of Great Britain and the said States General of the United Provinces by Letters Patents on both sides sealed with the Great Seal in due and authentick Form within four Weeks next ensuing or sooner if it can be done and within the said time the mutual Instruments of Ratification shall be exchanged on both sides In Witness and Confirmation

Januarii 1668. Signed as before Separate Articles which shall be of the same Force and Authority as if they had been inserted in the Treaty concluded this Day between the King of Great Britain and the States General of the United Netherlands I. I● in the procuring of a Peace between F●ance and Spain any Difficulty should arise about the Point of the Renunciation 't is to be so contriv'd That either no mention at all is to be made of it in the Treaty or at least the Form is to be conceiv'd and set down in such Words as nothing may accrue to either of the two Crowns on account of the said Renunciation nor any Prejudice be created to either of them in Point of Right But if either the King of Spain or the most Christian King refuse their Consent to this Expedient then the King of Great Britain and the confederated States shall proceed against the Refuser as is agreed by the third and fourth Article of the Treaty and in the last of these Articles respectively with this Condition however That in case such refusal proceed from the King of Spain the most Christian King shall oblige himself not to make War in the Low-Countries according to the Tenor of the fourth Article II. That the King of Great Britain and the States General of the United Netherlands to the end that all Parties may be satisfied shall oblige themselves to use their utmost Endeavours that a Peace may at the same time be establish'd between the Kings of Spain and Portugal but with this Condition That the most Christian King shall also oblige himself in case this Negotiation cannot be so soon accomplish'd that such a Delay shall no way hinder on his Part the Peace between him and Spain except only That it shall he free for the said most Christian King to give Succour and Aid to the King of Portugal his Ally either by way of Attack that he may draw the Enemy fron other Parts or by an other means which he shall judge to be most convenient and advantagious And if the Spaniards can be brought to consent to a Peace under the said Condition and the same be concluded accordingly then the most Christian King shall be oblig'd wholly to abstain from the Low-Countries as possess'd of Peace and not involv'd in the Disputes of either Party Neither shall it be lawful for him to form any Designs against them either by open force or clandestine Practices nor to require any Satisfaction under the Pretext of Charges and Expences to be sustained on account of the War in Portugal either for raising Men or any other Burdens of that War And if it should happen that during the said War the auxiliary Forces of the most Christian King should possess themselves of any Places in Spain or Italy the said most Christian King shall restore them to Spain as soon as the Peace with Portugal shall be made But if beyond and contrary to Expectation Spain should refuse to make Peace with the King of Portugal and also with the most Christian King under that Exception of leaving him free to assist his Confederate as has been already said In this unexpected case The King of Great Britain and the confederated States shall be bound to employ themselves effectually to procure the Consent of the Spaniards yet with this Provision That the most Christian King do also oblige himself not to make War in the Low-Countries as in the former Case is already said III. But if beyond all expectation the most Christian King should entertain such Thoughts as shall induce him to refuse to promise That he will sign the Treaty of Peace as soon as the Spaniards shall consent to give up all those Places which have been acquir'd by him in his last Expedition or such an Equivalent as shall be agreed by mutual Consent or in case he shall not accomplish his Promise or shall disallow or reject the Cautions and Provisions that are express'd in the said Treaty which are so necessary to obviate the Fears and Jealousies that are most justly conceiv'd of the most Christian King's Intentions to make a farther progress with his victorious Arms into the said Low-Countries so often already mention'd In all these Cases and also if he should endeavour by any Subterfuges or oblique Practices to hinder or elude the Conclusion of the Peace Then England and the United Netherlands shall be bound and oblig'd to join themselves to the King of Spain and with all their united Force and Power to make War against France not only to compel him to make Peace upon the Conditions aforesaid but if God should bless the Arms taken up to this end and favour them with success and if it shall be thought expedient to the Parties concern'd to continue the War 'till things shall be restored to that Condition in which they were at the time when the Peace was made upon the Borders of both Kingdoms in the Pyrenaean Mountains IV. These separate Articles with all and every thing therein contain'd shall be confirm'd and ratified by the said King of Great Britain and the said States General of the United Provinces by Letters Patents of both Parties sealed with their Great Seal in due and authentick Form within four Weeks next ensuing or sooner if it may be and within the said time the mutual Instruments of Ratification shall be exchang'd on both sides Done at the Hague in Holland the 23d of January 1668.
