That the Governor should quarter his Forces where he pleased and that the Hollanders should be protected during those three months and having liberty to end their private differences before their own Iudges 11. That they should carry away all their Papers whatsoever 12. That if they could not sell their goods in the said three months time they should leave them with whom they pleased under the obedience of the Portugals to be disposed of according to their own order 13. That they should have all the victuals in the store houses of Recif and the other Forts for their voyage 14. That as to their pretensions against the Portugals they might sue them at the King of Portugals Court. 15. That all their Vessels should be restored unto them which they might fit for their voyage 16. That they might have liberty to advise all their Ships upon the Coast to come and laid their goods at Recif And in the last article it was expressed that upon the demand of the Hollanders that this might not prejudice any former treaty between the King of Portugal and the States General D. Francisco Barreto would not assent thereunto There were other articles likewise granted to the military Forces the sum of which were that all offences and hostages might be forgotten that all souldiers should go out of Recif with their Arms Match lighted Bullet in mouth Flying-colours but coming near the Portugal Army should put out the Match and lay their Arms in those Magazines appointed by the governour of Pernambucco to be restored to them at their departure provided they went to Nants Rochel or to some place in in the United Provinces and not to any belonging to the King of Portugal for security whereof they should give three hostages and all Officers and Souldiers should be shipt together with General Sigismond Schop after the delivery of the Forts of Riogrando Paraiba and Tamarica That the General should have twenty pieces of brass ordinance from four Pound-Ballet to eighteen withal their furnitures besides all necessary Iron-guns for the defence of the Ships that should be afforded them for their transportation with convenient supplyes of ammunition and provision according to the thirteenth Article before recited That General Sigismond and all his Officers of War should have liberty to carry away or sell all his or their goods or slaves That sick or wounded persons should have liberty to stay till they recovered but the Governour would not condescend to release those Hollanders which were prisoners before this surrendry A general pardon was granted to all rebells chiefly to Amboyna Mendaz and all other Indians and Negroes but they were not to have the honor to march out with their Arms. In sum the supream Councel at Recif did oblige themselves for the surrendring of these places upon the signing of these Articles and for the delivering up the Island of Farnam Viaca Noroga Riogrand Paraiba and Tamarica upon the same conditions for the inhabitants as had been granted to those of Recif These Articles were signed and delivered on both sides at the Camp at Taborda on the 18 of Ianuary 1653. and Conditions on both sides punctually observed Thus did the Hollanders loose all their Acquists in Brazile which so exasperated those high and mighty States that at the coming into Holland of myn Heer Sigismondo Schop who had there been General of their Militia they caused him to be imprisoned and tried for his life by a Councel of War but notwithstanding endeavors of his enemies he was acquitted Nor were the Portugals at home less fortunate against their neighbor enemy the Spaniards for to omit many petty skirmishes inroades made by them withal success desirable in the summer 1654.

D. Franciso De Ferrara Rabella arrived in England with Commission from the king of Portugal as Agent to Oliver Cromwel who then swayed here under the title of Protector to make a mo●e firm confirmation of the Peace with England and to advise I suppose about carrying on the War with Spain which when Cromwel had given some reasons to make the world believe he would commence against that Catholick Monarch and how much such a War was for the interest of Portugal none will doubt who have read the foregoing story which made King Iohn court that English Usurper with more submisness and complacency by both harbouring his Fleets and sending presents to his Generals then otherwise his Genius would have permitted him to have done any way in prejudice of Englands lawful KING In the mean time the death of Pope Innocentius the Tenth made D.
