according_a to_o the_o division_n but_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o the_o duke_n be_v vassal_n of_o the_o crown_n of_o denmark_n pay_v homage_n to_o that_o crown_n for_o what_o they_o possess_v joint_o or_o separately_z whereas_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o treaty_n of_o 1658_o the_o duke_n be_v make_v free_a from_o this_o homage_n nevertheless_o the_o union_n and_o community_n be_v still_o

to_o raise_v tax_n to_o build_v fort_n and_o to_o put_v garrison_n in_o they_o to_o make_v alliance_n and_o general_o all_o the_o right_n that_o other_o sovereign_n have_v and_o which_o they_o be_v

in_o the_o duke_n portion_n no_o more_o than_o the_o duke_n have_v in_o the_o king_n who_o have_v the_o same_o right_n to_o which_o the_o king_n may_v answer_v that_o this_o be_v true_a in_o one_o

the_o other_o can_v have_v no_o right_a to_o hinder_v nor_o to_o take_v any_o notice_n of_o it_o and_o this_o can_v be_v by_o reason_n that_o beside_o the_o community_n that_o subsist_v without_o

now_o as_o the_o principal_a point_n of_o a_o government_n respect_v the_o good_a the_o advantage_n the_o peace_n and_o the_o preservation_n of_o a_o country_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o community_n in_o the_o duchy_n of_o sleswig_n be_v still_o in_o force_n as_o to_o this_o point_n according_a to_o the_o treaty_n of_o union_n beside_o it_o be_v ground_v upon_o reason_n for_o the_o

second_o this_o will_v be_v more_o evident_a by_o these_o follow_a expression_n of_o the_o letters-patent_n the_o estate_n possession_n liberty_n right_n and_o privilege_n belong_v to_o the_o

but_o reasonable_a for_o if_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v act_n contrary_a to_o the_o treaty_n of_o union_n the_o other_o must_v have_v right_a to_o oppose_v himself_o and_o he_o that_o contravenes_n

can_v say_v yet_o more_o have_v some_o particular_a right_n which_o the_o duke_n have_v not_o for_o on_o the_o one_o side_n the_o treaty_n of_o 1658._o and_o the_o letters-patent_n express_o contain_v that_o the_o right_n of_o vassalage_n and_o sovereignty_n be_v yield_v to_o the_o duke_n and_o their_o issue_n males_n bear_v and_o to_o be_v bear_v in_o lawful_a marriage_n from_o whence_o it_o appear_v plain_o that_o the_o right_n of_o fief_n be_v not_o abolish_v but_o conditional_o and_o only_o suspend_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o duke_n and_o his_o masculine_a race_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n there_o be_v a_o express_a condition_n in_o the_o letters-patent_n viz._n that_o the_o duchy_n of_o sleswig_n neither_o shall_v nor_o can_v be_v alienate_v either_o in_o whole_a or_o in_o part_n to_o the_o prejudice_n of_o the_o crown_n and_o king_n of_o denmark_n now_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o if_o the_o duke_n be_v oblige_v to_o perform_v these_o article_n the_o king_n of_o denmark_n have_v reason_n to_o have_v a_o watchful_a eye_n upon_o he_o for_o the_o interest_n of_o his_o crown_n and_o to_o oppose_v himself_o against_o all_o contravention_n and_o indeed_o the_o

sovereign_n who_o have_v be_v and_o can_v yet_o very_o easy_o be_v feudal_n lord_n of_o the_o duchy_n therefore_o the_o duke_n in_o respect_n to_o the_o king_n be_v not_o to_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o

and_o contrary_a to_o the_o right_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o government_n and_o to_o who_o he_o be_v accountable_a for_o his_o administration_n on_o the_o point_v beforementioned_a however_o it_o be_v it_o be_v upon_o the_o principle_n of_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v that_o the_o duke_n of_o gottorp_n who_o have_v be_v bring_v up_o at_o the_o court_n of_o sweden_n and_o in_o a_o very_a

have_v make_v a_o strict_a alliance_n between_o this_o crown_n and_o he_o insomuch_o that_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n have_v send_v about_o 5000_o man_n into_o the_o duchy_n of_o sleswig_n for_o to_o

fact_n the_o duke_n and_o the_o swede_n partisan_n allege_v two_o reason_n for_o to_o justify_v this_o their_o proceed_v the_o first_o be_v the_o second_o article_n of_o the_o treaty_n of_o altena_n which_o they_o say_v show_v that_o the_o duke_n be_v well_o ground_v in_o his_o pretention_n the_o article_n be_v thus_o that_o the_o king_n of_o denmark_n shall_v re-establish_a the_o duke_n of_o holstein_n in_o all_o his_o estate_n and_o good_n in_o his_o sovereignty_n regales_fw-la and_o right_n as_o to_o raise_v tax_n to_o make_v alliance_n to_o build_v fort_n and_o to_o put_v garrison_n in_o they_o etc._n etc._n the_o second_o be_v that_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n be_v guarantee_n of_o the_o treaty_n since_o the_o year_n 1658._o and_o especial_o of_o that_o of_o altena_n and_o a_o party_n concern_v in_o it_o have_v thereby_o a_o just_a foundation_n for_o maintain_v the_o duke_n in_o his_o pretension_n but_o here_o be_v two_o question_n to_o be_v examine_v the_o first_o be_v if_o the_o second_o article_n of_o the_o treaty_n of_o altena_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o that_o sense_n which_o the_o duke_n and_o his_o favourer_n give_v it_o the_o second_o be_v if_o the_o king_n of_o sweden_n have_v a_o just_a foundation_n for_o his_o proceed_n and_o hereupon_o i_o only_o will_v make_v some_o general_a reflection_n as_o to_o the_o first_o head_n the_o first_o reflection_n i_o shall_v make_v be_v that_o how_o clear_a soever_o the_o second_o article_n of_o the_o treaty_n of_o altena_n seem_v to_o be_v in_o favour_n of_o the_o duke_n it_o be_v never_o the_o less_o not_o without_o objection_n and_o to_o give_v it_o the_o extent_n that_o his_o favourer_n do_v the_o point_n that_o respect_v the_o fort_n must_v be_v express_v thus_o with_o the_o right_n of_o build_v fort_n where_o he_o think_v fit_a and_o convenient_a without_o his_o majesty_n take_v any_o notice_n of_o it_o or_o find_v fault_n with_o it_o what_o i_o
