Reasons whereby it is shewed and proued that the people of Bohemia that are Subiects to the Monasteries and Clergie of the same Realme in their resorts by the Letters Patents and the Vnion contracted and made betweene those of the Reformed Religion and the Papists haue liberty to build themselues Churches and freely to exercise their Religion therein without interruption 1 FIRST it is declared and expresly set down in his Maiesties Letters Patents that all the vnited members of the Reformed Religion viz. the Lords and Knights as also those of Prage Ruttenbergh and other Townes together with their Subiects and briefely all those that make profession of and acknowledge the Bohemian Confession no man excepted shall and may freely and peaceably in all places exercise their Christian Religion of communicating vnder both kinds according to the said Confession and the Vnity made and shall be suffered quietly to professe and confesse their faith and Religion without interruption 2 That from the day of the date thereof none of the superiour free Estates nor any of the Cities Townes nor Country people shall neither by their Magistrates nor any other person whatsoeuer Spirituall or Temporall be troubled for their said Religion neither by force or violence be constrained or compelled to exercise the contrary Religion by any meanes whatsoeuer 3 Thirdly that against the said Priuiledge no Counter-mand nor any other prohibition which may in any sort be or procured the least impediment or alteration thereof from his Imperiall Maiestie his Heires and Successors Kings of Bohemia shall not be made nor granted and if any such thing shall happen or be enterprised and taken in hand by any one it shall be of no force nor vigour neither shall there be any further pursuite thereof made in Law or otherwise directly or indirectly whatsoeuer 4 That his Imperiall Maiestie certifieth and giueth all supreme Officers both present and future to vnderstand that it is his will and pleasure that the Barons Knights Townes of Prage Ruttenbergh and other places together with all their Subiects and namely all those that professe the Reformed Religion and acknowledge the Bohemian Confession by vertue of his Maiesties Letters Patents shall be suffered and permitted by them and euery of them freely to enioy all the Articles Clauses and Sentences therein set downe and declared and no hinderance let nor interruption to be done vnto them for the same by any man but to the contrary that they shall aide helpe assist them therein to the vttermost of their powers And if it shall happen that any Spirituall or Temporall person shall doe any thing contrary to his said Maiesties Letters or to the end thereby to disanull or interrupt the same his said Maiestie shall and will as also his Heires and Successors Kings of Bohemia and the States of this Realme euery one of them for their parts proceed against euery such persons as against perturbators of the common Peace and Tranquillity of the Law and will defend and protect the said States of the Reformed Religion in all respects as the Articles in the Statute of the Vnion concerning the peace of the Land containe and import 5. And in the Articles of Vnion between both the religions for the better explaning of the Letters Patents as also in the Exchequer or Office of the Rowls or Records of the Realme in Quaterno Emptionum argenteo Anno 1609. it is inserted in these words That in such places or Cities vnder the Kings Queenes or the Emperors Maiesties regiment those of the reformed Religion that haue not their owne particular Churches places of burial nor any places among those of the contrary religion by vertue of his Maiesties Letters Patents shall haue power to make and prepare Churches Hospitals and Burying places for themselues whensoeuer they will 6. In the coniunction of the States of the Religion in Bohemia and the Papists with the Princes and States of the Dutchy of Silesia these words are inserted Whosoeuer vnlesse it be the Emperors Maiesty himselfe whether he be a Spirituall or a Temporall person of what dignity or condition soeuer none excepted eyther in his Imperiall Maiesties name his owne or any others whatsoeuer shall goe about or attempt to trouble or molest the Lords of the three Estates of the Crowne of Bohemia or the Princes and States of Silesia or Slesia that are of the Ausburge Confession or any of the Subiects of the same profession whether they be vnder Spiritual or Temporall Catholike or Euangelicall iurisdiction in their Christian religion Churches Scholes or Consistories in any manner or vnder any pretence whatsoeuer of right belonging before to the Catholike foundatiōs Cloysters Churches Scholes Consistories Rents In-comes or Reuenues and now at this present are vsed and enioyed by these of the reformed Religion in both countries and still remaine so and would molest them for the same it shall bee lawfull for all the sayd States of the reformed Religion to ioyne and stand fast altogether and to doe their vttermost endeuour to the last drop of bloud in their bodies for the defence of the reformed Religion Churches Scholes Consistories and their appurtenances and to hold and keepe the same for their security And that whensoeuer they or any of their subiects or others of their profession that are vnder temporall or spiritual iurisdiction as aforesaid are troubled or vexed or by any Magistrate assaulted or assailed violently vnder or by what meanes or pretence soeuer it be as if they were seditious Rebels or otherwise as the enemies of God and his Word are wont to doe and daily practise the same as we commonly see The said three Estates of the reformed Religion in the Kingdome of Bohemia vpon the first motion thereof made vnto them by the Princes States of Silesia within one month then next after ensuing shall leuie one thousand horsemen two thousand footmen at the second time the like number and at the third time all the forces in Silesia to aide and assist them and the like shall be done by the Princes and States of Silesia in the Bohemians behalfe if need require Which their said coniunction action and vnity his Imperiall Maiesty shall fully euidently confirm allow 7. In his Maiesties Letters Patents giuen granted to those of Silesia it is likewise expresly signified and set downe that all the Subiects of the Prouinces of Silesia whether they be vnder Spiritual or Temporall Princes Commanders or hereditary Princes of Dutchies Cities Townes and Villages and other Magistrates none excepted shall be therein comprehended in these words That none of them whether they liue vnder spirituall or temporall power iurisdiction shall be compelled to vse any other religion then that they professe neyther shall bee sent away or banished from his dwelling place nor put from his office or dignity for religion or in any sort vexed molested or troubled for his conscience These Letters Patents granted to Silesia were after ours and by vs and our meanes proceeded neyther were they largelier made to them then to vs nor vnto vs then to them yet we as the superior members cannot be of worse or meaner condition besides this the Articles in our Letters Patents are generally compendiously contained but in the Silesian Patent more expresly and particularly declared 8. At the making of his Maiesties Letters Patents touching the Vnion it was not otherwise meant nor intended then that the Cloysters are his Imperiall Maiesties princely goods and reuenues and that he as the superior hath ful power ouer them as it is sufficiently knowne vnto them that then were present at the time of the making of the contract 9. That in the Kingdome of Bohemia the Spiritualty haue no singular state as those of Morauia and other Prouinces haue neyther haue any voyce in Parliament but are distinguished ordered by the Emperors Maiesty among the other States in all things concerning them 10. That all Ecclesiasticall goods be of the Archbishopricke as also of all the rest by superior right are vnder the power and disposition of the Kings of Bohemia as the highest and supremest founders and Patrones thereof 11. That the same Ecclesiasticall goods by the Statutes of the Land D. 40. belong to the Kings Exchequer or reuenew wherefore according to a Statute of the Realm Anno 11. no Colledge nor Cloyster without the Kings cōsent can alienate or change any thing belonging thereunto and if they do pawn sell change or alienate any thing thereof it shall be of no force and that whosoeuer doth take any thing of them in that sort he shall restore the same againe freely vnto the King or to any other to whom it shall please the King to appoint him to doe it 12. That Spirituall men are feodaries and admiuistrators of their temporal goods only for their life-time and so they ought to vnderstand it for that the Kings of Bohemia alwaies had right and power ouer their spirituall goods to sell the same vnto any of the inhabitants of the Land without the consent of the said Spirituall persons and to alienate and make them hereditary and to record them for such in the Records of the Exchequer or Rowles whereof many examples are extant in the reignes of Ferdinando Maximilian and Rodulphus Emperours and Kings of Bohemia FINIS
