That there be a Christian Universal and perpetual Peace and true Friendship between his Imperial Majesty and his Successors the Sacred Roman Empire his Hereditary Kingdoms and Dominions Subjects and Vassals on the one part and his Most Christian Majesty and his Successors Subjects and Vassals on the other part and that the same Peace be so sincerely observed and cultivated that neither Party shall contrive or promote any thing to the Damage or loss of the other under any pretence whatsoever or give any Aid or Assistance to any Person or Persons that would design or put in Execution any thing to the detriment of either under what denomination soever it be or receive protect or assist the Rebellious or Seditious Subjects of each other upon any account whatsoever but rather that each Party shall seriously promote the Honour Advantage and Interest of the other notwithstanding any Promises made to the contrary and any Treaties and Leagues which way soever made or to be made which are hereby annulled II.

their former State in respect to Honour and Goods as it was before the War began excepting in those things which upon account of Ecclesiastical Benefices Moveables and Incomes are particularly specified in the following Articles III.
