Lemker van Heek avec leurs cachetes A TREATY between the most Christian King the King of Great Britain and the Lords States General of the United Provinces of the Low Countries BE it known to all who shall see these presents That the most serene and most potent Prince Lewis XIV by the Grace of God most Christian King of France and Navarre c. and the most serene and most potent Prince William III. also by the Grace of God King of Great Britain c. and the Lords States General of the United Provinces of the Low Countries having nothing more in design than to confirm by new Obligations that good Intelligence reestablish'd between his most Christian Majesty his Majesty of Great Britain and the said Lords States General of the United Provinces by the last Treaty concluded at Reswick and to prevent by taking timely Measures those Events which may raise new Wars in Europe Have to this end given their full Powers to conclude a new Treaty that is to say his most Christian Majesty to the Sieur Camille d' Hortung Count de Tallard Lieutenant General of the King's Armies and of his Province of Dauphiny Ambassador Extraordinary of France in England and to the Sieur Gabriel Count de Briord Marquiss de Senezan one of his Majesty's Privy Council and his Ambassador Extraordinary to the States General of the United Provinces of the Low Countries his said Britannick Majesty to the Sieur William Earl of Portland Viscount of Cirencester Baron of Woodstock Knight of the Garter and Privy Counsellor to the King and to the Sieur Edward Earl of Jersy Viscount Villars Baron of How Knight Marshal of England first Secretary of State and Privy Counsellor to the King and the said States General to the Lords John van Ersen Burgomaster and Senator of the Town of Zutphen Curator of the University of Harderwye●k Frederick Baron Rheede Lord de Lier St. Anthony Berlee of the Order of the Nobility of Holland and West Frizeland Anthony Hensius Counsellor Pensionary Keeper of the Great Seal and Superintendant of the Fiefs of the same Province William of Nassau Lord d'Odyke Cortigene first Noble and Representative of the Nobility in the Assembly of the States and of the Deputies Counsellor of Zealand Everhard de Veede Ld of Weede Dickvelt Ratteles Ld of the Mannor of the Town of Oudewater Dean and Member of the Imperial Chapter of St. Mary of Vtrecht Dickgrave of the River Rhine in the Province of Vtrecht and President of the States of the same Province William van Harein Grietman du Bild Deputy of the Nobility of the States of Friezland Procurator of the University of Franeker Arnold Lemsker Burgomaster of Deventer and John van Heek Senator of the Town of Groningen all Deputies of the said Lords States General on behalf of Guelderland Holland and West Friezland of Zealand of Vtrecht of Friezland of Overysel and of Groningen and Omelandt who by virtue of the said Powers have agreed to the following Articles Article I. The Peace reestablisht by the Treaty of Reswick between his most Christian Majesty his Britannick Majesty and Lords States General of the United Provinces of the Low Countries their Heirs and Successors their Kingdoms States and Subjects shall be firm and constant and their Majesties and the said Lords States General of the United Provinces of the Low Countries shall reciprocally do what they can to contribute to the advantage and profit of one another II. As the principal object which his said most Christian Majesty his said Majesty of Great Britain and the said States General propose to themselves is that of maintaining the general Tranquillity of Europe they could not without sorrow understand that the state of the King of Spain's Health hath for some time been so languishing that the Life of the said Prince is much feared tho they cannot think upon this Event without trouble because of the sincere and true Love they have for him they have nevertheless thought it the more necessary to consider it because his Catholick Majesty having no Children the business of the Succession will infallibly raise a new War if the most Christian King should maintain his own Pretensions those of Monseigneur the Dauphin or of his Successors to the whole Succession of Spain and if the Emperor should also make good his Pretensions those of the King of the Romans of the Arch-Duke his second Son or of his other Children Males or

Females unto the said Succession III. And as the two Kings and the Lords the States General desire above all things the Conservation of the publick Peace and to prevent a new War in Europe by accommodating the Disputes and Differences which might arise upon the Subject of the said Succession or by the Umbrage of three Estates reunited under one and the same Prince they have thought good to take beforehand necessary measures to prevent the Evils which the sorrowful Event of the Catholick King 's Death without Children might produce IV.
