from pressing the same any further he only insisted earnestly that the said point of abrogating the stample might be inserted in the Regall Mandates for the calling of the next Parliament to be with the other heads considered of in their preparatoriall conventions or Land-dayes as t 〈…〉 y call them for choice of deputies that so the result might not be longer evaded by a Plea of ignorance or want of instruction touching the matter in question a thing usual amongst them and this also was largely promised The point which came to be discussed in the next place was the restitution of the Prussian Land-Seale to the Citie of Elbing after which the deduction of the army of the Suethes was handled Neither did it cause small contention for the Suethes required that their forces might have free passage into Pomerania through the Polish territorie they promising a strict observation of Military discipline the Commissioners of Poland would have them will they will they to depart as they came by Sea all arguments being used and no meane of compounding found it was by them referred to their Kings determination from whom they might expect an answere of their letters the next day The Mediators remained in the village that night to ease themselves their servants and horses of the daily travell The next day being the eleventh Congresse the Regall resolution was expected untill ten of the forenoon and not to lose time the foresaid difficulties being set apart the other Conditions were taken into discussion by either of the parties by reason that the King being gone to Dantzig it was conceived his resolution would hardly be brought in three daies The Articles for the free return of the exiled Suethes living in Poland into their native Country as also the restitution of their Goods movable and immovable were that day transacted concerning which the Curious are referred to the Articles of the Treaty Upon the day following which made the twelfth meeting the Mediators proceeded with the parties to the examination of the Conditions remaining which caused a new scruple with the Suethes by reason of an uncertain rumour that Duke Radzivill great Generall of Lithuania had lately upon the expiration of the first Truce made entrance into Leifland and taken certain places and Townes The Suethes who had concluded the Article about the retaining of Leifland according to the form of the former Treaty That each party should possesse the same during the Truce in the same manner he then possessed it desired of the Mediators that in regard the form aforesaid was in generall and obscure termes wherby they might sustain prejudice a clause might be added that if any places in Leisland had been taken of either side during the present Treaty they should be restored This restriction seemed strange unto the Poles yet affected them rather with laughter then anger they solemnly affirming that they were ignorant of what was done in Leifland and that they did not beleive the Duke to hav emade a progresse so advantageous as was vulgarly reported but alledged withall that the Conventions ware wholly repugnant to that clause and that what had once been concluded by agreement ought not to be altered that for them in case they had been so fortunate to restore those things they had obtained by a favourable chance of War would expose them to the scorne of all men The Mediators that they might make a timely remove of this rub remonstrated that forasmuch as the first prorogation of the Truce had beeen continued from the month of July to that present of August from time to time by the consent of parties it was no lesse to be understood for a cessation of hostility in Leifland then in Prussia and that they had ever beleived according as it had been reported unto them that Couriers had been from time to time dispatched into Leifland to that effect That if nothing but the truth were affirmed the request of the Suethes seemed unto them wholly consentaneous to reason and to the publike faith given so oftentimes reiterated and that they therfore earnestly intreated them not to go upon captious advantages shewing that they had been already enough and over-much troubled about the precedent differences The Commissioners of Poland being moved with these remonstrances yet having no power of themselves to dispose of the matter they referred it also to the King whose pleasure therin they desired to receive The other Articles were afterwards from noon to night throughly discussed and therein amongst other things the Polish Lords earnestly urged that the first condition of their side concerning a Treaty for perpetuall Peace during the present Truce to be appointed at a certain time and place as hath been before expressed might be included in the Acts of this Treaty with sundry other things formerly by them exhibited Lastly a Prorogation of the cessation was agreed unto for foure daies The meeting was resumed the day following being the 13th and therein the Commissioners of Suethland vigorously opposed the inserting of the foresaid Article into those of the present Treaty for Truce chiefly for this reason that the Treaty for a perpetuall Peace having been already deserted and in lieu therof this Negotiation of Truce undertaken they could not as then say ought therto and therfore seeing that their Commission of treating about the same was expired they could not admit of any particular mention therof in the Articles of the present Treaty nor prefix any place or time but added that forasmuch as they certainly knew their Queen would never be averse to such a Treaty they consented to a generall mention therof such as had been in the former Truce for the six years now expired This distinction being intimated to the Polanders they were somewhat chafed but his Lordship propounding that either the Duke of Courland or of Pomerania might be entreated to take the matter on them as Sollicitors or Intermediators their intervention was not unacceptable to those of Poland nor the addition made by the Suethes that in case the Treaty of perpetuall Peace should not succeed according to the generall wishes either at the first or so often as it should be undertaken the present Truce should notwithstanding remain firme and unviolable untill the end of the terme prefixed by these Articles The Kings answer concerning the three forespecified points to wit the Prussian Land-seal the way of Deduction for the Army of Suethes and the restitution of places if any taken in Leifland during the present Treaty was not yet come so as the Mediators being inforced to patience betook themselves to their severall Retreats The fourteenth meeting was now come but not the Kings answer in the meane time the Mediators endeavoured to agree that point of the deduction of the Army but could not The Polanders refused the same for these two reasons cheifly First that by granting it they should seeme willing to give way to the
