XVIII .

Injurias tam personales quam reales sub hasce inducias incidentes una pars de alterâ non vindic abit , salva jurisdictione ordinariâ cujusque partis , sed justitia ab officialibus & M●gistratibus competenter requiratur , eademque indilata administretur , severae poenae in violatores pacis , fide public â roboratae exerceantur : nullaque repressaliae aut arresta , tâm terrâ quâm mari ratione cujuscunque injuriae ( ●●si justitiae pluribus vicibus legitimè repetita non administretur , ) admittantur & si qua ante hoc bellum sive etiam durante b●llo concessa sunt , cassentur : ita tamen , ut quibus concessa sunt , justitia administretur .

Ad eundem modum Serenissimus Elector Brandenburg , Dux in Prussia , Dux Churlandiae , & ex Ordinibus Regalis Prussiae Civitates Majores literas tuas Reversales , quibus Securirati . S. R.

I.

LEt the Peace , betwixt the High and Mighty Prince Vladislaus the fourth , King of Poland , Duke of Lettow , &c. our gratious Lord and Master ; his Majesties successors , Kings of Poland , and great Dukes of Lettow ; as also the Kingdome of Poland , and great Dukedome of Lettow , on the one party , and the High and mighty Princesse and Lady , the Lady Christina , designed Queene of the Swedens , Goths and Vandals great Princesse of Finland , &c. Her Majesties successors Kings of Sweden , as also the Kingdome of Sweden , on the other party : be continued from this day forward , for XXVI . yeares to come ; to be accounted from the date of these presents , untill the first of Iuly , ( old style ) in the yeare of our Lord 1661.

II.

Let there be an utter forgetfulnesse of all fore-passed matters , on both sides . And , in the first place , let his sacred Majesty , and the Kings his successors , as also the whole Kingdome of Poland , and great Dukes of Lettow : abstaine during the whole time of the said Peace , from all manner of hostility against the Queene and kingdome of Sweden ; and the Countries , Castles , Cities and Territories , mediately or immediately belonging unto them : yea , and neither by themselves or any others , Let them complot , attempt , or cause to be attempted any thing , in derogation or infringement of these Articles . In like manner , Let her Majestie the Queen , with the Kings her successors , & Kingdome of Sweden , forbeare for all the time of this Peace , from all actions of hostility against the King and Kingdome of Poland , and great Dukedome of Lettow ; and against all the Countries , Castles , Cities , and Dominions , either mediately or immediately subject unto them ; yea , and neither by themselves or by any others , let them complot , attempt , or cause to be attempted , any thing in derogation or infringement of these Articles .

III.

Let her Majestie and Kingdome of Sweden , restore unto his Majesty and Kingdome of Poland , all that part of Prussia , as yet in their possession . Yet so , that the Pillaw be immediately restored unto the Elector of Brandenburgh . Duke in Prussia , to be holden by the same right , as before this warre he still enjoyed it .

IV.

But in restoring of places ; let this one thing be observed , that upon the Ratification ( of this Peace ) by the King of Poland , caution being also laid in by the States , as also by certaine Polish Commissioners by Act of Parliament sent from the Common-wealth unto the Kings presence , with assurance of delivering the Ratification ( of this present Peace ) of the Common-wealth so soone as conveniently may be : Marienburg with the * greater Jland , The Gosie Werder by Marienburg . Stum , Brunsberg , and Tolkemit , with their Territories , the ( Swedish ) garrisons being first drawn our ; be rendred up into the hands of the Commissioners of the King and Kingdome of Poland . But as for Haubt and Junckertreil , let them be demolished even with the ground , in presence of certaine Deputies for both parties ; the lands and goods belonging to them being restored to their owners . Let the Armies also on both sides be drawne off , within that time , in the same order and manner as shall be agreed upon betwixt both the Generals . As for Elbing and the territory antiently belonging to it , with the lesser Iland , and the Fortifications therein erected ; as also the Pillaw , with that part of Neringen which belongs unto it ; her Majesty and the Kingdome of Sweden may so long keepe possession of them , untill the foresaid Ratification of the Kingdome of Poland be obtained . Which being tendred , her Majesty is to deliver up these places also within 14. dayes , and to draw out all her Garrisons , without hurt-doing to the inhabitants . This being therewithall observed , that all the Fortifications erected about Elbing , bee left in the same state they now are , and under the same government as before these warres .

V

After the restitution of all places , let the tributes be reduced into the same state and right they were in before these warres : equality being in every thing observed , as before times .

VI.

All Acts , Iudgements , and Decrees , upon what instance or sentence soever passed : all Writings , Contracts , Transactions , and all Actions , which are no way derogatory unto the publike State , as it was before these warres , or which are not by expresse words excepted in this present Agreement ; however concluded , either in the time of Warre or Truce , by the authority of the Magistrate and judicially ; or otherwise besides the formalityes of the Law : let them remaine in as full strength as if all had been done when things were in their former condition ; and as if no alteration , either in the Government or of the Magistrates . had happened .

VII .

So much as either party had in their possession in the Country of Leifland , during the time of the last sixe years Peace : let them still keepe possession of for all the twenty sixe yeares following .

VIII .

Whatsoever Cities or Territories , with their Magistrates , Commons , and Inhabitants , and Subjects in generall , which the King and State of Poland have heretofore received under their protection ; let them henceforth grant free pardon unto ; yea and afford favour , and protect them with the same clemency and grace , as heretofore : and let all and every of them enjoy the same possessions , Rights , Priviledges and Customes , ( as well generall and common as speciall ) without exception , which before the beginning of these warres they have enjoyed . And especially let the City of Elbing be conserved in the right and usage of the Seale of the Lands of Prussia , and in the accustomed Seate of Iustice : it having , in the first place , taken the Oath of Fidelity to the Kings Majesty : the exercise of the Evangelicall religion being left free in the restored places , as it heretofore hath flourished : yea and the exercise of the Catholike religion , being left free also ; especially in the Parish Church of the old towne of Elbing ▪ as it was before these warres .

IX .

All Actions against those persons , which in any kinde have taken part with their Majesties the King and Queen of Sweden , or that are accused to have sided with them ; of what condition or degree soever they be , whether they have lived as private men , or have borne any office , or any way beene employed in the service of their said sacred Majesties , or of the kingdome of Sweden , whether the said Actions be already commenced or intended so to be , let them be let fall presently : and if any be already passed , let them instantly be disanulled and debarred of all further execution for ever . Nor let any man be thereby engaged to put in Answer to any adversary , upon such things as have beene done in the time either of Warre or Peace ; which have fallen out upon occasion of the said Warre or Peace . And if that contrary hereunto , any suit already be commenced or adjudged , or any Sentence or Order of Law in the absence of the party be obtained , let it wholly be made word & of no value .

X.

If any person or persons be not willing longer to remayne in the restored Cities or Territories ; but rather to change his dwelling and remove unto another place : let him have free leave within three yeares from the date of these presents , either to sell outright , let to farme to others , or otherwise at his or their pleasures to dispose of his estate , without any hindrance or taxation upon any pretence to be imposed on them : the ancient Rights and Customes of the Citizens , being still preserved .

XI .

Whatsoever Exiles now out of Sweden , and living among the Polish Nation , that have sometimes followed the party of their Majesties the Kings of Poland , be willing , upon any occasion , to returne into their owne Country : let them desire Letters of Safe-conduct ; which being obtained , they may freely enjoy the benefit of the Lawes and Statutes of the Kingdome of Sweden .

XII .

In such places , as are at any time by vertue of this present Agreement to be restored ; let all the Church-moveables at this time found in them , bee faithfully left unto them . That is to say , sacred Vessels and Vestments , Bels , and other Ornaments serving for the Church : as also the Books of their Courts of Chancerie , their Patents and Publick Acts. But if any of them through the injury of the times have beene pillaged by the Souldiours , or by others negligence have beene spoyled : let no further inquiry be made into it , nor any man obliged to restitution . As for those peeces of Canon and great Ordnance , which at the time of the taking were found , and are yet remayning , in any of the Cities or places that are to be restored , let them be there left unto them .

XIII .

As concerning those goods , which in the time of these warres have be the Law of Atteinder been taken from any person ; or which have been confiscated , or bestowed upon other : it is thus agreed upon That is to say , that the Immoveable goods belonging either to the King or State , or else unto 〈◊〉 private person , which are actually already given away , on either side : if so be they be already deliver dup , into the possession of these to whom they were given : let t em be again restored to th● former owners : but if possession be not already given of them , let them still remayne unto their owners : all Questions and Actions in regard of any Rents received for them , either of the goods of private men , or of the State ; from henceforth for ever ceasing . As for those Grants or Gifts of moveable goods , made on either side ; if actuall possession have not thereupon beene delivered , let the grants become void : but as for such as have been delivered , let them be still left unto the present possessors . All Actions , also , in their names ceasing , and all Bonds becomming voide ; which by such Acquitances may be discharged , as either by the Kings Lieutenants , or by the Officers of their Majesties Chamber , or by the Donors themselues , have authentically and without fraude beene given ; provided , that by some authentick writing of payment heretofore made ; there may be a Constat of those Donations .

XIV .

Let the ancient Commerce betwixt either Kingdome and the subject Provinces , be againe restored ; and from hence in their ancient Freedome conserved : and let every thing returne into the same estate , wher in they were before these warres : and these discharged from all such novell Impositions and Taxations , as have these warres beene laid upon them .

XV.

Let the passing of Merchandises out of the great Dukedome of Lettow , by the River Duna , by no means be no longer hindred : yea , and let the same rates of Customes hereafter be upon that River , which were before the Warres .

XVI .

Let all such Fugitive Subjects of the great Duke dome of Lettow , and Dukedome of Curland , as are found in Liefland , be retured to their owne Lords : which , on the other side , ought also to be done , with the Fugitive Subjects out of Liefland , into the great Dukedome of Lettow , and the Duchy of Curland .

XVII .

Let all the Armies ( excepting the Garrisons ) be on both sides drawne out of the Country within the time appointed : and the Swedish Army to passe away by Sea . But in case they should not be furnisht of shipping enow by the time appointed , for wafting over of the Horse ; that then the said Horse-forces should have free passage and unmolested , to march over-land , the neerest way into their own Dominions : so be it were without wrong-doing unto such Inhabitants , as either mediately or immediately be Subjects to the Crowne of Poland . Which condition is also to be observed , if any Foot of the Swedish Army shall be cashiered : present Iustice being bona fide to be administred by the Commanders , unto such as suffer losse , or receive injury by them .

XVIII .

Injuries , whether personall or reall , falling out within the time of this Peace ; shall not one part revenge upon another ; the ordinary Iurisdiction of each Party being preserved : but Iustice shall orderly be demanded of the Officers and the Magistrates : which without delaying , let it forthwith be administred . Let severe punishment be inflicted upon the violaters of this Peace : which by the publick Faith and Honour is now confirmed . And let no Reprisals or Arrests , either by Sea or Land be allowed ; done upon pretence of any injury whatsoever ; unlesse that Iustice hath often been demanded , and not administred .

XIX .

But if any waighty occasion shall fall out , which may seeme to concerne the breaking of these Articles ; let Commissioners be on either side appointed : who meeting in some designed place upon the Frontiers of Liestland may decide the late risen Controversies .

XX.

For the more security , and that nothing contrary unto this Agreement , may during this Peace by any man be committed ; let the States of the Kingdome of Poland , and great Dukedome of Lettow , passe their promise , and engage their Faiths for the King of Poland , his Brothers , and their Successors ; that for all the time of this Peace , they shall not complot to do any thing , either out of Poland and the great Dukedome of Lettow , nor out of any of the Countries and Dominions subject unto them : much lesse that they shall actually attempt any action of hostility , against the Queens Majesty or the Kings her Successours , and the Kingdome of Sweden ; or against the Dominions , Countries , Cities , Castles , Forts and Territories object unto them : yea , and in case the King or hi● Brethren , &c. should attempt any such matter ; let the States be hereby engaged , to hinder and to prevent it .
