Kingdome
,
together
with
the
aforesaid
incorporated
Prouinces

considering

that
at

the
state
of

is
yet
very
vnquiet
,
and
the
greatest
part
thereof
laid
waste
and

We

with

ordinarily

by
euery

next
generall
Assembly
of
the
Confederates
,
shall
bee
truely
set
downe
,
and
made
knowne
.
But
hauing
better
considered
of
the
welfare
of
the
common
cause
,
Wee
are
content
to
encrease
the
said
summe
with
the
value
of
fifty
thousand
Dollers
of
70.
Krutzers
the
peece
,
in
ready
money
.
But
yet
that
it
shall
be
held
,
reckoned
,
and
accounted
,
to
proceed
only
from
Our
good
wills
and
neighbourhoods
,
for
the
maintenance
and
securitie
of
the
aforesaid
Kingdoms
and
Prouinces
,
and
that
the
said
summe
shall
not
be
employed
,
but
only
for
the
payment
of
the
Garrisons
,
and
the
defence
of
the
Borders
of
the
same
,
as
also
that
there
shall
bee
certayne
Commissioners
appointed
specially
to
looke
vnto
it
.
And
if
it
shall
so
fall
out
,
that
the
said
Borders
shall
haue
any
need
or
occasion
(
as
being
ready
to
decay
)
to
be
repayred
and
fortified
,
We
will
not
be
slacke
(
as
Confederates
)
to
enlarge
and
encrease
some
contribution
towards
the
same
,
as
by
friendly
request
made
by
the
Lords
of
Hungaria
,
shall
be
motioned
and
desired
.
7.
Seuenthly
,
specially
,
and
before
all
things
it
is
necessary
,
that
peace
should
not
bee
renewed
with
the
Turke
,
but
only
an
ambassage
,
motion
,
and
treatie
;
agreed
vpon
and
constantly
continued
,
and
therefore
from
all
the
Kingdomes
and
confederated
Prouinces
,
there
shall
be
some
sent
to
the
Ottomans
countrey
,
to
renew
,
determine
vpon
,
and
strengthen
the
said
peace
.
Touching
the
counsell
,
and
furthering
of
this
good
and
most
necessary
businesse
,
his
Maiestie
hath
of
himselfe
vndertaken
the
care
and
proceeding
thereof
,
and

send
his
particular
ambassage
,
as
also
that
ours
of
the
Kingdome
of
Bohemia
and
the
Prouinces
bordering

it
,
and
that
then
euery
one
for
his
part
take
order
for
and
prepare
the
Presents
,
and
other
costs
and
charges
,
that
shal
be
necessary
and
conuenient
,
for
the
setting
forth
of
the
same
ambassage
.
8.
Eightly
,
the
confederated
Princes
&
Lords
,
to
shew
their
good

true
neighbourhood
,
to
their
Confederates
&
Allies

continuall
strife
.
9.
Ninthly
,
vpon

made

,
and
the
States
of

)
vntill
this

with-holden
(

true
members
of
the
said
Kingdome
)
and
now
at

of
Hungaria

The

will
take
order
,
that

conclusion
,
and
will
therein
bee
Mediators
and
helpefull
,
that
the

be
restored
againe
.
10.
Tenthly
,
In
the
confederated
Prouinces
and
Kingdomes
,
in
euery
place
,
when
and
where
they
will
,
they
shall
all
hold
generall
meetings
and
assemblies

respect

Customes
of

,
Commonalties
,
and
Persons
of
the

shall
on
both
sides
bee
maintayned

.
11.
Eleuenthly
,
that
the
bond
of
amitie
betweene
the
Confederates
may
bee
the
stronger
:
The
value
of
the
Mint
shall
bee
made

Kingdomes
,
and
confederated
Prouinces
,
and
the
Moneyes
with
good

limitation
on

Minted

and
that
in

of

after
the
assembly
of
the

Kingdoms
)
a
certaine
limitation
and

the
greater
moneyes
,
and
that
the
smaller
moneyes
and
the
grossest

shall
hold
all
one
course
,
whereof
it
shall
bee
needfull
that
a
Publication
should
be
made
in
all
Kingdomes
.
12.
Twelftly
,
If
in
processe
of
time
any
difference
or
question
,
touching
the
Contract
of
the
League
,
should
chance
to
happen
;
the

Kingdomes
and
Prouinces
,
vpon

and
there
it

Plaintife

To
the
end
,
that
any
such
waightie
difference
,
which
by
chance
may
happen
among
the
confederated
Kingdomes
and
Prouinces
,
may
openly
and
speedily
be
agreed
vpon
and
ended
:
and
in
Hungaria
,
the
King
,
Prince
Palatine
,
and
the
Councell
of
Bohemia
,
&
other
confederated
Lords
,
shal
be
appointed
as
Protectors
in
that
case
,
and
in
whom
the
fault
shall
first
be
found
,
to
appease
and
pacifie
the
same
.
13.
Thirteenthly
,
That
by
a
most
strict
and
perpetuall
Law
it
shall
be
ordayned
and
prohibited
,
that
in
no
places
of
the
confederated
kingdomes
and
Prouinces

Commonwealth

,
Prince

;
that
also
they
shall
not
bee
preferred
to
any
dignitie
,
vnder
what
pretence
soeuer
they
shall
be
called

,
vpon
payne
of
notable
disloyaltie
and
perpetuall
banishment
.
The
execution
whereof
shall
bee
referred
to
the
States
of
the
Kingdome
or
Prouince
,
wherein
the
offender
,
in
this
case
,
shall
haue
had
his
residence
.
14.
Fourteenthly
,
When
any
helpe
for
the
warre
,
or
protection
against
any
enemie
of
the
confederated
Kingdomes
and
Prouinces
,
shall
be
required
and
sought
for
,
and
to
that
end
be
sent
into
this
Kingdome
,
or
to
the
confederated
Prouinces
,
the
chiefe
Commanders
shall
haue
their
dependance
from
the
King
of
Bohemia
,
the
Burgraue
,
the
principal
Captaynes
of
the
Prouinces
,
Presidents
,
Collonels
,
and
generall
Captaynes
,
and
shall
proceed
in
their
affaires
against
the
enemy
by
common
consent
.
And
such
Souldiers
as
are
sent
to
aide
them
,
shall
certainly
bee
paid
by
them
that
sent
them
,
and
thereby
bee
held
in
better
order
,
seruice
,
gouernment
,
&
obedience
,
that
they
may
not
haue
any
pretence
or
seeme
to
be
sent
,
rather
for
the
spoyling
and
ouer
throwing
,
then
the
defending
,
of
the
Gentlemen
,
common
people
,
and
the
Countrie
:
and
specially
,
according
to
the
confederacy
,
they
must
not
bee
suffered
to
spoile
Noblemens
houses
,
free
towns
,
Churches
,
Parishes
,
and
Hospitals
.
And
lastly
,
that
all
such
shall
by
the
confederated
Lords
in
their
owne
Kingdomes
and
Prouinces
,
bee
enquired
after
,
and
discharged
of
their
seruice
.
15.
We
haue
thought
it
good
and
conuenient
,
as
also
the
other
Lords
of
the
confederacie
,
that
if
any
books
of
the
affaires
of
the
Kings
priuiledges
,
or
any
written
Copies
,
touching
the
Kingdome
and
the
confederated
Prouinces
,
in
former
times
kept
in
any
place
(
especially
after
the
restitution
of
the
holy
Crowne
of
the
Kings
of
Hungaria
)
in
Bohemia
,
or
in
Austria
,
or
that
may
there
be
found
,
that
speedily
,
vpon
the
first
request
made
,
all
and
euery
one
of
them
shall
be
giuen
againe
,
and
without
any
delay
truly
deliuered
to
the
States
to
whom
they
belong
.
16.
And
that
among
vs
,
all
mutuall
fidelity
,
friendship
,
good
will
,
and
diligent
neighbourhood
and
confederated
League
,
may
bee
obserued
and
vpholden
.
If
at
this
present
there
be
any
hostilitie
,
betweene
,
or
among
the
confederated
Kings
,
Princes
,
kingdomes
,
Prouinces
,
and
their
States
,
and
Inhabitants
,
from
this
time
forward
,
it
shall
,
and
must
be
wholly
ended
,
and
for
euer
left
off
and
forgotten
.
17.
And
if
any
man
shall
presently
or
hereafter
be
iudged
to
be
banished
,
from
,
or
out
of
one
kingdome
or
Prouince
of
the
Confederates
,
he
shall
not
be
receaued
into
,
nor
entertayned
in
any
other
of
the
kingdomes
or
Prouinces
in
the
said
Confederacie
,
but
in
like
sort
shall
bee
banished
from
thence
:
And
further
,
in
all
the
consederated
kingdomes
,
hee
shall
bee
held
and
accounted
to
be
a
banished
man
,
and
it
shall
not
auaile
him
,
that
without
the
knowledge
of
the
other
kingdomes
and
Prouinces
,
he
hath
againe
beene
pardoned
and
receiued
into
grace
and
fauour
(
nouerthelesse
,
reseruing
the
authoritie
of
Kings
and
Princes
,
of
restoring
such
persons
againe
into
the
grace
and
fauour
of
their
kingdomes
and
Prouinces
,
with
the
consent
of
the
States
thereof
.
)
But
if
any
such
banished
person
or
offender
,
shall
chance
to
haue
fled
into
,
and
faued
himselfe
in
any
of
the
confederated
kingdomes
or
Prouinces
,
and
shall
therein
be
found
,
the
principalest
of
that
Kingdome
or
Prouince
,
shall
(
as
aforesaid
)
bee
bound
,
without
any
exception
or
excuse
,
simply
and
truly
,
to
send
that
banished
and
wicked
person
,
to
that
kingdome
or
prouince
,
wherein
hee
receaued
that
iudgement
of
banishment
and
punishment
.
Lastly
,
Euery
King
or
Prince
(
now
,
or
in
time
to
come
)
of
the
kingdomes
and
Prouinces
,
that
haue
made
and
confirmed
this
League
of
confederacy
,
and
promised
that
they
will
doe
their
best
to
vphold
and
maintayne
the
same
,
and
gouerne
his
kingdome
accordingly
,
shall
by
their
force
,
power
,
and
protection
,
proceeding
from
the
same
,
with
the
consent
of
the
States
thereof
,
freely
vse
the
same
against
all
their
enemies
.
And
if
contrary
to
all
hope
and
meaning
,
any
of
them
both
,
against
the
freedome
of
Religion
and
publique
priuiledges
therein
granted
,
shall
doe
to
the
contrarie
,
thereby
seeks
to
subuert
and
ouerthrow
them
;
in
that
case
the
States
thereof
shall
be
free
and
discharged
of
their
homage
and
oath
of
fidelitie
,
and
shall
haue
full
power
and
perpetual
authoritie
to
speake
against
them
and
to
resist
them
,
&
for
that
cause
shall
not
by
any
man
bee
blamed
or
accused
of
treason
:
and
for
the
maintayning
of
this
Confederacy
,
by
all
and
euery
particular
person
that
is
receaued
thereinto
,
as

,
the
King

,
at

of

,
shall
take
a
solemne

,
that
he
will

,
and
be

thereunto
.
Therefore
