manner as aforefaid; the moft Serene Kings, when defir’d and
requir’d by one another, fhall exert all their Power and Study
that fuch Hoftility or Moleftation may ceafe, and that the Loffes
and Injurys done to either of the Confederates may be repair’d.
But if they cannot do it in an amicable way within four Months,

Europe,in whatfoever part of the World it be, is compell’d to

fend the Succours aforefaid to him who is invaded or difturb’d,
and afterwards to join in open War againft the Difturber or
Invader, in the fame manner altogether as if the Invafion or

and ufual Full Powers and Safe Conduft for the other Party, at
the fame time as for himfelf, that he may fecurely fend his
Minifters to the Place appointed for the Treaty, and unlefs he

Matters negotiated in fuch Treaty of Truce or Peace; and neither

Peace or Truce without including the other Confederate in the
fame, and without ftipulating for his Reftoration, if he think fit,
to the Poffefiion of the Dominions, Lands and Places, and of all
his Rights and Immunitys which he us’d and enjoy’d before the
War, and alfo without obtaining for his Confederate from the

Prerogatives, which he bargains for himfelf, unlefs it be other-
wife agreed upon between them.

ofGreat Britain,or the moft Serene King ofSpain,to enter into
any Convention hereafter contrary to this, but alfo that he fhall
not enter into any Treaty without including the other Confeder-
ate in it, if he pleafes, and without fuch a timely Communica-
tion to him of all the Negotiations, that he may declare his
Opinion as to his being included accordingly.

the Romans,as well as other Kings, Princes and States, fhall be
