VIII.

ITem, It is likewise agreed and accorded, that it may be lawfull to haue accesse vnto the Ports of the said Kings, and there to make stay, and from thence with the same liberty to depart, not onely with their Shippes of Merchandises and burthen, but also with other shipping furnished for warre, and prepared to withstand the force of enemies: Whether they shall arriue there either by force of tempest, or for repairing their ships, or for pro­uision of victualls, so as they exceede not the number of sixe or eight ships, when they come in of their owne ac­cord, [Page] nor that they continue nor make stay in the hauens, or about the Ports longer then they shall haue iust cause for the repaire of the same shipping, or for prouision of other necessaries, lest they should be any occasion of interruption vn­to the free Commerce and Enter­course of other friends and Na­tions in Amitie: And whensoeuer any greater number of Ships of war then is before specified, shall haue occasion of accesse into those Ports, then shall it not bee lawfull for them to make any entrance without the priuitie and consent of the King. Prouided also, that they doe no hostile Acte within the said [Page] Ports, to the preiudice of the Kings; but demeane themselues there quietly, as Friends and Con­federates, with speciall caution euer to bee had, that vnder the colour and pretext of Commerce, no war­like ayde, prouision of victualls, or of Armes, or of Munition, or other such like materials for the warres bee carried by the Subiects, Ʋas­sals, or inhabitants of those King­domes, to the commoditie or benefit of the enemies of the one or other King. And whosoeuer shall at­tempt to the contrary, shall be puni­shed with those sharpe paines and punishments, vsed to be inflicted vp­on seditious persons and breakers [Page] of faith and peace. Prouided al­so, that the Subiects of the one in the Dominions and Territories of the other, be not worse handled, then the naturall Subiects in their sales and contracts for their Mer­chandises, as well in respect of the prices, as otherwise, but that the condition of forreiners bee equall and like herein vnto naturall Sub­iects. Notwithstanding any Sta­tutes or Customes to the contrary.

IX.

ITem, It is agreed and accorded, that the said most renowned King of Great Britaine, &c. shall prohibite, and after the confirming [Page] of these present Articles, by Pro­clamation foorthwith prouide, that no one of his subiects, inhabitants, or vassalls, shall Lade, or carry ouer by any meanes, directly, or indirect­ly, in his owne name, or in the name of any others; neither shall lend his Ship or other Vessell for carriage, or vse his name for the transporting or conueying of any Ships, Merchan­dises, Manufactures, or any other thing, out of Holland and Zeland into Spaine, or other the King­domes and Dominions of the King of Spaine; neither shall carry in his Ships any Holland or Zeland Merchant vnto the said Ports, vpon perill of his Maiesties in­dignation, [Page] and other punishments vsually inflicted on the contemners of Royall Commandements. And to the effect, that fraud, which through the likenesse of Mer­chandize might happen, be the bet­ter auoided; It is also prouided in this present Article, that the Mer­chandizes to bee carried and con­ueyed out of England, Scotland, and Ireland, to the Kingdomes and Dominions of the King of Spaine, shall bee registred and sea­led with the Seale of the Towne or Citie from whence they shall be Laden, and that they being so regi­stred and sealed, shall without any difficultie or question whatsoeuer, [Page] bee reputed and held for English, Scottish, and Irish Merchandi­zes, and so respectiuely, according to the Seale or marke, bee allowed and admitted. Alwayes excep­ted, that in case of fraud, proofe shall bee admitted, without stay not­withstanding or let of the course or venting of the Merchandizes in the meane time. And touching such Merchandizes, as shall not bee registred nor sealed, the same are to bee confiscated and taken for good Prize. And likewise all Hollan­ders and Zelanders, which shall be found in the same Ships, may also be tken and detained.

X.

ITem, It is also agreed, that Eng­lish, Scottish, and Jrish Mer­chandises may freely bee conueyed and transported out of the said Kingdomes, into Spaine, and other Dominions of the said most renow­ned King, paying only the Customes and Tolles vsually required.

XI.

ITem, Jt is likewise agreed, that for the Merchandises, which English, Scottish, and Irish Mer­chants shall buy in Spaine, or other the Kingdomes of the said King of Spaine, and shall carry in their [Page] owne Ships, or in Ships hired or lent vnto them (except, as before hath beene said, the ships of Hollanders and Zelanders) no new Customes or Tolle shall bee encreased: yet so as they conuey and carry the same goods and Merchandises to the Kingdomes of the said most renow­ned King of Great Britaine, &c. or to the Ports of the Prouinces being in obedience to the King of Spaine. And for the more surety that fraud be not committed heere­in, and that the sayd Merchandises bee not transported to other places and Kingdomes, and especially into Holland or Zeland, It is conclu­ded, that the said Merchants shall [Page] binde themselues, at the time that they do Lade their Ships in Spaine, or in the other Kingdomes and Dominions of the said King of Spaine aboue declared, before the Magistrate of the place in which they shall Lade, to pay the Impositi­on of thirty in the hundred, in case they carry the same goods and Merchandises to other Domini­ons and Countreys: And to obtaine also within the space of twelue mo­neths following a Certificate from the Magistrates of the places where they shall discharge or vnlade the same goods, testifying their dis­charge to haue beene either in the Kingdomes and Dominions of the [Page] King of Great Britaine, &c. or in the Ports of the Prouinces vn­der the obedience of the said King of Spaine: Ʋpon the exhibiting whereof, the Obligations concerning those matters shall be deliuered vp, vnto the bringers of the same Cer­tificates.

XII.

ANd also that the said most renowned King of Great Britaine, &c. shall prohibite soone after the confirming of this accord, that none shall export any Mer­chandises out of Spaine, or other Kingdomes of the King of Spaine, to be carried to other places, then to [Page] His Maiesties Kingdomes, and the said Ports of the Prouinces in obe­dience, vpon penaltie of confiscati­on of all their Merchandises to the vse of the said King of Great Bri­taine, &c. to be payd into His Ma­iesties Exchequer: Of which Mer­chandises, or the value thereof, one halfe is to be giuen to the Jnformer, the imposition of thirty in the hun­dred being first deducted, to be paid to the Ministers and Deputies of the King of Spaine, & the proofes lawfully receiued in Spaine, and transmitted into England in au­thenticall forme, are to bee credi­ted. And it is also declared, that the said prohibition of goods to be [Page] carried out of Spaine, vnto other places, then the Kingdomes of Bri­taine, and the obedient Prouinces of Flanders, doeth no way compre­hend those Kingdomes and Domi­nions which enioy a free trade with the Kingdome of Spaine: For the Subiects of his Maiestie of Great Britaine, may lawfully transport the goods of the Kingdomes of Spaine, vnto those that haue a mu­tuall trade with Spaine; the afore­mentioned Cautions, Conditions, and Penalties rehearsed in the pre­cedent Articles against the offen­ders, remaining still in force and strength.

XIII.

ITem, That the Magistrates of the said Townes, or Cities of his Maiesties Kingdomes, which shall make Certificates of the vnlading of Ships, and are to giue testimonie of the Registring of the Merchan­dises, shall not commit any fraud therein, vnder perill of indignation of the Kings Maiestie, and paine of losse of their offices, and other more grieuous punishments at the Kings pleasure.

XIV.

THat which hath before beene expressed concerning the free [Page] Commerce, granted vnto the Sub­iects of the said most Renowned Kings, is to bee vnderstood to bee likewise, and in the same manner agreed on for the Subiects of the most Renowned King of Great Britaine, &c. and of the obedient Prouinces of Flanders; To wit, that in all places whatsoeuer, their Subiects are bound reciprocally, to respect, and to fauour each other, and by mutuall kind offices, friend­ly to entertaine the one the other, and that by Land, Sea, and Fresh­waters, without any safe conduct or other licence, generall or speciall, they may vnto the said Kingdomes, Dominions, Lands, Ʋillages, [Page] Townes, Cities, Sea-shores, Ha­uens, Sea-rodes whatsoeuer, freely, safely, securely, come, enter, saile, carry, and recarry their Merchan­dises, buy and sell, remaine, abide and conuerse in the same so long as it shall please them; take vp any kinde of prouision for victuall, and things necessary for sustenance, and for Ʋoyages, at iust and reasonable prices, and there repaire also (as occasion shall require) their Ship­ping and Carriages, whether the same be their owne, or whether they bee hired, or borrowed: As also to depart from thence with like liber­tie, with Merchandises, Goods, and other things whatsoeuer, (the [Page] Customes and Tolles, according to the Statutes of those places being payd) and to dispose, and follow their businesses freely, & to returne at their owne pleasure, either into their owne Countreys, or to any o­ther place, without any impediment or let, so as the Subiects of the most Renowned King of Great Bri­taine, &c. vse not the Shipping of the Hollanders, or the vnited Pro­uinces, and bring not into the obedi­ent Prouinces any of the Manu­factures of Holland, or of the vni­ted Prouinces, bought wheresoe­uer; neither any other thing, for which there was paid in Holland any tribute, nor that they transport [Page] anything from the obedient Pro­uinces, vnto them of those Prouin­ces, vntill a pacification be confir­med: nor that they receiue any the Goods of Hollanders, or of those other places vnited, into their Ships, nor trust any of their owne Goods in the Ships of Hollanders, nor frau­dulently by lending their names, colour the Goods of any Hollan­der, or other of the vnited Prouin­ces: For that if any thing be com­mitted to the contrary, and the same be found, it shall bee held for iust and lawfull Prize.

XV.

AND the aforesaid prouisoes are not onely to be vnderstood of Ships laden, or to bee laden, in cause of Commerce, but also of Ships of Warre, which the said Kings haue, or shall haue armed to represse the attempts of their ene­mies: Insomuch as that it may bee lawfull for such Ships of Warre, not exceeding the number before mentioned, if they happen to be con­strained, either by force of tempest, or for buying of victuals, or other things, or for repaire of Shipping, to vse the same libertie in arriuing, staying, and departing; so that they [Page] doe no bostile act in the said Ports, but demeane themselues honestly, and quietly, as it becommeth confe­derates and friends: And so that they stay and remaine not in, or a­bout the same Ports, any longer then shall bee need full for repara­tion and prouision of necessaries, that thereby they bee not a hinde­rance, or interruption to the free Commerce and Entercourse with other Nations, that are in Amitie and Friendship: But where occa­sion shall fall out of arriuall of any greater number of Shipping then before specified, it shall not be law­full for them to enter, but with the knowledge and allowance of the King.

XVI.

AND as the said Kings doe religiously promise, that they will not at any time yeeld any war-like succour to any of the others e­nemies, So it is prouided, that their Subiects, or the inhabitants in their Realmes, of what nation or quali­tie soeuer they bee, may not vnder colour of Entercourse and Com­merce, nor vpon any other collour or pretence giue any ayde or helpe to the enemies of the said Kings, or of either of them, or conferre or supply them with money, prouisions of Ʋictuals for Warre, Armour, Munition, Ordinance, Artillery [Page] or other warlike prouision, and those which shall doe the contrary, are to take knowledge, that they shall be punished with the seuere punish­ments accustomed to bee inflicted vpon breakers of League, and se­ditious persons.

XVII.

AND that also greater bene­fit may through this Concord come vnto the Subiects of the most renowned King of Great Bri­taine, and of the most renowned King of Spaine, in their obedient Prouinces, It is accorded and con­cluded, that the said most renowned Kings ioyntly and seuerally will doe [Page] their endeauours, that their Sub­iects haue not the passages stopped or letted vnto any of their Ports, Kingdomes and Dominions, that thereby they be not hindered, freely and without impediment to come and goe with their Shipping, Mer­chandise and Carriages (the ordi­nary Customes and Tolles being paid) to all the said Ports, King­domes and Dominions: And with the like libertie (when it shall seeme so good vnto them) with other Merchandises from hence to depart.

XVIII.

BVt as concerning the ancient Treatises of Entercourse and Commerce, whereof diuers are ex­tant, betwixt the Kingdomes of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and the Dominions of the Dukes of Burgundy and Princes of the Low-Countreys, which notwith­standing during the late troubles haue beene intermitted, and perad­uenture in some parts impaired; Jt is agreed by way of prouision. That they shall retaine and haue their an­cient Force and Authoritie; And that they shall bee vsed on both parts as they were before the Warre [Page] betweene Elizabeth Queene of England, and Philip the second, according as it was agreed on in the Treatie of Peace made in the yeere a thousand, sixe hundred & foure, in the two and twentieth Article. And if it happen that either by both parts, or any one part, any breach thereof bee alledged, or that the Subiects shall complaine, that the Conuentions are not obserued, or that more grieuous burdens then were accustomed, are imposed on them, there shall bee Deputies ap­pointed on either part, which may meete, and calling vnto them (if neede be) Merchants experienced in such matters, may friendly [Page] Treate, and equally renew and re­store such things, as shall bee found either to haue slipped out of course, or to haue beene changed by the in­iurie of time, or by corrupt custome and vse.

XIX.

AND for that the rights of Commerce which do ensue by Peace, ought not to bee made vn­fruitfull, as they would bee, if the Subiects of the most renowned King of Great Britaine, &c whilest they haue recourse to and from the Kingdomes and Dominions of the said King of Spaine, and doe re­maine there for Commerce, should [Page] bee molested in the cause of Con­science: Therefore to the intent their Trafficke may bee safe and without danger, as well on Land as on Sea, the said most renowned King of Spaine shal take care, and prouide, that for the said cause of Conscience they shall not bee mole­sted nor inquieted in vsing their Trade and Commerce, so as they giue not scandall vnto others.

XX.

ITem, That if it happen any Goods or Merchandizes pro­hibited to bee carried or conueyed out of the Kingdomes and Domi­nions of the said most renowned [Page] Kings, by the Subiects of the One or of the Other; That in such case, the person onely offending shall in­curre punishment, and the Goods onely prohibited shall bee Confis­cated.

XXI.

ITem, That the Goods of the Subiects, dying within the king­domes or Dominions of either, shall be conserued to the right heires and successors of the deceased; the right of a third person alwayes reserued.

XXII.

ITem, That the Graunts and Priuiledges giuen by the [Page] Kings to Merchants of either of the Kingdomes, comming to their said Kingdomes, and which Priui­ledges through the Warres haue ceased, shall from henceforth whol­ly bee reuiued, and haue their full force and strength.

XXIII.

ITem, If it shall happen hereaf­ter (which God forbid!) that any displeasure doe arise, betwixt the said Most renowned Kings, the King of Great Britaine, and the King of Spaine, whereby dan­ger might grow of the interruption of Entercourse and Commerce, then the Subiects of either King are [Page] thereof so to bee admonished, as that they may haue fixe moneths from the time of the monition, to transport their Merchandizes, without any Arrest, Disturbance, or Hurt in the meane season, to be done or giuen vnto them, either in their persons or Merchandizes.

XXIV.

ITem, That none of the fore­said Kings shall imbarge or stay for their prouision in Warre, or for any other seruice, to the preiudice of the owners, the ships of the Sub­iects of any of the others, being in their Ports, or waters, vnlesse the King of those parties to whom the [Page] Ships doe appertaine, shall first be admonished thereof, and shall also yeeld his consent thereunto.

XXV.

ITem, It is accorded, that if du­ring this Peace and Amity, any thing happen to be attempted, com­mitted or done against the force and effect thereof by Land, Sea or Fresh Waters, either by any of the said Kings, their Heires, and Suc­cessors, their Vassals, Subiects or Al­lies comprehended in this League, or of any the Heires or Successors, of those Allies, their Subiects or Ʋassals; Yet notwithstanding this Peace and Amitie shall remaine in [Page] strength and vertue, and the at­tempters and such as doe offend therein onely, and no other, shall be punished for their attempts.

XXVI.

ITem, That such as haue beene taken in Warre, and are Cap­tiues on either part, although they bee condemned to the Gallies, shall be released and dismissed, the char­ges of the diet of such as are not in the Gallies being first discharged, and the ransomes of such as haue before agreed for the same, being by them payed.

XXVII.

ITem, It is concluded, that all ciuill actions, which at the time when the last warres began, were of Ʋaliditie and of Force, may yet be exercised and pursued, not­withstanding any lapse of time du­ring the same Warre, so as no pre­iudice shall be vnderstood to haue growen vnto them, during the con­tinuance of the Warre, those onely excepted, which are already come to the Exchequer or Princes Treasurie.

XXVIII.

ITem, Jf any controuersie hap­pen to bee mooued in the King­domes and Dominions, of the One or other of these Kings, by any person not being Subiect to the same King, for or vpon occasion of any depredations or spoyles committed; The cause is to bee remitted to the Iudge of the Iurisdiction vnder that King, against whose Subiect or Sub­iects the suit is commenced.

XXIX.

ITem, That if the Hollanders, and other Confederate States will propose conditions of pacifica­tion [Page] with the most renowned King of Spaine and his Successors through the meanes of the most re­nowned King of Great Bri­taine: The said most renowned King of Spaine and his Successors, will alwayes willingly hearken vnto that which shall bee proposed iust and reasonable therein; And will desire that by the helpe of the said most renowned King of Great Britaine: they may bee brought to propose equall conditions, wherein they shall well vnderstand, how much the said King of Spaine doth attribute vnto the authority of the said King of Great Britaine, his louing brother.
