WHEREAS the moft Serene and Potent Prince and Lord, the Lord Frederick III. by the grace of God, King of Denmark, Norway, the Vandals and the Goths, Duke of Slefwic, Holftein, Stormar, and Ditmarfh, Earl of Oldenburg and Delmenhorft, confidering the many great ties of friendship and alliances, by which the Danish and English nations have been engaged to each other for fo many ages paft, and how convenient and neceffary it is in every respect, that this friendship and confederacy fhould be corroborated and increafed by farther reciprocal offices of friendship, did, for that end, fend the noble Lord Henry Williamfon Rofenwinge, governor of the monaftery of Draxe Marchienfis, and his extraordinary deputy, to the most Serene Lord Oliver the Protector, and to the republic of England, Scotland, and Ireland; who, out of a defire and affection to concur to the fame purpose, and to remove every impediment which might obftruct the prefervation of a fincere and mutual friendship, and in any wife hinder the promoting of commerce on both fides, has been pleased to give it in charge to us the underwritten privy counfellors of his Highness, to treat with the faid lord deputy; and by virtue of our commiffions exhibited on both fides, and several conferences held from one time to another, we have at length agreed and concluded the following articles. I. That from this day, there fhall be a firm, entire, and fincere friendship, peace, and confederacy, as well by land as by fea, and on the rivers, between the King and kingdom of Denmark and Norway, and the Protector and republic of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and the dominions, countries, and cities under both their dominions, and the people, inhabitants, and fubVOL. I. F jects jects of each, of what rank and dignity foever they be; so that neither party fhall by themselves or others, do any thing directly or indirectly, or, as far as lies in their power, fuffer any thing to be done, to the lofs or detriment of the other, but the one fhall affift the other with all good offices, and promote the advantage and benefit of the other to their utmost. II. That there fhall be a trade, navigation, and free commerce between the fubjects of the King of Denmark and Norway, and the people of the republic of England, in the kingdoms, dominions, countries, provinces, emporiums, and harbours of either, according to the regulation which is hereafter more clearly explained. And the magiftrates, and other governors and officers of places, fhall ufe their greateft diligence that the fame may be used and enjoyed on both fides, freely and fecurely, without any let or moleftation. III. The people, fubjects, and inhabitants of both the confederates, of whatsoever degree or condition, fhall treat one another in all things courteously and amicably, fo that whenever they please, they may have free accefs by land or water to each other's countries, territories, towns walled or unwalled, fortified or not fortified, harbours, and dominions; and there, without any impediment, buy what provifions they want for their ufe, excepting thofe colonies, islands, harbours, and places under the jurifdiction of either, to which navigation or trade is prohibited, without fpecial leave or license first obtained from the other party to which fuch colonies, islands, harbours, and places belong. But in all other places, it fhall be entirely free for both nations to trade and traffic in whatsoever merchandize they fhall think fit, and the fame to carry, fell, or export when and whither they please; provided they pay the customs, and faving all the laws and ftatutes of either's dominions. IV. That all offences, difputes, and controverfies, arifen between the King of Denmark and the republic of of England, or done and committed by either party, or the people and fubjects of either, by reafon or on account of the detaining of any English fhips, together with their lading, in the Sound, fince the 18th of September, 1652, fhall, by virtue of this treaty, cease, and be condemned to perpetual oblivion, in fuch manner, that neither of the faid parties fhall profecute or in any wife moleft the other on account of fuch detainer, or for any injuries and damages thereby occafioned. Provided nevertheless, and be it understood, that this article fhall not extend, nor be conftrued to extend, to the refcinding or weakening of that contract in the 28th and 29th articles of the late treaty of peace, between his Highness the Lord Protector, and the Lords the States General of the United Provinces, for restoring the ships therein mentioned, together with their lading, and making good the damages as therein expreffed; but the faid contract fhall remain firm and intire, and shall be duly and truly performed and fulfilled, according to the proper and genuine fenfe and meaning of the faid articles. V. That neither of the faid parties, nor the fubjects or people of either, fhall by land or fea, or elsewhere, act, do, endeavour, negotiate, or attempt any thing against the other, or the subjects and people of the other, nor give, lend, administer, or confent to the giving, lending, or administering of any affiftance or favour to the fugitives or rebels of the other; but both parties fhall exprefsly and effectually oppose, refift, and really hinder all and every perfon and perfons living or refiding in the dominions of either, or happening to be in the dominions of either the one or the other, who fhall act, do, negotiate, or attempt any thing against the other. Nor fhall either of the parties receive or fuffer any of the rebels or fugitives of the other to be received in their dominions, territories, and countries, harbours, bays, or districts; nor fhall give, lend, or grant to any fuch fugitives or rebels, either within or without their territories, lord |
