... And tho by the precedent general Rule it may be
easily judg’d who those are, and how far the Restitution extends; nevertheless,
it has been thought fit to make a particular mention of the following Cases
of Importance, but yet so that those which are not in express Terms nam’d,
are not to be taken as if they were excluded or forgot. ...
... For the greater Firmness of all and every one
of these Articles, this present Transaction shall serve for a perpetual
Law and establish’d Sanction of the Empire, to be inserted like other fundamental
Laws and Constitutions of the Empire in the Acts of the next Diet of the
Empire, and the Imperial Capitulation; binding no less the absent than
the present, the Ecclesiasticks than Seculars, whether they be States of
the Empire or not: insomuch as that it shall be a prescrib’d Rule, perpetually
to be follow’d, as well by the Imperial Counsellors and Officers, as those
of other Lords, and all Judges and Officers of Courts of Justice. ...
... That it never shall be alledg’d, allow’d, or admitted,
that any Canonical or Civil Law, any general or particular Decrees of Councils,
any Privileges, any Indulgences, any Edicts, any Commissions, Inhibitions,
Mandates, Decrees, Rescripts, Suspensions of Law, Judgments pronounc’d
at any time, Adjudications, Capitulations of the Emperor, and other Rules
and Exceptions of Religious Orders, past or future Protestations, Contradictions,
Appeals, Investitures, Transactions, Oaths, Renunciations, Contracts, and
much less the Edict of 1629. or the Transaction of Prague, with its Appendixes,
or the Concordates with the Popes, or the Interims of the Year 1548. or
any other politick Statutes, or Ecclesiastical Decrees, Dispensations,
Absolutions, or any other Exceptions, under what pretence or colour they
can be invented; shall take place against this Convention, or any of its
Clauses and Articles neither shall any inhibitory or other Processes or
Commissions be ever allow’d to the Plaintiff or Defendant. ...
