WHereas there hath fallen out an interruption of Amity, between the King's Majesty, and the most Christian King, which the common Friends, and ancient Allies of both the Crowns, have earnestly laboured to repair, by propounding and negotiating a reconcilement between them upon honourable considerations, as well to their Kingdoms, as the general estate of Christendom: The King's Majesty thereupon considering how pleasing it is to Almighty God, and necessary to the present constitution of public affairs, to have Concord and good Intelligence with such as he his Neighbours, and are further so nearly allied unto him, hath renewed the ancient Amity betwixt the two Crowns, their Realms, Countries, City's Towns, Lands, Dominions, Territories, Signiories, Castles, and Subjects by Land, Sea, and Fresh-waters: By which Peace it is already provided, that all Hostility and War, aswell by Sea as Land, shall cease on either party, from the fourteenth day of April last, and that the said Kings, and their Subjects, shall live together in Peace, and that it shall be lawful for their said Subjects, freely, peaceably, and quietly to go, come, remain, and to use and exercise their Trade and Commerce, and do all things else whatsoever in each others Countries, as freely as it hath been done in any former time of Peace had between the said Realms, and according to the ancient Treaties and Alliances between them, with opening of safe and free Trade betwixt the King's Dominions, according to those Treaties. And it is further ordained by the said Peace, in regard there are many Ships at sea with Letters of Marque, which cannot so soon take knowledge of this Peace, nor receive direction to forbear Hostility, that as whatsoever hath been, or shall be done, during the space of two months after the said fourteenth of April last, shall not derogate from, nor hinder the said Peace of the two Crowns; so whatsoever hath been, or shall be taken within the aforesaid time, shall be restored, as well on the one side as on the other. All which premises, His Majesty hath thought meet to notify to all manner of His Subjects, of what estate soever the same be, strictly chargeing, and commanding them to observe, perform, and accomplish all that hereunto belongeth, as it is certainly promised to be published on the French Kings side, the date of these presents being the tenth of May, 1629.
