Invictissimi Rudolphi II. Electi Romanor. Imperatoris, et In Hungaria Boemiaque Regis, pro libero exercitio religionis Augustanae confessionis in Silesia, clementissima confirmatio

in accordance with this our Confirmation and Majesty, just as it sounds in all articles, opinions, and clauses: and that they themselves shall not be an impediment to them: much less concede that others should do so. And if there is anyone besides, whether from the spiritual or secular estates, who dares to transgress this our Assurance and Letters of Majesty, they shall apprehend that person, and each one of them, as A DISTURBER OF THE COMMON PEACE, in our place and by their own, by the office committed to them by Us or by our oft-remembered successors, and thus firmly guard, protect, and defend our oft-named faithful Princes and Estates. And all these things [are commanded] to avoid our indignation, most grave punishment, and displeasure, as well as that of our successors and those who will reign in the future in Bohemia and as supreme Princes in Silesia. Everything [is done] without deceit and fraud. For the sake of testimony and greater security and faith, we have fortified these [presents] with our attached greater Imperial and Royal Seal: Given in our Royal Castle of Prague, on the twentieth day of the month of August: after the birth of Christ our Lord and Savior, one thousand six hundred and ninth: of our reigns, the thirty-fourth of the Roman, the thirty-seventh of the Hungarian, the thirty-fourth of the Bohemian.

Rudolph.
