sent to Copenhagen free of expence, when an op¬

man’s Isles, so that they may not by their in¬ 
triguing disturb the public peace and tranquillity, 
unless they can give security for their future good 
behavior.

dangerous period; therefore we promise to pay all 
their salaries and pensions to clergymens’ widows, 
and also to improve their present situation as 
much as possible. 
8 . That the country shall be set in a proper 
state of defence, without additional taxes on 
the nation. 
9. That a person shall be invested with full 
power to conclude a peace with his Majesty, the 
King of Great Britain.
