By the which Peace, and the Preliminary Articles thereof, It is, among other things, agreed, That all War and Acts of Ho&s;tility betwixt the two Nations &s;hall cea&s;e, and that the People and In|habitants of each party re&s;pectively, &s;hall treat each other with mutual Friend&s;hip and af|fection, and that neither of them, their Subjects or People, &s;hall do, or attempt any thing, in any Place, by Sea or Land, or in the Ports or Rivers of either, to the prejudice of the o|ther, nor adhere to, or entertain the Rebells or Fugitives of either, in any their Lands or Dominions.
