As the County Palatine of the Rhine and their co-conspirators in the Minneburg League have been justly banned for their treacherous collusion with the evil Kingdom of France against our great Empire, we, Philip II, Most Catholic King of All Spains; King of Castile, of Aragón, of the Two Sicilies, and of Jerusalem; Archduke of Austria; Grand Duke of the Netherlands; Duke of Burgundy, of Milan, and of Savoy; Head of the House of Hapsburg; Imperial Vicar and Viceroy of Italy; etc., etc., have taken it upon ourselves to undertake the sworn duty of all good and loyal members of the Empire to see banned criminal states pacified before they can do any further damage.
