Imperial Edict Seeks Food Supply controls and Dutch Forces

In 1653 dispatches describe a demand that dewianphs may not be tested in the Empire until the Scares of the Eampire are met. The Raaperour orders circles and cities to provide rewards and payments under a late Duke of Lorrain agreement or face compulsion.
