The fourteenth article of union as amended was again read, as also the clause offered to be added to the said article inserted in the minutes of the last sederunt, as to the exemption from any other customs, excises, taxes or any other burdens or duties than those consented to in this treaty and, after debate, there were two states of a vote proposed, the first in these terms, approve of the article as amended or not, and the second in these terms, approve or amend, and before voting, it was agreed that the members shall be marked as they shall vote in both votes, and that the list of their names shall be recorded and printed accordingly.

Then it was put to the vote which of the two shall be the state of the vote, first or second, and it carried first.†
