Our border agents and magistrates are to refuse entry to all beggar-Jews, and warn them of mandatory corporal punishment, should they enter these lands. 3. Those who surreptitiously still sneak in, shall not be lodged by anyone, and innkeepers shall denounce them to their town official, as well as enlist other townspeople and ensure that the Jew is brought to court. No prosecution shall occur against those who use brute force against such Jews in order to secure them for justice. Should the town and court officials not be able to obtain sufficient information from such a Jewish prisoner, they may use torture to ascertain where the Jew entered the country and where he has stayed thus far, so that the Jew-enablers, too, may be prosecuted and fined.

It was also ordered that Jews who did not make these compulsory contributions, not be allowed to do business or be appointed to any of these royal positions, much less remain in Vienna.

Even though an edict, published on November 26, 1700, regulated what and how much the Jewdom may take from their lent monies by way of interest; so we nevertheless grant them herewith, that following the example of the Jews at Halberstadt, they may take two goslars weekly per thaler, but not more, under avoidance of our penalty, much less add the compound and profit to the principal, nor seek any other advantage from it. […] 11. Furthermore, we have similarly decreed: that when a protected Jew wishes to keep and settle more than one of his children here, this should be granted, although the other child should own at least one thousand thalers, but the third, at least two thousand thalers, and that the second child shall submit fifty thalers, and the second child one hundred thalers, for their concession and freedom, and moreover, that such a child, in addition to the above, shall submit an attestation by the elders of their community, as to the net worth and righteous way of life of the child, so that the Jewdom in these lands shall not be dragged into poverty by the poverty of another, nor be burdened.
