De Vrede van Rijswijk (Aankomst der afgevaardigden op het Huis Nieuwburg) 1697 Rijswijk, 1856 - De kooplieden hier te lande, in de eerste plaats te Amsterdam, begeerden in het belang van den handel het herstel van den vrede. En de regeering van Amsterdam deelde deze neigingen. Maar Frankrijk wilde dien vrede liefst op den voet van den wapenstilstand van 1684 of desnoods op dien van den vrede van Nijmegen, terwijl Willem III tot dien van Munster, Spanje tot dien der Pyreneën wilde terugkeeren en het duitsche Rijk ten minste Straatsburg hoopte te herwinnen. De erkenning van Willem III als koning van Engeland, de teruggave der door Frankrijk in bezit genomen rijkslanden, het lot van Luxemburg, de regeling in Italië waren de hoofdpunten, waarover men beraadslaagde. Zoo gelukte het eindelijk om in het begin van 1697 onder zweedsche bemiddeling in Den Haag de preliminairen voor dien vrede vast te stellen. Na heel wat gehaspel kwam men eindelijk overeen het vredescongres voort te zetten in het huis Nieuwburg onder Rijswijk, eigendom van Willem III, dat door zijn bouworde gelegenheid gaf om de partijen tijdens de besprekingen van elkander gescheiden te houden. Zoo werd dan de vrede gesloten. Maar Willem III sprak na het einde van de onderhandelingen in September het profetische woord uit: ‘ick beken, dat de manier my niet weinigh en bekommert voor het toekomende’. (Bron: DBNL P.J. Blok, Geschiedenis van het Nederlandsche volk, deel 3)
