In the name of the holy and indivisible Trinity! As a result of the great events that have overtaken Europe in the last three years, and in particular of the benefits that Divine Providence has poured out upon the states whose governments have set upon it their sole faith and hopes, Their Majesties the Emperor of Austria, the King of Prussia and the Tsar of Russia have become deeply convinced of the necessity of founding their mutual relations on the elevated truths taught by the imperishable religion of the divine Saviour. They thus solemnly declare that the sole goal of the present agreement is to announce to the whole world their unshakable decision to take none other commandments than those of justice, love and peace as the guideline for their actions in the internal administration of their states and in their political relations with all other governments. Far from only being relevant to private life, these commandments should indeed have a direct influence upon the decisions of rulers and guide all their steps, so that they may promote the long life of human institutions and remedy their imperfections.
