Summary (also from the next page)

The new king of Wadjo, Tadanri, had not yet sworn to uphold the special contract from 1670 between the East India Company and his kingdom. The Company insisted in a letter to His Highness on April 9, 1717 that King Tadanri needed to accept and swear to the contract before he could be recognized as king and accepted into the alliance. However, this remained unsuccessful due to His Highness of Makassar's opposing view. His Highness wanted to invalidate this requirement, arguing that it should not be demanded from King Tadanri. He believed this demand would cause great upheaval among the allies because the contract was originally only sworn by Aroe Matouaij, king of Tosora (who was always the first among the kings of Wadjo). None of the subsequent kings had renewed this oath, suggesting the contract had lost its power.
