land in Aprill 1643. did by vertue of a Commission from me
dated 18. novemb 1641. constitute Giles Brent Esq to be my
Lieutent Grall of my Province of maryland during the absence
of him the said Leonard Calvert out of the Province, or vntill
I or my heires should signify or pleasures to the contrary.
These are to signifie & declare that I doe well approve of my
said brothers act therin, and in confidence of the fidelity &
discretion of him the said Giles Brent I doe hereby ratine &
confirme the said Giles Brent to be my Lieutent Grall of the
said Province, & to exequute all other powers within the said
Province (except hereafter excepted) wch were granted to my
brother in the Commission above mentioned, during my said
brothers absence out of the said Province or vntill I or my
heires shall signifie mine or their pleasure to the contrary,
vnder mine or their hand & scale. Provided neverthelesse &
I doe hereby declare that I will not that the said Giles Brent
shall assent in my name to any lawes hereafter to be enacted
in any Generall Assembly to be held within the said Province,
notwithstanding any thing conteined in the Commission above
mentioned dated 18. novemb. 1641. or in any other Commission
whatsoever, without further authority to be hereafter obteined
for that purpose vnder mine or mine heires hand & scale. And
in case any Lawes have been assented vnto by him the said
Giles Brent in my name in any Generall Assembly wch hath
been held within the said Province since my said brothers de-
parture from thence (viz since the first of Aprill last 1643)
I doe hereby declare my disassent to all & every such law or
lawes wch have beene assented vnto or enacted within the said
Province in my name by the said Giles Brent And because
I intend by the grace of God to come in person my selfe into
the said Province at or before January next after the date
hereof, I thought fitt also for divers reasons to suspend the
granting of any more lands within that Province till my arrivall
there, when I shall take order to grant to every one their due
who have any iust right or claime from me of any lands within
that Province. And therefore I doe hereby also restraine &
revoke that power of granting of any lands in my name by him
