ince under the danger of a bond of that nature, he is very sen-
sible of his former miscarriages, which he desires may be
wholy imputed to his ignorance & incapacity of dischargeing
what was imposed upon him & not att all to any willfull
designe he had of bringing a mischiefe upon the inhabitants
& Province of Maryland; in which place he earnestly desires
quietly to enjoy what he has there, & to end his dayes in that
Countrey And because I have no desire that the said True-
man should imagine I have the least malice or prjudice to his
person, & that he should see that what I formerly did order
was only occasioned by the great exigency of affaires att that
tyme I am inclined & willing to shew him favour herein by
giveing you order hereby to discharge him from his Recog-
nizance of the good behaviour And you are therefore hereby
fully authorized and impowered to see that he be discharged
from the same; hopeing that his future behaviour carryage
& comportmt towards my Governmt & the people there may
deserve this kindnesse & favoure shewn him by
Yor affec: friend to his power
