Poropotanck the 30th Decemb: 1684.
Gentl:
I reed: yours of the 3d instant, wherein I find that you lay
greate accusations to Capt Allens charge; that he should
endeavour to divert the Inhabitants of your Province from
their due obedience to the Lord Baltemore their Lawfull
Propry as likewise that he should threaten many of the
Inhabitants
I am apt to beleive as to the former, you may be misin-
formed, w'soever you are to the latter, judgeing that he that
hath soe many yeares faithfully discharged his duty to his
King, knows that wch belongs to Superiors I have acquainted
him with what you have insisted on, and have ordered him to
give all due respect to your Governmt in the circumstance he
is in. As to what you intimate concerning seizeing of shipps
not qualified according to act of Parliament; what he seizeth
by vertue of those Acts undoubtedly belongs to his Majtie I
