OF MARYLAND

not prohibited to be transported out of the said Kingdoms; and the
same to transport, by themselves, or their Servants or Assigns, into the said
PROVINCE, without the Impediment or Molestation of US, our Heirs or
Successors, or of any Officers of US, our Heirs or Successors, (SAVING unto
Us, our Heirs and Successors, the Impostitions, Subsidies, Customs, and
other Dues payable for the same Goods and Merchandizes) any Statute, Act,
Ordinance, or other Thing whatsoever to the contrary notwithstanding.

    XII. BUT BECAUSE , that in so remote a Region, placed among so many
barbarous Nations, the Incursion as well of the Barbarians themselves, as of
other Enemies, Pirates and Ravagers, probably will be feared, THEREFORE
WE have given, and for US, our Heirs, and Successors, do Give by these
Presents, as full and unrestrained Power, as any Captain-General of an Army
ever hath had, unto the aforesaid now Baron of BALTIMORE, and
to his Heirs and Assigns, by themselves, or by their Captains, or other Officers,
to summon to their Standards, and to array all Men, of whatsoever
Condition, or wheresoever born, for the Time being, in the said Province of
MARYLAND, to wage War and to pursue, even beyond the Limits of
their Province, the Enemies and Ravagers aforesaid, infesting those Parts of
Land and by Sea, and (if GOD shall grant it) to vanquish and captivate them,
and the Captives to put to Death, or, according to their Discretion, to save,
and to do all other and singular the Things which appertain, or have been
accustomed to appertain unto the Authority and Office of a Captain-General
of an Army.

    XIII. We also WILL, and by this our CHARTER, do Give unto the
aforesaid now Baron of BALTIMORE, and to his Heirs and Assigns,
Power, Liberty, and Authority, that, in Case of Rebellion, sudden Tumult,
or Sedition, if any (which GOD forbid) should happen to arise, whether
upon Land within the PROVINCE aforesaid, or upon the High Sea in making
a Voyage to the said PROVINCE of MARYLAND, or in returning
thence, they may, by themselves, or by their Captains, or other Officers,
thereunto deputed under their Seals (to whom WE, for US, our Heirs and
Successors, by these Presents, do Give and Grant the fullest Power and Authority)
exercise Martial Law as freely, and in as ample Manner and Form,
as any Captain-General of an Army, by virtue of his Office, may, or hath
accustomed to use the same, against the seditious Authors of Innovations in
those Parts, withdrawing themselves from the Government of him or them,
refusing to serve in War, flying over to the Enemy, exceeding their Leave of
Absence, Deserters, or otherwise howsoever offending against the Rule, Law,
or Discipline of War.

    XIV. MOREOVER, left in so remote and far distant a Region, every Access
to honours and Dignities may seem to be precluded and utterly barred, to
Men well born, who are preparing to engage in the present Expedition, and
desirous of deserving well, both in Peace and War, of US, and our Kingdoms;
for this Cause, WE for US, our Heirs and Successors, do give free
and plenary Power to the aforesaid now Baron of BALTIMORE, and to
his Heirs and Assigns, to confer Favours, Rewards and Honours, upon such
Subjects, inhabiting within the PROVINCE aforesaid, as shall be well deserving,
and to adorn them with whatsoever Titles and Dignities they shall appoint;
(so that they be not such as are now used in England) also to erect and
incorporate Towns into BUROUGHS, and Buroughs into CITIES, with suitable
Privileges and Immunities, according to the Merits of the Inhabitants, and
Convenience of the Places; and to all and singular other Things in the
Premisses, which to him or them shall seem fitting and convenient; even although
they shall be such as, in their own Nature, require a more special Commandment
and Warrant than in these Presents may be expressed.
