exercise Martial Law as freely, and in as ample Manner and
Form, as any Captain-General of any 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, lest in so remote and far distant a Region,
every Access to Honours and Dignities may seem to be pre-
cluded, and utterly barred to Men well born, who are prepar-
ing to engage in the present Expedition, and desirous of
deserving well, both in Peace and War, of US, and our King-
doms : 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 Fa-
vours, Rewards, 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 Eng-
land) also to elect and incorporate Towns into Buroughs, and
buroughs into CITIES, with suitable Privileges and Immuni-
ties, according to the Merits of the Inhabitants, and Conven-
ience of the places; and to do 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.

XV. WE WILL also, and by these Presents do, for US, our
Heirs and Successors, give and grant License by this our
CHARTER, unto the aforesaid now Baron of BALTIMORE,
his Heirs and Assigns, and to all Persons whatsoever, who
are, or shall be, Residents and Inhabitants of the PROVINCE
aforesaid, freely to import and unlade, by themselves, their
Servants, Factors or Assigns, all Wares and Merchandizes
whatsover, which shall be collected out of the Fruits and
Commodities of the said PROVINCE, whether the Product of
the Land or the Sea, into any of the Ports whatsoever of US,
our Heirs and Successors, of England or Ireland, or other-
wise to dispose of the same there; and, if Need be, within
One Year, to be computed immediately from the Time of un-
lading thereof, to lade the same Merchandizes again in the
same or other Ships, and to export the same to any other
Countries they shall think proper, whether belonging to US,
ST any foreign Power, which shall be in Amity with US, oar
Heirs or Successors; Provided always, that they be bound to
pay for the same to US, our Heirs and Successors, such Cus-
toms and Impositions, Subsidies and Taxes, as our other Sab-
