there, or hereafter to be born, be and shall be natives and
Liege-Men of US, our Heirs and Successors, of our Kingdom
of England and Ireland; and in all Things shall be held,
treated, reputed, and esteemed as the faithful Liege-Men of
US, and our Heirs and Successors, born within our Kingdom
of England; also Lands, Tenements, Revenues, Services, and
other Hereditaments whatsoever within our Kingdom of Eng-
land, and other our Dominions, to inherit or otherwise pur-
chase, receive, take, have, hold, buy, and possess, and the same
to use and enjoy, and the same to give, sell, alien, and be-
queath; and likewise all Privileges, Franchises and Liberties
of this our Kingdom of England, freely, quietly and peace-
ably to have and possess, and the same may use and enjoy in
the same Manner as our Liege-Men born, or to be born within
our same Kingdom of England, without Impediment, Moles-
tation, Vexation, Impeachment, or Grievance of US, or any of
our Heirs or Successors; any Statute, Act, Ordinance, or Pro-
visions to the contrary thereof, notwithstanding.

XI. FURTHERMORE, That our Subjects may be incited to
undertake this Expedition with a ready and cheerful Mind;
KNOW YE, that WE of our especial Grace, certain Knowl-
edge, and mere Motion, do, by the aforesaid Baron of BALTI-
MORE, and to his Heirs, as to all other Persons who shall
from Time to Time repair to the said Province, either for the
sake of Inhabiting, or of Trading with the Inhabitants of the
Province aforesaid, full License to Ship and Lade in any the
Ports of US, our Heirs and Successors, all and singular their
Goods, as well moveable as immoveable, Wares and Merchan-
dize, likewise Grain of what Sort soever, and other Things
whatsoever necessary for Food and Clothing, by the Laws
and Statutes of our Kingdoms and Dominions, 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, of any officers of US, our Heirs
or Successors (Saving unto US, our Heirs and Successors, the
Impositions, Subsidies, Customs, and other Dues payable for
the same Goods and Merchandizes), any Statute, Act, Ordi-
nance or other Thing whatsoever to the contrary notwith-
standing.

among so many barbarous Nations, the Incursions, 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 Cap-
tain-General of an Army ever hath had, unto the aforesaid
now Baron of BALTIMORE, and to his Heirs and Assigns,
