XII. BUT BECAUSE, that in so remote a Region, placed
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,
by themselves or by their Captains or other Officers, to sum-
mon to their Standards, or 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 Ravag-
ers aforesaid, infesting those Parts by 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 ap-
pertain, or have been accustomed to appertain unto the Au-
thority 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 mak-
ing a Voyage to the said PROVINCE of MARYLAND, or in re-
turning 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 Pres-
ents, 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 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 de-
serving 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
