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 Heredita-
ments whatsoever within our Kingdom of England, and other
our Dominions, to inherit or otherwise purchase, receive, take,
have, hold, buy, and possess, and the same to use and enjoy,
and the same to give, sell, alien, and bequeath; and likewise all
Privileges, Franchises and Liberties of this our Kingdom of
England, freely, quietly and peaceable 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, Molestation, Vexation, Impeachment, or
Grievance of US, or any of our Heirs or Successors; any Statute,
Act, Ordinance or Provisions to the contrary thereof, not-
withstanding.

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 BAL-
TIMORE 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 Mer-
chandise, 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 trans-
port, 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 Success-
ors (Saving unto Us, our Heirs and Successors, the Impositions,
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 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 Captain-General of an
Army ever hath had, unto the aforesaid now Baron of BAL-
TIMORE, and to his Heirs and Assigns, by themselves or by
