their Captains or other Officers, to summon 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 Ravagers aforesaid, infesting those
Parts by Land and by Sea, and (if GOD shall grant it) to van-
quish 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 accus-
tomed 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 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, Deserters, to the Enemy,
exceeding their Leave of Absence, flying over or otherwise how-
soever 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 precluded, and utterly barred to Men well born, who
are preparing to engage in the present Expedition, and de-
sirous 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, 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 do all and singular other Things in the Premises, which
to him or them shall seem fitting and convenient; even although
