MARYLAND MANUAL 611
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 Suc-
cessors, or of any officers of US, our Heirs or Successors,
(SAVING unto Us, our Heirs and Successors, the Imposi-
tions, 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.
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

Captain-General of an Army ever hath had, unto the afore-

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

MARYLAND, or in returning thence, they may, by them-

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 free-

General of an 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
