PROVIDED always, that no Interpretation thereof be made,

Allegiance due to US, our Heirs and Successors, may in any
wise suffer by Change, Prejudice, or Diminution; although
express Mention be not made in these Presents of the true
yearly Value or Certainty of the Premisses, or any Part

Heirs and Predecessors, unto the said now Lord BALTI-
MORE, or any Statute, Act, Ordinance, Provision, Procla-
mation or Restraint, heretofore had, made, published, or-
