Heirs, and Successors, do Give by these Presents, as full and un-
restrained Power, as any Captain-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 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 pur-
sue, 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 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 Authori-
ty 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 Re-
bellion, 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 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 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 of-
fending against the Rule, Law, or Discipline of War.

XIV. moreover, lest in so remote and far distant a Region, ev-
ery Access to Honours and Dignities may seem to be precluded,
and utterly barred to, Men well bom, who are preparing to en-
gage in the present Expedition, and desirous 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 and
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 in-
corporate 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 Premisses, which to him or
them shall seem fitting and convenient; even although they shall
be such as, in their own Nature, require a more special Com-
mandment and Warrant than in these Presents may be ex-
pressed.

XV. we will also, and by these Presents do, for US, our Heirs
and Successors, give and grant Licence by this our CHARTER,
unto the aforesaid now Baron of BALTIMORE, his Heirs and
Assigns, and to all Persons whatsoever, who are, or shall be Re-
sidents and Inhabitants of the province aforesaid, freely to im-
port and unlade, by themselves, their Servants, Factors or As-
signs, all Wares and Merchandizes whatsoever, which shall be
collected out of the Fruits and Commodities of the said prov-
ince, whether the Product of the Land or the Sea, into any the
Ports whatsoever of US, our Heirs and Successors, of England
or Ireland, or otherwise to dispose of the same there; and, if
Need be, within One Year, to be computed immediately from
the Time of unlading thereof, to lade the same Merchandizes
again, in the same, or other Ships, and to export the same to any
other Countries they shall think proper, whether belonging to
US, or any foreign Power which shall be in Amity with US, our
Heirs or Successors: Provided always, that they be bound to pay
for the same to US, our Heirs and Successors, such Customs and
Impositions, Subsidies and Taxes, as our other Subjects of our

Kingdom of England, for the Time being shall be bound to pay,
beyond which we will that the Inhabitants of the aforesaid
province of the said Land, called MARYLAND, shall not be
burdened.

XVI. and furthermore, of our more ample special Grace, and

Jurisdictions, Liberties, and Privileges, unto such Ports respect-
ing, as to him or them shall seem most expedient: And, that all

ing to, or going from the province aforesaid, for the Sake of
Merchandizing, shall be laden and unladen at such Ports only as

BALTIMORE, his Heirs and Assigns, any Usage, Custom, or
any other Thing whatsoever to the contrary notwithstanding.
saving always to US, our Heirs and Successors, and to all the
Subjects of our Kingdoms of England and Ireland, of US, our
Heirs and Successors, the Liberty of Fishing for Sea-Fish as well
in the Sea, Bays, Straits and navigable Rivers, as in the
