YE, that WE of our especial Grace, certain Knowledge, and
mere Motion, do, by the Tenor of these Presents, give and
grant, as well as to the aforesaid Baron of BALTIMORE, 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 Inhabit-
ing, or of Trading with the Inhabitants of the Province afore-
said, 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 Merchandise, likewise

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 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
