to the Boarde this day, which was likewise accordingly done.
Now their Lordshipps having heard and maturely considered
the sayde propositions, answers and reasons, and whatsover
else was alleaged on either parte, did think fit to leave the Lord
Baltimore to his Patent and the other Partie to the course of
Lawe according to their desire; but for the preventing of
further questions their Lordshipps did also think fit and order
that things standing as they doe, the Planters on either side
shall have free traffique and commerce each with other, and
that neither parte shall receive any fugitive persons belonging
to the other, nor doe any Act which may drawe a warre from
the Natives upon either of them; and lastly that they shall
sincerely enterteine all good correspondence and assist each
other on all occasions, in such manner as becometh fellow-
subjects and members of the same state.
Ex. F: Dickenson.

wee have lately receaved a Petition from your Lordshipp's
government and the rest of the Planters in Virginia which we

and you, and you should agree in anything that may concerne
the good and advancement of that plantation, which order our
pleasure is shall be duly observed on both sides.
Now forasmuch as the said Lord Baltimore intends to trans-
port to that part called Maryland, which wee have given him,
a good number of our subjects who upon their arrivall and
during the infancy of his plantation may perhaps have occasion
to use the friendly helpe and assistance of you, and the rest of
the old Planters there, in many occasions, for theire better
support in that remote part of our dominions wee therefore
well approving his good endevors, and intending the further-
ance of his undertaking, doe hereby will and require you to use
the said Lord Baltimore as well with that Courtesie and
respect, that belong to a person of his rank and qualitie, and
departed from hence with our speciall licence and in our very
good grace and favour as also to suffer his servants and
Planters to buy and transport such Cattell and other commo-
dities to their Colony, as you may conveniently spare at
reasonable rates and in all other things to hold that good
correspondence with him and his planters, and to give them
