for themselves, in any part of our empire that they think fittest for
their purpose; and, at their departure, may sell the same at their
pleasure.

merchant at his discretion, our laws to take no hold of their persons or
goods.
5. We command all our subjects trading with them for any of their
commodities, to pay them for the same without delay, or to return their
wares.
6. For such commodities as they have now brought, or may bring
hereafter, that are fitting for our proper use and service, we command
that no arrest be made thereof, but that a fair price be agreed with the
cape merchant, according as they may sell to others, and that prompt
payment be made on the delivery of the goods.
7. If, in the discovery of other countries for trade, and the return of
their ships, they shall need men or victuals, we command that our

may require.
