A N D, because in so remote a Country, and situate near many barbarous
Nations, the Incursions as well of the Savages themselves, as of other
Enemies, Pirates and Robbers, may probably be feared; Therefore we have
given, and for us, our Heirs and Successors, do give Power by these
Presents to the said _William Penn_, his Heirs and Assigns, by
themselves or their Captains, or other their Officers, to levy, muster
and train all Sorts of Men, of what Condition soever, or wheresoever
born, in the said Province of _Pensilvania_ for the Time being, and to
make War, and to pursue the Enemies and Robbers aforesaid, as well by
Sea as by Land, even without the Limits of the said Province, and by
God's Assistance to vanquish and take them, and being taken to put them
to Death by the Law of War, or to save them at their Pleasure, and to do
all and every other Thing which unto the Charge and Office of a
Captain-General of an Army belongeth, or hath accustomed to belong, as
fully and freely as any Captain-General of an Army hath ever had the
same.
