<OPENER><SIGNED>CHARLES R.</SIGNED></OPENER>
<P>_HIs Maje&s;ty taking into His &s;erious con&s;ideration the great detriment which the Navi|gation of the&s;e His Maje&s;ties Kingdoms was daily expo&s;ed to, by the injuries &s;u|&s;tained from the Ships of War belonging to <HI>Argier, Tunis,</HI> and <HI>Tripoli,</HI> was gratiou&s;|ly plea&s;ed (out of the tender regard He hath to the good of Trade and Navigation) at a great expence of Trea&s;ure, to &s;end a Fleet into the <HI>Mediterranean</HI> Seas, which it hath plea&s;ed Almighty God &s;o to pro&s;per, as to bring that Vndertaking to the de&s;ired i&s;&s;ue of Peace, on terms honourable and advantagious to the Trade and Navigation of the&s;e His Maje&s;ties Kingdoms. For the Pre&s;ervation whereof, (in which as well His Maje&s;ties Honour, as the welfare of His good Subjects, is &s;o nearly concerned) His Maje&s;ty, by and with the Advice of His Privy Council, hath thought fit to Command the &s;ame to be forthwith Printed and Publi&s;hed; And His Maje&s;ty doth hereby &s;trictly Charge and Command, That the &s;aid Articles of Peace between His Maje&s;ty and the City and Kingdom of <HI>Argiers,</HI> and Territories thereof, concluded by Sir <HI>John Law&s;on</HI> Knight, according to In&s;tructions received in that behalf, And al&s;o the Articles of Peace concluded by the &s;aid Sir <HI>John Law&s;on</HI> the Fifth day of <HI>October 1662.</HI> between His &s;aid Maje&s;ty and <HI>Ma|homet Ba&s;&s;a</HI> the <HI>Duana</HI> of the City of <HI>Tunis, Hage Mu&s;tapha Dei, Morett Bei,</HI> and the re&s;t of the Soldiers in the Kingdom of <HI>Tunis,</HI> And al&s;o the Articles of Peace concluded by the &s;aid Sir <HI>John Law&s;on,</HI> the Eighteenth of <HI>October,</HI> One thou&s;and &s;ix hundred &s;ixty and two, between His &s;aid Maje&s;ty and <HI>O&s;man Ba&s;&s;a,</HI> and the people of the City and Kingdom of <HI>Tripoli,</HI> be by all His Maje&s;ties Subjects of what degree or qua|lity &s;oever, duely ob&s;erved and performed, upon pains of the mo&s;t &s;evere puni&s;hments due to the con|temners of His Maje&s;ties Commands, and violaters of Publick Faith. For the more exact ob&s;ervation whereof, and for &s;ecuring the honour of the <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> Navigation (to which it would be a great blemi&s;h, if per&s;ons or goods received into their Protection, &s;hould by the Commanders of any <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> Ships be with|out re&s;i&s;tance delivered into the hands of their enemies) His Maje&s;ty hath thought fit, and hereby doth Command, That when any of His Maje&s;ties Subjects &s;hall receive on board the Ships under their Com|mand, any <HI>Turks,</HI> or their Goods, they &s;hall to the utmo&s;t of their power, by fighting or otherwi&s;e, pre&s;erve and defend them again&s;t any what&s;oever. For the more effectual execution whereof, and to the end that the Con&s;ul and other His Maje&s;ties good Subjects re&s;iding within the Territories of <HI>Argiers, Tunis</HI> and <HI>Tripoli,</HI> may not be expo&s;ed to make reparation for &s;uch lo&s;&s;es as the <HI>Turks</HI> may have received in that kind by the fault of others, His Maje&s;ty doth hereby Order and Command all Ma&s;ters of Ships belonging to any of His Dominions, to give, and doth hereby Authorize and Require the <HI>Engli&s;h</HI> Con&s;uls in the <HI>Turki&s;h</HI> Do|minions, to demand and receive Security for the doing and performing thereof accordingly. And in ca&s;e any Ma&s;ter of a Ship &s;hall refu&s;e to give Security, His Maje&s;ty doth hereby Impower the &s;aid Con&s;ul to re&s;train him from receiving any <HI>Turks,</HI> or their goods on board his Ship or Ve&s;&s;el. And whereas by the re&s;pective Articles of Peace it is agreed, That the Pa&s;&s;es of the High Admiral of <HI>England</HI> for the time being &s;hall be &s;ufficient evidence that the Ship belongeth to His Maje&s;ties Subjects, and that upon producing thereof the Ship &s;hall be &s;uffered to pa&s;s without further mole&s;tation, whereby all pretences of diverting the Ships of His Maje&s;ties Subjects from their intended cour&s;e, in order to further examination, may be taken away; which as it is of great convenience and ea&s;e of His Maje&s;ties Subjects, &s;o the abu&s;e thereof might be of ill con&s;equence, if Foreigners &s;hould by indirect means procure the &s;aid Pa&s;&s;es, or counterfeit the &s;ame, whereby not only the benefit of the Peace which His Maje&s;ty hath with expence of &s;o much Trea|&s;ure obtained for His own Subjects, &s;hould be derived to &s;trangers, but al&s;o occa&s;ion of breach might be gi|ven to the <HI>Turks,</HI> upon &s;uppo&s;ition of wilful abu&s;e therein by His Maje&s;ties protecting others then His own Subjects: For the preventing thereof, His Maje&s;ty hath not only given Order that no Pa&s;&s;es &s;hall be granted, but upon <HI>Affidavit</HI> made that the Ship belongeth to His Maje&s;ties Subjects, and no other, but al&s;o that Counterparts of the &s;aid Pa&s;&s;es &s;hould be &s;ent to the re&s;pective Governours of <HI>Argiers, Tunis</HI> and <HI>Tripoli,</HI> &s;o as each of their men of War may carry with them one of the &s;aid Counterparts, whereby the counterfeiting of Pa&s;&s;es will be rendred ineffectual to &s;uch as &s;hall attempt the &s;ame. And for the ea&s;e of &s;uch of His Maje&s;ties Subjects as dwell remote from His Maje&s;ties City of <HI>London,</HI> His Maje&s;ty hath given Order, That upon <HI>Affidavit</HI> made before the Magi&s;trate of any City or Town-Corporate, and Certifi|ed under their Common Seal to His High-Admiral of <HI>England</HI> for the time being, a Pa&s;s &s;hall be granted without further trouble; Whereof His Maje&s;ty willeth all His good Subjects to take notice.</P>
