Whereas the Colony of Surinam and the Articles made upon the Surrender thereof 1667. betwixt William Biam then Governour thereof for His Majesty of Great Britain and Abraham Quirini Commander for the States General have in the Execution of them administred much occasion of Dispute and contributed much to the late misunderstanding betwixt His Majesty and the said States General to remove all grounds of future Mistakes the said States General do by these Agree and Covenant with the said King of Great Britain That not onely the fore-named Articles shall be Executed without any manner of tergiversation or equivocation but that likewise it shall be free for His Majesty to Depute one or more persons thither to see the Condition of His Subjects there and to adjust with them a time for their departure And that it shall be lawful for His Majesty to send one two or three Ships at one time and thereon to embarque and carry away the said Subjects their Goods and Slaves And that the then Governour there for the States General shall not make or execute any Law whereby the buying or selling of Land paying of Debts or commutation of Goods shall be otherwise qualified to the English then it hath or shall be to all other Inhabitants of the Colony but that during their stay they shall enjoy the same Laws and Priviledges of suing for Debts and paying their Debts making Bargains and Contracts as hath been usually practised amongst the other Inhabitants And that whensoever His Majesty of Great Britain shall desire of the States General sufficient and authentique Letters to the Governour of the said Colony to suffer the said English to depart and permit the coming of the said Ships the said States General shall within the space of fifteen days after such demand deliver unto whomsoever Deputed by His Majesty of Great Britain for that purpose full and sufficient Letters and Instructions to their Governor there for permitting the arrival of the Ships as well as the embarquing of such of His Majesties Subjects as shall declare themselves willing to go away with their Goods and Slaves to be Transported where His Majesty shall direct VI.
