AD. THE ENGLISH VOYAGES 



1582. 



you the Generall shall take into your hands at your 

 returne to this our coast of England, leaving with them 

 no copie, and to present them unto us at your returne : 

 the like to be done if they finde any charts or maps in 

 those countreys. 



19 Item you shall at your returne so direct your 

 course, that all the ships under your government may 

 come home together, and arrive here in the river of 

 Thames, if it may conveniently be. And wheresoever in 

 this Realme you, or any of the shippes shall arrive, you 

 shall give speciall and stra'ght order, that no person of 

 what condition soever he be, shall unlade, or bring on 

 land, or forth of the vessels in which he came, any part or 

 parcel of marchandize, or matter of commoditie brought 

 in any of the sayd vessels, untill we being certified of 

 your or their arrivall, shall give further order and 

 direction therein, under the penalties and forfeitures 

 expressed in the fifteenth article, against such as shall 

 retaine any thing to their private use, as in the sayd 

 article is further expressed. 



20 Item, to the intent that all such persons as shall go 

 with you in this voyage, may better understand what they 

 ought to do, and what to avoid, we thinke it requisite, 

 that aswell out of these, as otherwise with the advise of 

 your Assistants and Masters of the ships, you shall cause 

 some convenient order to bee set downe in writing for 

 their better government both at sea and land, if they shall 

 happen to goe on lande any where : and the same to bee 

 openly read and made knowen unto them, to the intent 

 they may understand how to behave themselves, and 

 upon any fault committed, not to have any excuse to 

 pretend ignorance, and so to avoid such punishment as it 

 is requisite to have ministred for the keeping of them in 

 good order. 



21 And to the end God may blesse this voyage with 

 happie and prosperous successe, you shall have an 

 especiall care to see that reverence and respect bee had 

 to the Ministers appointed to accompanie you in this
