 of privateers fhall give fecurity before they receive their commiflions, 

 for £1,500 fterling, if their veffels carry fewer than 150 men, or for 

 X^3,ooo, if they carry a greater number, to fatisfy all fuch damages ; and

21) It is agreed, that neither party will permit their fubjedls or citizens 

 to accept commilfions from the enemies of the other, nor permit fuch

 only for what is permitted to be fold.

 lutely neceflary for going to the nearefl: port of the prince or fiate they
