By his majesties Council for VIRGINIA.  
WHereas upon the return of Sir Thomas Dale Knight, (Marshal of VIRGINIA) the Treasurer, Council, and Company of the same, have been thoroughly informed and assured of the good estate of that Colony, and how by the blessing of God and good government, there is great plenty and increase of Corn, cattle, Goats, Swine, and such other provisions, necessary for the life and sustenance of man; And that there wants nothing for the settling of that Christian Plantation, but more hands to gather and return those commodities which may bring profit to the Adventurers, and encouragement to others: And whereas thereupon the Company hath given a Commission to Captain Samuel Argol to be the present Governor of that Colony, who hath undertaken to transport and carry thither a certain number of men, upon his own charge, and the charge of other his friends that join with him in that Voyage; in which, divers men of good quality have resolved to adventure, and to go thither themselves in person, and to carry with them their Wives, their Children and their Families, whereby in short time (by the favour and assistance of Almighty God) that good work may be brought to good perfection, by the division and setting out of lands to every particular person, the settling of trade, and return of Commodities to the contentment and satisfaction of all well affected Subjects, which either love the advancement of Religion, or the honour and welfare of this Kingdom: We his majesties Treasurer, Council, and Company for the same Plantation, have thought good to declare and make known to all men by these presents, that we have resolved to give free leave and licence to any who are now remaining in VIRGINIA, at his will and pleasure to return home into England, which liberty we do likewise grant and confirm unto all those which hereafter from time to time shall go thither in person, without any other restraint, then to ask leave of the Governor (for the time being) to depart. And therefore if any man be disposed to send any supply to his friends there, or to send for any of his friends from thence, he may hereby take notice, that he hath full power and means to do either of them at his good discretion.  
God save the King.
