THese are to certify you that the Bearer hereof, by name Angelus jacobi, a Merchant of Cyprus, sailing out of Egypt into Crect, fell most unfortunately into the hands of Turkish Pirates, who not only robbed and spoilt him of his Goods and Merchandises, but also took from him his Wife and Children, and as yet keep them in Slavery and bondage, not to be redeemed till the said Angelus jacobi pay their several Ransoms. Wherefore, We out of our Princely compassion, taking pity o● the miserable estate and condition of this poor Christian, as also being moved thereunto by the example of other Princes, who by their Letters witnessed unto us the truth hereof, which cause we deferred unto the Right Reverend Father in God, George, Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, Metropolitan of all England, who did approve of the same, having granted and permitted him by Our Letttrs Patents, to ask, collect, and gather the charitable Alms and Benevolence of Our well disposed Subjects, during the time of his continuance in these Our Realms. And for that he now desireth to return into Cyprus, his own Country, We have granted him these Our Letters for his safe conduct in his journey both by Sea and Land, as shall be most convenient, as also that you by whom he shall pass, might the rather be moved to relieve him by your Christian Charity: So shall you lay up your Treasure in heaven, and bind this poor man to pray for your safety continually.
