WHereas some Persons on misunderstanding of the Laws for­merly made against selling Arms and Ammunition to Indians, have been ready to transgress in that matter, This Court therefore sees cause, and doe hereby revive that Law Tit.

Provided alwayes, that it shall be lawful for our Commissioners of the Colonyes for the time being, by Note under their hands, to allow to our friend Indians, for necessary use, small quantityes, not exceeding half a pound of Powder to one man at one time, and proportionably Shot or Lead.
