3^ly. That y^e above said parties have y^e whole trade to them selves, their heires and assignes, with all y^e privileges therof, as y^e said collonie doth now, or may use the same, for 6. full years, to begine y^e last of September next insuing. 4^ly. In furder consideration of y^e discharge of y^e said debtes, every severall purchaser doth promise and covenante yearly to pay, or cause to be payed, to the above said parties, during y^e full terme of y^e said 6. years, 3. bushells of corne, or 6^li. of tobaco, at y^e undertakers choyse. 5^ly. The said undertakers shall dureing y^e afforesaid terme bestow 50^li. per annum, in hose and shoese, to be brought over for y^e collonies use, to be sould unto them for corne at 6^s. per bushell. 6^ly. That at y^e end of y^e said terme of 6. years, the whole trade shall returne to y^t use and benefite of y^e said collonie, as before. Lastly, if y^e afforesaid undertakers, after they have aquainted their freinds in England with these covenants, doe (upon y^e first returne) resolve to performe them, and undertake to discharge y^e debtes of y^e said collony, according to y^e true meaning & intente of these presents, then they are (upon such notice given) to stand in full force; otherwise all things to remaine as formerly they were, and a true accounte to be given to y^e said collonie, of the disposing of all things according to the former order. M^r. Allerton carried a coppy of this agreemente with him into England, and amongst other his instructions had order given him to deale with some of their speciall freinds, to joyne with them in this trade upon y^e above recited conditions; as allso to imparte their further ends that moved them to take this course, namly, the helping over of some of their freinds from Leyden, as they should be able; in which if any of them would joyne with them they should thankfully acceptt of their love and partnership herein. And with all (by their letters) gave them some grounds of their hops of the accomplishmente of these things with some advantage. _Anno Dom: 1628._ After M^r. Allertons arivall in England, he aquainted them with his comission and full power to conclude y^e forementioned bargan & purchas; upon [154] the veiw wherof, and y^e delivery of y^e bonds for y^e paymente of y^e money yearly, (as is before mentioned,) it was fully concluded, and a deede[CF] fairly ingrossed in partchmente was delivered him, under their hands & seals confirming the same. Morover he delte with them aboute other things according to his instructions. As to admitt some of these their good freinds into this purchass if they pleased, and to deale with them for moneys at better rates, &c. Touching which I shall hear inserte a letter of M^r. Sherleys, giving light to what followed therof, writ to y^e Gov^r as followeth.
