aforesaid, to reserve under our sovereignty,
protection, and dominion, _for the use of the said Indians, all the
land and territories not_ included within the limits of our said three
new governments, or within the limits of the territory granted to the
Hudson's Bay company; _as also, all the land and territories lying to
the westward of the sources of the rivers which fall into the sea from
the west and north-west as aforesaid_; and we do hereby strictly
forbid, on pain of our displeasure, all our loving subjects from making
any purchases or settlements whatever, or taking possession of any of
the lands above reserved, without our especial leave and licence for
that purpose first obtained.

And we do further strictly enjoin and require all persons whatever, who
have either wilfully or inadvertently seated themselves upon any lands
within the countries above described, or upon any other lands, _which
not having being ceded to, or purchased by us_, are still reserved to
the Indians as aforesaid, forthwith to remove themselves from such
settlements.

And whereas great frauds and abuses have been committed in the
purchasing land of the Indians, to the great prejudice of our
interests, and to the great dissatisfaction of the said Indians; in
order therefore to prevent such irregularities for the future, and to
the end that the Indians may be convinced of our justice and determined
resolution to remove all reasonable cause of discontent, we do, with
the advice of our privy council, strictly enjoin and require, that no
private person do presume to make any purchase from the said Indians of
any lands reserved to the said Indians within those parts of our
colonies where we have thought proper to allow settlement; but that if
at any time any of the said Indians should be inclined to dispose of
the said lands, the same shall be purchased only for us, in our name,
at some public meeting or assembly of the said Indians, to be held for
that purpose by the governor or commander in chief of our colony
respectively within which they shall lie: and in case they shall lie
within the limits of any proprietaries, conformable to such directions
and instructions as we or they shall think proper to give for that
purpose: and we do, by the advice of our privy council, declare and
enjoin, that the trade with the said Indians shall be free and open to
all our subjects whatever, provided that every person who may incline
to trade with the said
