word there shall be no impositions laid upon them ; for if ever, heretofore, there
has been any impositions or vexations practised upon the English nation in Persia,
it is our will that from this day they be abolished and forgotten.
And being persuaded of the sincerity of our most honoured friend the Balios,
we accept of his offer of services and request of him to purchase immediately such
rarities as are procurable at Bussora, favouring us at the same time with the amount

shall be sent with them.
Let our friend, therefore, on all occasions rest satisfied of our favour and pro
tection. Let him on all occasions make known to us his wishes, and wants, and let
the above for ever remain a compact between us.

magnitude to whatever he can hope or desire, and it is moreover necessary that
in order to make trial thereof he should encourage his nation to trade into Persia,
and he has again our word that they shall do so in the fullest and most perfect
security.
