' Be it known to all beholding this Patent, that having regard to the services done by Niculao Manuchy in our Indian dominions on various occasions arising in our service; by translating the letters written by the Mogul King to the Count, our viceroy in the said Dominions; and by being present during the conferences with his ambassador, Shekh Muhammad, upon the matters under negotiation; subsequently, upon the approach of the prince Muhammad Mu'azzam, Shah 'Alam, eldest son of the said king, with his army, to the vicinity of the said Dominions, by accompanying the envoy that the said Count, our viceroy, sent to the said Prince; and by going more than once to the said army on various matters of great importance appertaining to the said Dominions. Wherein the said Niculao Manuchy conducted himself with great fidelity and zeal in our service; from which we anticipate he will act in the same way from now henceforth. 'For all these reasons he is worthy of every honour and favour, and to prove to the said Prince the esteem in which we hold his person; We hold it expedient to make a grant to the said Niculao Manuchi of the vestment of the order of Sao Tiago which he can wear on his breast like a true knight, for which he will be recognised, and respected as such, enjoying all the honours and privileges thereto appertaining.
