If it shall soe happen that Master Connock or any other hath either taken vpon him [the] title of Embassador or otherwise by any prodigality wasted the Companies stocke, not behaueinge himselfe as a merchant in sobriety or in religion and manneres as a good Christian, you shall then all joyntly togither dischardge him, or any such, from any more interest in the Companies seruice in persia [and] shipe him away, requiringe him or any other so offendinge to obey and submitt himselfe to yeild vp all such authoritie vsurped or giuen, in the name of his Maiestie my Souerainge lord, as hee will answere it at his vtmost perill; if not soe (which wee hope), to continew him in his place and reputation. In such case, by virtue of the King's authoritie giuen vnto mee his Ambassador, and vnto the cheefe Commander of the fleete, Captain Martin Prinne, and the Cape merchant, Master Thomas Kerridge, by the Committes of the Honourable Company of East India Merchants, wee doe ordeyne and nominate to the excecution of these instructions and to the manadging of the said Companys stocke and affayres, as Cheefe or Cape Merchant or Principall, Thomas Barker; and in case of any defaulte of him in death or otherwise, George Plea, and for his second, William Bell; whom wee require to excecute with all diligence these instructions, and all other to obey them in their place and qualety. God, whom I hope you will all only rely one, direct and blesse you. Tho. Roe.
