_ 14 _ When this peace and friendship is agreed, we will command our fleet and troops not to go to your towns and castles. We also order all our captains and troops, to commit no harm against your merchants, who travel with your permission or that of your governor or captains and who want to come to these my kingdoms and domains. If, on the other hand, they do not show your warrant, their merchandise will be forfeit and they will be arrested. If, after paying the duty ordered, merchant should die, his goods will be handed over to your representative here, or to a captain who asks for it. We will require a safe-conduct to be given to all the merchants who leave our kingdoms so and that no one will hinder or oppose then which will authorize them to sail to all the sea-ports where they trade and let no-one prevent them. Because I usually give all my friends what they ask for, since Your Highness needs wheat, I shall order it to be given you in exchange for your money wherever you wish, as I do for the King of France and the Venetians. My wishes are always clear to whoever wishes peace or was with me, and I put pressure on no-one. If you wish to accept this peace, within eight months from the writing of this letter, send us reply so that I can accept, attach and confirm it.
