§ 13
§ 13.
The Governor can direct the troops and send them to any place, or order them to do anything, and they must obey him. In case of war, either if another nation were to invade this country, or, if strife arose among ourselves, the Governor could ask The Queen to send hither ships of war and troops, and The Queen would send at once of Her numerous fleets and soldiers, until that war or that strife was at an end. Nor, even though all her many thousand ships and soldiers should be required, would they be withheld, but more and more would continually be sent until the object should be accomplished.
