37 The golden crown and the scarlet robe which ye sent unto us we have received; and we are ready to make a steadfast peace with you, yea, and to write unto our officers to confirm the immunities which we have granted.

38 And whatsoever covenants we have made with you shall stand, and the strongholds which ye have built shall be your own.
