2. You shall under no consideration allow any soldier to seize any
gold or any other article of value from any Indian, in case that any
of the said Indians should flee through fear or any other reason, and
abandon their gold or other property to the power of the soldiers. It
shall immediately be sent to its owner, to show them, as above stated,
that the expedition is not being made there for their gold. On the
contrary, you shall endeavor, before the Indians, to attach very
slight importance to gold, alleging that it has but little value and
esteem among us. In all the above, and in whatever else may come to
your notice, you shall always govern yourself by, and conform as far
as possible to, the opinion of the undersigned members of the council
of war. You shall endeavor to direct everything that you do with the
great energy and resolution that can and should be expected from your
wisdom and prudence. In all things you shall regard the service of
God and that of the king our sovereign.
