Translation	Attend ye to this pronouncement inscribed by the Right Honourable Thomas Stamford Raffles, lieutenant governor of Java, who has just returned to England with his kin. Heed ye also the directives of the Regents of Java, his friends, in heart dedicated to devotion and self-abnegation that their ordinances may serve the weal of all mankind. The burthen of this, my exhortation, is to sponsor to you a gentleman, Captain King, my emissary, and English soldier endowed with great wisdom and steadfast in judgment and knowledge. The aim of his voyage, indeed the motive for his leaving England, was a quest to discover a country, perchance an island, unknown and unoccupied by any man from the Island of the East. And moreover, should the aforesaid gentleman, Captain King, set foot on Java seeking anything of which he stands in need – in that arisement, this is a request to all my friends: I exhort you to furnish him liberally with whatever he may lack. Indeed I shall be grateful if Captain King receive the utmost succour from one and all. This verily because of your heartfelt determination to maintain your affectionate regard for the English race to whom you shall be as brethren forever. THOS. RAFFLES Written in England, dated: London, 4th February, 1817.
