III. And that the subjects of each of the most renowned Kings before named, in the Dominions and Territories of the other, shall not be worse dealt withal than the natural subjects, in their sales and contracts for their merchandizes, as well for price as otherwise; but that the condition of foreigners and natural subjects shall be equal and alike as aforesaid, according to the practice of ancient Treaties made between the most renowned Kings of Great Britain and Castile.
