His Maje&s;ty, by the Ble&s;&s;ing of Almighty God, being happily re&s;tored unto His Throne, out of his tender care and re&s;pect to the welfare of his Loving Subjects, conceaving that the Authority by the &s;aid Commi&s;&s;ions granted, may, po&s;&s;i|bly be extended (contrary to his purpo&s;e) to the dammage and hurt of his true and faithful People, and to the great ob&s;truction of the Trade and Commerce of his Kingdoms and Dominions; For prevention whereof, he is graciou&s;ly plea&s;ed to revoke, annul, and make void, and doth hereby, revoke, annul, and make void, all and every the &s;aid Commi&s;&s;ions, and all Powers and Authorities in them, or any of them contained, by His Maje&s;ty, or the Duke of <HI>York,</HI> before the fir&s;t of <HI>May</HI> la&s;t granted, to any of his Subjects or others, for Maritime or Sea-Affairs, in manner as afore&s;aid, hereby willing and commanding them, and every of them, to forbear the further pro&s;ecution, u&s;ing, or execution of the &s;ame Commi&s;&s;ions, or any thing therein expre&s;&s;ed, upon pain of &s;uch puni&s;hment, as by the Laws may, therefore, be inflicted upon them as Pirates; And his Maje&s;ty doth farther will, require, and command all and every his Subjects, who now are in the Service of any Foreign Prince or State, by Sea, or in Sea-Affairs, forthwith, upon notice hereof, to repair to his Maje&s;ties Service, at home, in his Dominions.</P>
