<OPENER><SIGNED>CHARLES R.</SIGNED></OPENER>
<P>_WHereas in Our ab&s;ence an Ordinance of both Hou&s;es of Parliament was made, Intituled, <HI>An Ordinance of the Lords and Commons for the A&s;&s;e&s;&s;ment of Seventy thou&s;and pounds by the moneth upon England, for three Moneths, for the &s;upply of Our pre&s;ent Occa&s;ions, and for and towards the payment and &s;atisfaction of the Armys and Navies, continued for the defence of this Kingdom, and for other the nece&s;&s;ary and ur|gent occa&s;ions thereof,</HI> And for the due levying and rai&s;ing of the &s;aid Moneys, an Act al&s;o pa&s;&s;ed in this pre&s;ent Parliament, for putting the &s;aid Ordi|nance in execution, and thereby all and every the Clau&s;es, Powers and Provi|&s;ions in the &s;aid Ordinance mentioned, are enacted to be put in full execution.</P>
<P>And whereas by the afore&s;aid Ordinance, it is Ordered and Required, That the full Sum of the &s;aid three moneths A&s;&s;e&s;&s;ments, charged upon the &s;everal and re&s;pective Counties, Cities, Boroughs, Towns and Places, within Our Realm of <HI>England,</HI> and Dominion of <HI>Wales,</HI> &s;hould be wholly paid in and compleated to the Receiver General thereunto appointed, at or before the fir&s;t day of <HI>Augu&s;t</HI> la&s;t pa&s;t; Neverthele&s;s the &s;ame is in a very great mea&s;ure, as We are informed, un|collected: And for Non-payment thereof, the nece&s;&s;ities they were appointed to &s;upply are di&s;ap|pointed; and the disbanding of &s;uch part of the Army, to whom is a&s;&s;igned &s;ome of tho&s;e Ar|rears, will be much retarded:</P>
<P>We therefore by and with the advice of Our Privy Councel, do hereby Require and Com|mand, under the penalty of Our High Di&s;plea&s;ure, all and every the Commi&s;&s;ioners named in the &s;aid Ordinance, for the re&s;pective Counties, Cities, Boroughs, Towns and Places, within Our Realm of <HI>England,</HI> and Dominion of <HI>Wales,</HI> &s;peedily and very effectually, to put in full execu|tion all the Powers, Authorities, Orders and Rules mentioned and laid down in the afore&s;aid Ordinance, as may be&s;t conduce to the &s;peedy carrying on of the publick Service thereby required, and that all and every the Head-Collectors, Sub-Collectors, Receivers, and other per&s;ons impow|red by any Clau&s;e, Article or Order, in the &s;aid Ordinance, do with all diligence and care, per|form the duty of their &s;everal Imployments, under the Penalties by the &s;aid Ordinance impo&s;ed; To the end that there be no failer in any part of the due execution of the Service by the &s;aid Ordi|nance appointed: But that the whole Arrears of the &s;aid A&s;&s;e&s;&s;ments being paid in without de|lay, the great inconveniencies which otherwi&s;e will en&s;ue, may be prevented and avoided.</P>
<P>And la&s;tly, We do hereby &s;treightly charge and command all per&s;ons what&s;oever to yield all due obedience forthwith as to the paying their and every of their Arrears of the afore&s;aid A&s;&s;e&s;&s;|ments, in manner as by the &s;aid Ordinance is Ordered and directed, as they and every of them will an&s;wer the contrary at their utmo&s;t peril.</P>
