<HEAD>ACT Di&s;charging the vending of any Goods brought from <HI>England,</HI> till they abide their fourty dayes Tryal.</HEAD>

<P>_THe Lords of His <HI>Maje&s;ties</HI> Privy Council con&s;idering, that albeit it hath plea&s;ed the Almighty GOD to abate the violence of the Plague of Pe&s;ti|lence at <HI>London,</HI> and other places infected in the Kingdom of <HI>England;</HI> Yet there is great rea&s;on to fear and apprehend, that this Kingdom may be in danger, by &s;uffering a free Commerce and Trade to all per&s;ons, and permitting them to vend their Commodities before tryal; &s;eing, by &s;ad ex|perience, it hath been found, that the Infection may lurk for a long time in Merchant Wares and Commodities, and after handling thereof will break out again, to the great prejudice of the people and places where they are brought. Therefore, they, by the&s;e pre&s;ents, di&s;charge all Mer|chants, Traffickers or other per&s;ons what&s;oever, who &s;hall bring any Wares or Commodities from <HI>England,</HI> either by Sea in Ships and Ve&s;&s;els, or by Land in Packs and other Carriages into this Kingdom, to unload the &s;aids Ve&s;&s;els, or open the &s;aids Packs and Carriages, untill fir&s;t they acquaint the Sheriffs, Iu&s;tices of Peace, Magi&s;trates of Burghs, or others His <HI>Maje&s;ties</HI> Officers of the&s;e Shires and Burghs where they &s;hall happen fir&s;t to come, where they did loaden their Goods; and that they receive orders for their fourty dayes tryal, and in what places they &s;hall handle their Wares and Commodities during that time, conform to, and under the pains contained in, a former Act of Council, dated the twelfth of <HI>July</HI> la&s;t: And com|mands and charges all the &s;aids Sheriffs, Iu&s;tices of Peace, Magi&s;trates of Burghs, and others His <HI>Maje&s;ties</HI> Officers within their re&s;pective bounds, to meet and conveen, and give order for &s;uch Guards, Watches, Over&s;eers, Hou&s;es and Places, as they &s;hall think mo&s;t convenient for putting of this Act in execution, and for doing every other thing that &s;hall be nece&s;&s;ar for that effect: With certi<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">ication, if they fall&yogh;ie, they &s;hall be puni&s;hed in their Per&s;ons and Goods to the terror of ot<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="2 letters">rs. And ordains the&s;e pre&s;ents to &s;tand in force till the fir&s;t of <HI>June</HI> next, and longer, during the Councils plea&s;ure; And that the &s;ame be printed, and publi&s;hed at the Mercat-cro&s;s of <HI>Edinburgh,</HI> Peer and Shoar of <HI>Lieth,</HI> and other places needfull, that none pretend ignorance.</P>
