<P><HI>_WHereas the Kings mo&s;t Excellent Maie&s;tie, by &s;undry</HI> Letters Pattents, Commi&s;&s;ions, and Proclamations heere|tofore made and publi&s;hed, gaue &s;euerall directions, a&s;well touching the Licen&s;ing of Innes and Ho&s;teries, as touching the ordering of Alehou&s;e-keepers, and leuying the forfeitures of their Recognizances, and likewi&s;e touching the &s;etling of a Manufacture of Gold and Siluer Threed within this King|dome; In all which, his Maie&s;ties intentions were no other but the increa&s;e of profitable Arts and Inuentions, the re|pre&s;&s;ing of vice and di&s;order, and reformation of &s;undry enor|mities and abu&s;es: yet by the fraud and abu&s;e of &s;ome per&s;ons, who with much confi|dence and a&s;&s;urance vndertooke to his Maie&s;ty, to manage and execute the &s;aid Patents, Proclamations, and Commi&s;&s;ions, for his Maie&s;ties honour, and the good of the publike; the &s;ame haue beene peruerted, to the di&s;turbance of the Iu&s;tice of the Realme, affront to Iu&s;tices of A&s;&s;i&s;e, and Iu&s;tices of the Peace, and to the great damage, hurt, and oppre&s;&s;i|on of many of his Maie&s;ties Subiects; which abu&s;es were altogether vnknowne to his mo&s;t Excellent Maie&s;tie, vntill they were di&s;couered by the complaint of the Commons in this pre&s;ent Parliament, which (had they &s;ooner come to his Maie&s;ties knowledge) he would haue puni&s;hed with all &s;eueritie. His Maie&s;tie out of his tender zeale and af|fection which he beareth to all his louing Subiects, being well plea&s;ed with that exempla|rie cour&s;e of Iu&s;tice, which to His &s;inguler contentment, hath beene already begun in His high Court of Parliament, again&s;t &s;ome of the principall offenders; and to the end that all His louing Subiects, might &s;ee how much His care and zeale is to giue remedy to any thing that is found hurtfull to the Common-weale of His people; Hath been plea&s;ed of His aboundant goodne&s;&s;e, to put His owne Royall hand and Princely care, to the &s;peedy and vtter aboli&s;hing of all that euill, which might heereafter &s;pring from tho&s;e rootes.</P>
<P>And therefore doth hereby declare and publi&s;h, that it is his expre&s;&s;e will and plea&s;ure, That all the &s;ayd Letters Patents, Commi&s;&s;ions, and Proclamations beforementioned, be forthwith reuoked. And doth further hereby &s;treightly charge and command, That no per&s;on or per&s;ons, doe hereafter pre&s;ume to put in execution the fore&s;ayd Letters Pa|tents, Proclamations or Commi&s;&s;ions, or any of them, or any Article or thing in them or any of them conteyned. And his further plea&s;ure is, That all Innes, Ho&s;teries and Alehou&s;es, and the &s;euerall Inne-keepers and Alehou&s;e-keepers thereof &s;halbe gouer|ned, ordered and v&s;ed in all points as they &s;hould haue beene, if the &s;ayd Letters Pa|tents, Commi&s;&s;ions and Proclamations had not beene made. And that all Recogni|zances of Alehou&s;e-keepers &s;halbe proceeded with, in the &s;ame plight, manner and forme, and none other, then as they &s;hould haue beene if the &s;ayd Letters Patents and Pro|clamations concerning the &s;ame, had not beene made. And whereas &s;undrie Ale|hou&s;e-keepers, being by order of the Iu&s;tices of A&s;&s;i&s;e, and Iu&s;tices of Peace, put downe and &s;uppre&s;&s;ed from keeping Victualling hou&s;es, did after by collour of the &s;ayd Let|ters Patents, and Commi&s;&s;ions for Licen&s;ing of Innes and Ho&s;teries, obteyne Li|cences from or by meanes of the &s;ayd Patentees, to keepe Innes or Ho&s;teries, His Ma|ie&s;ties further plea&s;ure and commandement is, that all &s;uch Innes &s;o abu&s;iuely erected, and all other Innes lycen&s;ed and &s;et vp by force or collour of the fore&s;ayd Letters Pa|tents in vnfit places, or by per&s;ons of euill fame, bee forthwith &s;uppre&s;&s;ed. And his Maie&s;tie doth hereby require, command, and authorize his Iu&s;tices of A&s;&s;i&s;e, and Iu|&s;tices of Peace within the &s;euerall Counties and places of this Kingdome, to take or|der for the &s;uppre&s;&s;ing thereof accordingly, and to take further order, that the &s;euerall Lycences &s;o vnduely granted, be deliuered to the Clerke of A&s;&s;i&s;e, or Clerke of the Peace in open A&s;&s;i&s;es or Se&s;&s;ions, there to remaine vntill further order may bee taken for the ab&s;olute cancellation and auoyding of the &s;ame. And His Highne&s;&s;e further plea&s;ure is, in regard of the &s;ayd abu&s;es, That no rent, or &s;umme of money due or pretended to bee due for, or in re&s;pect of any &s;uch Lycence, for &s;etting vp of any Inne or Ho&s;tery, bee at any time hereafter leuied, receiued or demaunded; But that all a&s;&s;urances for pay|ment thereof bee di&s;charged.</P>
