<P>And whereas it may happen that &s;everal Captains of Hor&s;e and Dra|goons are nece&s;sitated to mount &s;ome of their private Men, by which the &s;aid Men may be indebted for the &s;aid Hor&s;es; We are plea&s;ed that the Officer may Reimbur&s;e him&s;elf out of the &s;aid Mans Pay by rea&s;o|nable Deductions, allowing Him a Rea&s;onable Sub&s;i&s;tence to Maintain Him&s;elf and his Hor&s;e, &s;uch as the Collonel or Commandant of each Re|giment &s;hall direct. No Deduction is to be made for Clerks, We allow|ing of none in any Troop or Company of this Army; but expecting that every Captain by Him&s;elf, or one of his Officers whom he &s;hall appoint

<P>And We do Declare, That if any Captain or other Officer in this King|dom, do Detain any part of the &s;aid weekly Sub&s;i&s;tence, or of the Clo|thing and Accoutrements afore&s;aid, otherwi&s;e than as afore&s;aid is directed, that he &s;hall be Puni&s;hed with the utmo&s;t &s;everity that the nature of the Offence does de&s;erve.</P>
<P>We do Straitly Charge and Command all Officers of this His Ma|je&s;ty's Army, to &s;ee that Almighty God be duly and reverently &s;erved, and that they do take E&s;pecial Care in their Re&s;pective Garri&s;ons and Quar|ters to give good example to tho&s;e under their Commands by a religious &s;o|ber and orderly demeanor, and that they do not only them&s;elves ab&s;tain but re&s;train all per&s;ons under them from Blasphemy, prophane Swearing, and Cur&s;ing, Drunkne&s;s and from all other Leudne&s;s and Debauchery whatever, but on the contrary that they do duly and reverently &s;erve God by Frequenting the Churches and Chappels at the times of Divine &s;ervice at lea&s;t on Sundays and Holidays; and that tho&s;e who do either wilfully ab|&s;ent them&s;elves or mi&s;behave them&s;elves there be &s;evearly puni&s;hed, That all the Roman Catholick Souldiers in this Army do always at Ea&s;ter and at lea&s;t once every year be&s;ides Receive the holy Sacrament, of which each Souldier is to produce a Certificate to the Collonel of each Regi|ment or Commandant of the place, under the hand of the Prie&s;t from whom he received the &s;ame on pain of loo&s;ing three Months pay for Each Default herein.</P>
<P>We &s;trictly require all the Chaplains of this Army that they duly attend their re&s;pective Regiments, and that at lea&s;t one Chaplain be con&s;tantly with each Regiment, and that they do at lea&s;t on Sundays and Holydays Cate|chi&s;e and exhort the Souldiers and hear their confe&s;&s;ions at Ea&s;ter and other V&s;ual Fea&s;ts, We do expect that the &s;aid Officers and Soldiers &s;hall in all other particulars behave and demean them&s;elves as becomes good Chri&s;tians and Loyal Subjects; that they do not in&s;ult any of the Magi&s;trates or Inha|bitants on their March or in their Quarters, nor offer any violence to their per&s;ons or goods, And that no Officer &s;hall pre&s;ume to Quarter any Offi|cers or Souldiers under his Command, but by the billets of the proper Ma|gi&s;trates, and that on their March no Officer or &s;ouldier doe Pre&s;s any of the Kings Subjects, Hor&s;es or Carriages, but by the a&s;&s;i&s;tance and Warrant of the Magi&s;trate or other Civil Officer of the place who are to Furni&s;h them for their mony they paying the u&s;ual Rates for the &s;ame.</P>
