<P>_WHereas Complaint has been made unto Vs by the Com|mi&s;sioners and Chief Governours of Their Maje&s;ties Revenue, that the Officers of Inland Exci&s;e employ'd under them, have been and daily are ob&s;tructed in the due Execution of their re&s;pective Employments, whereby Their Maje&s;ties Revenue of Exci&s;e is very much im|pair'd; And We being de&s;irous that all Lawfull means &s;hould be us'd for the Encouragement of Their Maje|&s;ties Revenue, that &s;o the &s;aid Duty may be fully Col|lected, being a con&s;iderable Support towards the Pay|ment of the Army. We do therefore &s;trictly Charge and Command, that no Per&s;on or Per&s;ons do hereafter pre|&s;ume to give any Lett, Hinderance or Mole&s;tation to any Officer employ'd in the Exci&s;e, in the Execution of his Duty and Office. And being further informed by them, that divers loo&s;e and wandring Per&s;ons, not fixt to any Habitations, in great numbers taking the advantage of the Di&s;orders of the times, do follow the Camp and Army, and under Hedges and Ditches and other ob&s;cure places Brew and make Beer and Ale, which not being well boil'd, and wanting Convenience to work the &s;ame as it ought, becomes very unwhol&s;ome for the Body, and begets Fluxes and other Di&s;tempers in the Army, and by this fradulent Practice e&s;cape paying the Duty of Exci&s;e, to Their Maje&s;ties great prejudice. For prevention of which Mi&s;chief for the future, We do hereby &s;trictly Charge and require, that no Per&s;on what&s;oever pre&s;ume to carry any unwhol&s;ome, half-boil'd, unwrought, raw, new Beer or Ale to the Camp, nor any but &s;uch as hath been Brew'd above &s;ix days; And that they and every of them fir&s;t take a Certificate under the hand of the Gauger of Exci&s;e, where &s;uch Beer or Ale was Brewed, that it is not only good, whol&s;ome and well Brewed Drink, but that the &s;ame hath been Brewed a|bove &s;ix days, and paid Their Maje&s;ties Duties accordingly. And We further re|quire, that all Per&s;ons &s;ubject to the payment of Exci&s;e, do without fraud, Pay and Di&s;charge the &s;ame, in &s;uch manner as the Law of Exci&s;e requires, upon the peril of being proceeded again&s;t for &s;uch their neglect, according to the utmo&s;t rigour of the Law.</P>
