And for such Our louing Subiects, who haue already giuen any money vpon the said Letters, or lent Vs Money vpon the sayd Priuie Seales, issued since the last Parliament, Wee haue giuen order how the same shall bee repayed vnto them without delay.

Giuen at Our Honour of Hampton Court, the 22, day of September, in the second yeere of Our Reigne of Great Britaine, France and Ireland.
