MAV. EVSTACE Canc. ORRERY.

WHEREAS in expectation of Conformity to the Laws of the Land, concerning uniformity of Common-Prayer and Service in the Church and the Administration of the Sacraments, indulgence to, and for­bearance of Dissenting and Non-conforming Persons of several Per­swasions hath been long time used; And whereas there were no pro­ceedings against them for several months; and when the Iudges in their several Circuits found it fit to question those that would not make good use of that Clemencie, and yet upon new Hopes all procee­dings thereupon were stopped and suspended; and yet the event hath not answered to our expectation, but Recusants, Non-conformists, and Sectaries have grown worse by Clemencie: We therefore have thought fit to declare, That We still hoping that gentle courses, & this further extension of His Majesties gracious Clemencie may work upon those who were misgui­ded, that for the time past all Offenses committed against his Majesties said Law of Uniformity of Common-Prayer, and Service in the Church, and the Administration of the Sacraments, shall be no further proceeded against. Whereof all Persons concerned are to take notice. And We do further Declare, That no Person or Persons are for the time to come to expect the like indulgence; and that all Iudges of Assize, Iustices of Peace, and all others concerned, are to see the said Law duly put in Execution. And this Declaration we make, that none may be surprized, or pretend ignorance, or any other excuse for their disobedience to the said Law.
