And further, Prohi­bits and Discharges any of His Majesties Subjects of this Kingdom, of what Quality or Degree soever, to go into England, or elsewhere abroad, without Licence from the Council, or one of their Number, as they will be answerable at their highest peril: And all which Li­cences so to be granted, are hereby Ordered to be given gratis: And Ordains these presents to be Published in the ordinary way, by a Macer of Council, that none pre­tend ignorance.
