WE greet you well, being tender of our En­gagement to have a care for the reasonable satisfaction of the Tenants and Purchasers of Church Lands. Our Will and Pleasure is, That you give Order to all Bishops, Deans and Chapters within your Provinces: That in letting the Lands and Revenues belonging to the respective Church­es, they have regard to such as were Tenants before the late Troubles: Where they have not parted with their Leases. Giving them not only the priviledge of preemp­tion before any other, but using them with all favour and kindness. And you are forthwith to give directions, that no such ancient Tenant be put out of his possession, and that no Grant of Lease be made of things purchased by any Officer or Souldier of the Army, and others, un­less it be to the Purchaser, or by his consent, untill we take further Order, which we shall do speedily, it be­ing our intention to be carefull of the Churches In­terest.
