Now for as much as the said Ordinance being without limitation of time for such Advances to be made, may much disadvange the State, The Lords and Commons in Parliament assembled taking the same into consideration, and to the end that thirty thousand pounds, and no more money, may be advanced by paying in one full fourth part upon the said Ordinance, to have a double proportion of Land, as is therein expressed, Do Ordaine, and it is Ordained by the said Lords and Commons, That the time limited for the com­ing in Subscription and payment of any sum of money for a full fourth part of any the former Adven­tures for Lands in Ireland, or otherwise upon the said Ordinance of 14. July 1643. shall be within twenty dayes next after the passing and printing of this present Ordinance by all such persons, Cor­porations, or Bodies politique as are in London, or within ten miles thereof; and the time limited shall be within forty dayes after the passing and printing of this Ordinance for the comming in Subscrip­tion and payment of any Money for a full fourth part, as aforesaid, by all other persons, Corporati­ons, or Bodies politique of the first Adventurers for Land in Ireland, that will advance and pay one full fourth part thereupon or otherwaies.

And whereas many of the first Ad­venturers intended to have paid in their whole Money according to their Subscription within the times limited for payment, but were hindred by reason of the then great troubles, and of the Warre in this Kingdome; It is therefore Ordained and Declared by the said Lords and Commons in Parliament as­sembled, That all such Adventurers shall be admitted to make payment of their full Adventure and Subscription of Money, and to adde a full fourth part thereunto of their said full Adventure and Sub­scription, according to the said Ordinance of the 14 July 1643. and upon payment thereof, accord­ing to the severall and respective limitation of Lives before mentioned, and not otherwise, shall have and take the like benefit of the said Ordinance of the 14. July 1643. for a double proportion of Land in Ireland as is therein declared, any Act or Ordinance of Parliament to the contrary in any wise notwith­standing. And it is also Ordained by the said Lords and Commons in Parliament, That all such com­ming in Subscriptions, or payment of any Money, and the benefit or profit that may or should accrew thereupon as shall be made in pursuance of the said Ordinance of Parliament of the 14 of July 1643. by any person or persons, or for any Corporations or Bodies politique whatsoever after the end and expiration of the said seven dayes next comming after the forty dayes before mentioned, are and shall be by vertue of this present Ordinance void and of none effect, and from thenceforth shall be ac­compted null and void, and to be so interpreted to all intents and purposes, any thing in the said Or­dinance to the contrary in any wise notwithstanding. And it is hereby further Ordained, That the said thirty thousand pounds, or so much thereof as shall be advanced, shall be paid in unto Master Thomas Andrews, Master Thomas Foot, Master John Kendricke, and Master Samuel Avery, Aldermen of the City of London, who are hereby appointed Treasurers for the said service, and to issue forth the said Money as they shall be ordered by both Houses of Parliament.
