WHereas the Militia are by special Orders of the Government actually Imployed in defence of the Countrey, and many of them excuse their Attendance, upon pretence that they are already Inlisted in the Army, or intend to be so: which we conceive very prejudicial to Their Majesties Service. VVe do therefore prohibit all persons whatsoever now arrayed in the Militia, from Inlisting themselves in the Army, without the special Licence of One of Us. And all the Officers of the Army are desired not to entertain any of the Mitia in their Troops or Companies without the consent of the Collonel and Captain to whom such person belonged

Dated at CORK the 25th. Day of June, 1691.
