WHereas the Commissioners of Their Majesties Revenue have represented unto Vs, That pursuant to the Power to them given, they have Set several of the forfeited Lands in this Kingdom for one year, determining the first of November next, That the time for breaking up the Fallow to sow Winter Corn for the year ensuing is in March and April, and that without some assurance to the said Tennants of a longer Continuance or Satisfaction for the Fallow they shall make, if they are forced to leave the Lands at the Expiration of their said Leases, the said Tennants will not break up their Fallow, and the Arable Lands thereby for the next year will become waste. We taking the same into Our Consideration, and finding it absolutely necessary for the good of the Kingdom in general, that the said Tenants should be encoura­ged [Page] to break up Fallow for Sowing Winter Corn for the next year, Do hereby require all such Tenants, as have or shall take any Leases from the said Commissioners of any of the Forfeited Lands aforesaid, to break up so much of the Arable Lands they hold as aforesaid as conveniently they can: And We do hereby assure them, that they shall either be continued Tennants to the said Lands, or else shall be allowed out of their Rents reasonable Satisfaction for every Acre they shall Plow and Sow, according to the Custom of the Country. And forasmuch as it will be for Their Ma­jesties Service, and benefit of the Inhabitants throughout the Kingdom that the Meadows, or Grounds fit to be preserved for Meadows, be every where in due time laid up and well preserved. We do hereby therefore re­quire all and every Their Majesties Tennants aforesaid, and do hereby de­sire and encourage all other Persons having Meadows or Grounds fit to be preserved for Meadows, that they do lay up as much Meadow or other Ground fit to be laid up for Meadow, as aforesaid, as possibly they can, Fencing it in well, and preserving it as carefully as they are able. And We do hereby strictly Charge and Command all Officers, Soldiers and o­thers, that they do not either by themselvs or their Horses or Cattle, any ways break any of the said Fences, or eat the Grass on the Lands which shall be so laid up for Meadow as aforesaid, nor do any thing to any of the said Tennants or their under Tennants on any of the said Lands, whereby to disable or hinder them from breaking up Fallow and laying up Meadow as aforesaid, as they will answer the contrary at their ut­most Peril.
