And in pursuance of his Majesties Royal resolution herein, his Majesty. With advice aforesaid, both recommend to the Lords of [ ]is Majesties Privy Council, to take speedy and effectual course, that these Acts receive ready adn due obedience from all his Majesties subjects; and for that end, that they call before them all such Ministers who, having entered in or since the year, one thousand six [ ]ndred and fourty nine, and have not as yet obtained Presentations and Collations as afresaid, yet dared to preach in contempt of [ ] Law, and to punish them as seditious persons and contemners of the Royal Authority.

And therefore, and for preventing of the same for the future, his Majesty, wiht advice and consent of his Estates in Parliament, doth hereby Statute, Ordain and Declare, That all and every such person or persons, who shall hereafter ordinarily and willfully with-drew and absen[ ] themselves from the ordinary Meetings of divine Worship in their own Parock Church on the Lords-day, (whether upon [ ]ount of Popery or other disaffection to the present Government of the Church) shall thereby incur the pains and penalties under[ ]itten, viz. Each Nobleman, Gentleman and Heretor, the loss of a fourth part of ilk years rent, in which they shall be accused a[ ]onvincted; and every Yeoman, Tennent or Farmer, the look of such a proportion of their free moveables (after the payment of th[ ]r rents due to their Master and Land-lord) as his Majesties Council shall think fit, not exceeding a fourth part thereof.".
