And whereas there are divers Persons within the Counties and Parts abovesaid , notoriously known to be disaffected to His Majestie , his righteous Cause , and his present Service , whose Estates are obnoxious and lyable to Seizure and Confiscation ; These are to signifie and declare , That when and as often as any such seizure shall be made , the same shall not otherwise be done but by particular Warrant and Direction of His Majestie , or such who shall have the immediate Command in Chief of the Forces of these Counties and Parts : And that due care shall be had and taken for the punctuall Inventorying and valuable Apprizing of such Moneys , Goods , Cattell , or other Estate which shall be so seized , to the end that Accompt may be given thereof to His Majestie ; And that the Party and Parties , Owners thereof , in case they shall acquit themselves of the Crimes to their Charges laid , may have a fitting Recompence and Restorement .
