¶ These be the brief contents but of certain partes of the laws now remaining in force, to thobseruance whereof her majesty thinketh best to induce her subiectes by this short memorial, and yet nevertheless wisheth that all of inferior estates, should notneglect the rest of the same laws, leste if they shalbe found to contemn these orders here mentioned, they may feel the pain of the rest.  
There be certain other exceptions in the Statutes: as for such as haue licence by the queens majesty, or such as shall run in any Iustes, or shall serve in war, or shal haue apparel given thē to be worn by her Maiestis and such like. All which are well to be considered by them that will claim any privilege thereby, and that at their peril.  
¶ And where there is mention made of valves of yearly liueloodes & goods, the best account therof is to be made by the taxations in this last subsidy, so as if any will be excused by pretence of his lyueloode or substance, to offend, it is as meet that he answer to the Prince in subsedye for that value, as seek defence to break any good lawe, whereof her majesty giveth to all men admonition.
