❧ By the King.  
WHereas there is lately published in Print our Apology heretofore made for the Oath of Allegiance, enjoined by Act of Parliament to all our Subjects in certain cases, with a Premonition in our Name dedicated to all Christian Princes and States; which Book, by the rashness of the Printer, and error of the Examiner, is come forth uncorrected of some faults varying from the Original Copy, and which do nota little pervert the sense: Like as we disclaim from all the Copies published before the date hereof, as adulterate, and set out contrary to our express Commandment to the Printer given: So our will and pleasure is, and we do hereby straightly charge and command all our Subjects, and all others within our Realm, to whose hands any of the said Books be come, that they do presently, and without delay, bring in all such Books as they have, to our Printer; from whom they shall have other Copies for the same, corrected to the truth. And that hereof they fail not, as they will answer to the contrary at their peril.  
¶ Given at our Palace of Westminster, the seventh day of April, in the seventh year of our Reign of Great Britain, France and Ireland. 
 God save the King.
