❧ By the King. ❧ A Proclamation giving a further time for the amendment of defective Titles. THE Kings most Excellent Majesty, continuing still his Royal intention, to extend his grace to such of his loving Subjects as shall seek the same, for confirmation of such Grants, as have been passed to any of them, or their Ancestors from the Crown, by which his Princely favour, they and their posterity may be secured from the manifold dangers in which they stand, if by variety of time his majesties Title to their possessions should be set on foot, and pressed to their overthrow in succeeding ages: And having for that purpose lately published his Proclamation touching defective Titles, with a limitation of a day prefixed, which is now upon the point to be expired, Doth well perceive by report of great numbers that do crave the benefit thereof (which cannot conveniently be dispatched) that it was not any general neglect of his majesties grace and favour, that caused this late coming, but merely the accident of time in most men, whereof the greatest part passed on in the long Vacation, during which space, the Commissioners did not sit, nor the Counsel learned remained in Town, and the chiefest time, whereupon most men did rest their expectation (which was after Michaelmas) was likewise by the doubtfulness & shortness of the Term much disappointed: His Majesty is therefore pleased, for these and such like considerations, (by the advise of his Privy Counsel) to give once more, a prolongation of the same until the sixth of February next ensuing, to the intent that all such as have any desire to receive this grace, may enjoy the benefit of Confirmation of his majesties Grants of that nature by this Parliament, which is so immediately to follow, as that opportunity would not be neglected, which happeneth not but upon other extraordinary and urgent occasions. Given at Newmarket the last day of November, in the seventh year of our Reign of Great Britain, France and Ireland. God save the King. ¶ Imprinted at London by Robert Barker, Printer to the Kings most Excellent Majesty. ANNO 1609.
