¶ A Proclamation requiring all His majesty's Tenants within the Counties of Oxford and Berks to pay their several Rents, and other yearly payments, at the city of Oxford.  
WHereas there are several Rents, Tenths, and Arreirages of Rents, now due and payable to the King and Queen's Majesties, by diverse and sundry Tenants, Collectors, and others, within Our foresaid Counties, which should have been paid by the said Tenants, Collectors, and others at the Audit held at maidenhead for the said Counties in October last, but by Our Command, and for Our service were deferred. And We now considering that, by reason of the present distractions of this Kingdom, the said Rents, Tenths, and arreirages of Rents, cannot be more conveniently paid for Our use then at our city of Oxford, where We now are; Our royal will and pleasure therefore is, and We do hereby charge and command, That all such Tenths, Rents, & arrearages, of Rents, which are now due unto us, and aught to be paid to Our Receiver of Our foresaid Counties of Oxford and Berks, for Our use, be duly paid unto Michael Hollman Esq Our receiver-general for the said Counties, or to his Deputy, at Mr Richard Pulleys chamber in Saint John's college in Oxford, within ten days' next after the date of this Our Proclamation: And they are to bring with them their last Acquittances for their Rents, and Tenths formerly paid by them. Willing and commanding the due performance of this Our Proclamation by all Person or Persons whom it may concern, as they will answer the contrary at their perils.  
¶ Given at Our Court at Oxford, the Eleventh day of January, in the Eighteenth year of Our reign. 
 God save the King.
