WHereas the Kings most Excellent Majesty, by and with the Advice of His Privy Council, for many weighty Considerations hath been graciously pleased to establish and continue His Honourable Council in the Dominion and Principality of Wales, and Marches of the same, in the same manner and form as His Royal Progenitors, Kings and Queens of this Realm have heretofore used for the good Government, ease, and benefit of the Inhabitants of those parts. His Majesty therefore by the Advice of His said Privy Council, doth hereby publish and declare, That His Majesty's Precedent and Council established in the said Dominion and Principality of Wales, and Marches of the same, have full power and authority to hear and determine all such Causes and Complaints as are comprehended in His Majesty's Instructions, delivered unto His Majesty's Precedent of that Council: As also, that His Majesty's Loving Subjects within the Dominion and Principality of Wales, and Marches thereof, as heretofore used and accustomed, may freely repair unto the said Precedent and Council for Relief and justice in their lawful and necessary Suits. And His Majesties further will and pleasure is, That the Authority and proceedings of His said Precedent and Council, be duly and fully acknowledged and obeyed: To which purpose, His Majesty doth hereby straight charge and command all Majors, Sheriffs, Under-Sheriffs, Bailiffs, Sergeants, and all other inferior Officers and Ministers of justice, within the jurisdiction of the said Court, to serve, execute, and obey all Precepts, Process, and Letters of justice of His said Precedent and Council, and in all points and places within the said Principality and Marches thereof, to be attendant to them. And furthermore, That all His Loving Subjects within the said Dominion and Principality of Wales, and Marches thereof, as heretofore used and accustomed, do yield their obedience, and submit themselves unto the Orders, Precepts, Commands, and Decreés of the said Precedent and Council accordingly, as they will answer the contrary at their utmost peril.
