AN ACT FOR THE Better Execution Of His Majesty's Gracious Declaration for the Settlement of his Kingdom of Ireland, and satisfaction of the several Interests of Adventurers, Soldiers, and other his Subjects there.  
WHEREAS an unnatural Insurrection did break forth against your Majesty's Royal Father of ever blessed Memory, his Crown and Dignity, in this Your Majesty's Kingdom of Ireland, upon the 23. of October in the year of our Lord God 1641. and manifest itself by the murder and destructions of many thousands of your said Majesties good and loyal Subjects; which afterwards universally spreading and diffusing itself over the whole Kingdom, settled into, and became a form, and almost National Rebellion of the Irish Papists against Your Royal Father of blessed Memory, his Crown and Dignity, to the destruction of the English and Protestants inhabiting in Ireland, the which Irish Papists being represented in a General assembly chosen by themselves, and acting by a Council called by them, The Supreme Council of the Confederate Roman Catholics of Ireland, did first assume, usurp and exercise the power of Life and Death, make Peace and War, levy and coin Money, and many other Acts of Sovereign Authority, treating with foreign Princes and Potentates for their Government and Protection, and afterwards acted under a foreign Authority, by all the said ways disowning and rejecting your Royal Father, and your Majesty's undoubted Right to this Kingdom, even whilst they treacherously used his and your Majesty's Names in the outward forms of their Proceed, withal impiously seeming by words and shows to swear even unto that which by the whole series of their deeds they denied; and moreover presuming to pretend his late Majesties most Sacred Authority, even for their worst actions, all which they did (amongst other their evil designs) to frighten his good Protestant Subjects from their loyalty, to blast his Majesty's Honour, and to widen the breach between his said Majesty and his seduced Subjects in England: The which ends by their said wicked stratagems they did too successfully and mischievously effect: And whereas Almighty God hath given your Majesty, by and through your said English and Protestant Subjects absolute Victory and Conquest over the said Irish Popish Rebels and enemies, so as they, their Lives, Liberties and Estates are now wholly at your Majesty's disposition by the Laws of this Kingdom. And whereas several of your Majesty's Subjects, by whom, as instruments, the said Rebels were totally subdued, did in the time of your Majesty's absence beyond the Seas, for supply of the then pressing necessities, and to prevent the further desolation of this your Majesty's Kingdom, inquire into the Authors, Contrivers and Abettors of the said Rebellion and War, and after much deliberation among themselves, and advice from others had thereupon, did dispossess such of the said Popish Irish Rebels of their Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, as they found guilty of, and to have been engaged in the said Rebellion or War aforementioned, and did withal distribute and set out the said Lands to be possessed by sundry persons, their Agents and Tenants, who by advancing of their Moneys and Goods, or by hazarding of their Lives, had contributed unto the said Conquest, or who had been otherwise useful, as having served or suffered in the suppression of the said Rebellion and War; and whereas several of your Majesty's Protestant Subjects as soon as with much difficulty and hazard they had gotten the power of this Kingdom into their hands, did according to their bounden duty, with all humility and cheerfulness invite your Majesty into this your Kingdom, with a faithful engagement to serve your Majesty with their Lives and Estates; and afterwards when your Sacred Majesty their Sovereign Lord and King by your Gracious Letters from Breda, bearing date the 4/14 day of April, in the Twelfth Year of your Majesty's Reign, intimated your Royal Intentions of returning to the exercise of your Regal Authority, they with others of your Majesty's Protestant Subjects did readily and dutifully yield up themselves and the said subdued people, with this your Kingdom of Ireland unto your Majesty's absolute obedience and disposition, who thereupon after many Month's Consideration, and the public hearing of all parties concerned in, and pretending to Lands and Estates in this your Majesty's Kingdom, as also after the receiving and weighing of expedient upon expedient in order to an universal accommodation and final settlement, did at length in your Princely Wisdom, Grace and justice set forth a Declaration, bearing date the 30. day of November, in the Twelfth year of your Majesty's Reign, with several Explanations and Instructions relating thereunto, expressing your Royal pleasure concerning the People and Territories of this your Majesties said Kingdom, Declaring it likewise to be your pleasure, That all the particulars in the said Declaration mentioned, should be effectually recommended unto your Majesty's chief Governor or Governors, Privy Council and Parliament in this Kingdom for the establishing the same by Law.  
Now We the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and the Commons in this present Parliament assembled, having well weighed and considered the nature of the Rebellion and War above mentioned, together with the Causes thereof, and Motives thereunto, and with what Industry and Malice the Regal Authority, the British Interest, and Protestant Religion, were pursued and endeavoured to be eradicated, and being withal very sensible of the vast expense of Blood and Treasure, and of the unspeakable sufferings which the British and Protestants, as well several times heretofore as of late, have undergone, to reduce this your Majesty's Kingdom to a perfect obedience unto the Crown of England, do most thankfully acknowledge, accept and admire your Sacred Majesty's Wisdom, Grace and justice towards all Interests in that your Majesties said Gracious Declaration and Instructions expressed: And forasmuch as the Rapines, Depredations and Massacres committed by the said Irish and Popish Rebels & Enemies, are not only well known to this present Parliament, but are notorious to the whole World; notwithstanding the many means and artifices which for many years together, have been used to murder such witnesses, suppress such evidences, and also to vitiate and imbezle such Records and Testimonies, as might prove the same against particular persons; and lastly, for that the said Rebels since their throwing off your Royal Fathers and your Majesty's Government, are become subdued and conquered enemies, and have justly forfeited all their Rights, Titles and Estates in this Kingdom: It is therefore Enacted, and be it Enacted by your most Excellent Majesty, with the consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and the Commons in this present Parliament assembled, and by the Authority thereof, That all Honours, Manors, Castles, Houses, Places, Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, Right, Title, Service, Chiefry, Use, Trust, Condition, Fee, Rent-Charge, Chattels real, Mortgage, Right of Redemption of any Mortgages, Recognizance, judgements, Forfeitures, Extent, Right of Action, Right of Entry, Statute, or any other Estate of what nature or kind soever, in all and every the Counties, Baronies, Cities, Towns Corporate and walled Towns in this Kingdom, which at any time from and after the said 23. day of October in the year of our Lord 1641. were seized or sequestered into the hands, or to the use of his late Majesty King Charles the First, or of your most Gracious Majesty that now is, or otherwise disposed of, distributed, set out, or set apart by reason of, or upon account of the said Rebellion or War, or which were allotted, assigned, given, granted, ordered, distributed, disposed, demised, set out or set apart, to or for any person or persons use or uses, for Adventures, Arrears, Reprizals or otherwise, or whereof his late Majesty, or your Majesty that now is, or any Adventurer, Soldier, reprisal person, or others respectively had and received the Rent, Issue or Profits, by reason or upon account of the said Rebellion or War, or whereof the Adventurers, Officers, or Soldiers now or formerly of the English Army in this Kingdom, or transplanted or transplantable persons, or any of them, or their or any of their Heir, Heirs or Assigns, or any other person or persons whatsoever upon account of the said Rebellion or War, were in seizin, possession or occupation by themselves, their Tenants, Agents or Assigns, on the Seventh day of May, 1659.: or which were assigned, given, granted, laid out, set apart, or reserved for or towards the satisfaction of any the said Adventurers, Soldiers or other persons, for or in consideration of any money or provisions advanced, lent or furnished, or for Arrears of pay, or in compensation of any Service or reputed Services, or other account whatsoever, or reserved or mentioned to be reserved, for or in order to a Reprisal or Reprisals for such Encumbrances as then were, now are, or shall be adjudged due to any person or persons out of the said Lands, Tenements or Hereditaments, or for any other use, intent or purpose whatsoever, or whereof any Custodiam, Lease for year or years, or other Disposition or Grant whatsoever hath been made, or unto which your Royal Father or your Majesty that now is, are any ways entitled by reason of, or upon account of the said Rebellion or War, or which are wrongfully detained or concealed by any person or persons whatsoever, as also all Chanteries, and all Manors, Lands, Tenements, Rents, Tithes, Pensions, Portions, and other Hereditaments or things whatsoever, belonging to them or any of them, which were in the seizin, possession or occupation, and out of which any Rent, Duty, Tenure, or other Service was reserved of any person or persons, who by the Qualifications in this Act shall not be adjudged innocent persons; as also all Lands, Tenements, and Hereditaments belonging to any Ecclesiastical person or persons, in his or their politic capacity, and that have formerly by them or any of them been let in Fee-farm, the right whereof, or Title thereunto, or Interest therein was in any person or persons, his or their Heirs or Assigns, who by the Qualifications in this Act expressed, shall not be adjudged innocent persons; as also all Leases that have been made by any Ecclesiastical persons, of any Lands, Tenements or Hereditaments belonging unto them in their politic capacity, to any person or persons, their Executors, Administrators or Assigns, who by the Qualifications in this Act expressed, shall not be adjudged innocent persons; as also all Impropriations or appropriate Tithes belonging to any person or persons, his or their Heirs, Executors, Administrators or Assigns, who by the Qualifications in this present Act expressed, shall not be adjudged innocent, are, and shall be, and are hereby declared, deemed and adjudged as from the said 23. day of October, 1641. forfeited and to have been forfeited to your Majesty, your Heirs and Successors; and they hereby are from the said 23. day of October 1641. vested and settled in the real and actual possession and seizin of your Majesty, your Heirs and Successors, without any Office or Inquisition thereof found, or hereafter to be found, notwithstanding that the persons who were the former Proprietors or reputed Proprietors of the said Estates, or any of them, are not hereby, or have not been heretofore attainted for, and by reason of the said most heinous and unnatural Rebellion and War.  
Provided, That this Act shall not extend to the avoiding of any Contract, Conveyance, Assurance or disposition of, for or concerning any of the said forfeited Lands, Tenements or Hereditaments made since the 23. day of October, 1641. by any Protestant Adventurer or Soldier, or other person of, or from such persons whose Estates if they had not so, as aforesaid, disposed them, would have been confirmed unto them by the Rules in this Act herein after limited or appointed, nor to the avoiding of any Contract for Lands in Connaught or Clare, set out by virtue of Decrees made by Protestants, or others that purchased any Lands, Tenements or Hereditaments from persons transplanted into the Province of Connaught or County of Clare, or their Assigns, nor to entitle your Majesty to the mean Profits of any of the said forfetied Castles, Manors, Lands, Tenements or Hereditaments since the 23. of Oct. 1641. allotted, assigned, enjoyed or set out to any Adventurer for adventures, or to Soldiers for arrears, to persons transplanted into the Province of Connaught or County of Clare, or their Assigns, or let by the late Usurpers for yearly Rents, or granted by the late usurped powers, & confirmed by your Majesty's said Declaration of the 30. of November 1660. and by this present Act, other than such of the Rents reserved on the premises, as were not paid to the late Usurpers, or to your Majesty, since your Majesty's happy restauration, but are yet in arrear and unpaid, and other than forfeited Lands, Tenements or Hereditaments concealed.

His Majesty's GRACIOUS DECLARATION FOR The Settlement of His Kingdom of Ireland, and satisfaction of the several Interests of Adventurers, Soldiers, and other His Subjects there.  
Charles' the Second, by the Grace of God King of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, etc. To all Our loving Subjects of Our Kingdom of Ireland, of what degree or quality soever, Greeting: It having pleased Almighty God out of his great mercy and compassion towards Us, and all Our Subjects, to restore Us in so wonderful a manner to each other, and with so wonderful circumstances of affection and confidence in each other, as must for ever fill Our Hearts (if We are in any degree sensible of such Blessings) with an humble and grateful acknowledgement of the Obligation We own to His Divine Providence, That he would vouchsafe to work that miracle for Us himself, which no endeavours of Our own could bring to pass: We think it agreeable to the just sense We have, and aught to have of the good affection of all Our good Subjects, who have contributed so much in bringing this unspeakable Blessing upon Us & themselves, that We acknowledge that our good Subjects in Our Kingdom of Ireland have born a very good part in procuring this happiness, that they were early in their dutiful Addresses to Us, and made the same professions of a resolution to return to their Duty and Obedience to Us, during the time of Our being beyond the Seas, which they have since so eminently made good, and put in practice: However it was not easy for us to make any public Declaration with reference to that Our Kingdom, there being many difficulties, in the providing for, and complying with the several Interests and Pretences there, which We were bound in Honour and justice in some degree to take care of, and which were different from the difficulties We were to contend with in this Kingdom: We well knew the Acts of Parliament which had formerly passed for the security of the Adventurers in that Kingdom, & had heard of the proceed which had been thereupon, by which very many Officers, Soldiers, and others, as well of this, as that Our Kingdom, were in possession of a great part of the Lands of that Our Kingdom, and of whose Interests we resolve to be very careful.  
We well remember the Cessation, and the Peace which Our Royal Father of blessed Memory had been forced during the late troubles to make with the Irish Subjects of that Our Kingdom, and by which he was compelled to give them a full pardon for what they had before done amiss upon their return to their Duty, and their promise of giving his Majesty a vigorous assistance, and that from that time divers persons of Honour and Quality had not (that We know or have heard of) swerved from their Allegiance towards him or Vs. We could not forget the Peace that Ourselves was afterwards necessitated to make with Our said Subjects, in the time when they who wickedly Usurped the Authority in this Kingdom, had erected that Odious Court for the taking away of the Life of Our dear Father; And then no body can wonder that we were desirous, though upon difficult conditions, to get such an United power of Our own Subjects, as might have been able, with God's blessing, to have prevented that infamous and horrible Parricide.  
And therefore We could not but hold Ourselves obliged to perform what we own by that Peace, to those who had honestly and faithfuly performed what they had promised to Us, though We and they were miserably disappointed of the effect of those promises, by an unhappy part of them which foolishly forfeited all the Grace which they might have expected from Vs.  
And in the last place, We did and must always remember the great affection a considerable part of that Nation expressed to Us, during the time of Our being beyond the Seas, when with all cheerfulness and obedience they received & submitted to Our Orders, and betook themselves to that service which We directed as most convenient and behooveful at that time to Us, though attended with inconveniency enough to themselves: Which demeanour of theirs, cannot but be thought very worthy of Our Protection, justice and Favour: And yet all these important considerations and obligations appeared so many contradictions to the present Interest of Our good Subjects in that Our Kingdom, who had at this time likewise merited very much from Us, and for whose security and advantage We held Ourselves obliged, to provide as well as for their Indemnity, and so the good Settlement of that Our Kingdom appeared much the more difficult unto Us, and even lessened and abated much of that joy of heart We found Ourselves possessed with, for the great blessings We enjoy in the peace and quiet of this our Kingdom of England.  
But We raised Our spirits again with the comfortable assurance that God who had wrought so much for Us in England would graciously bring his Work to the same perfection in Ireland, & not suffer Our good Subjects to weep in the one Kingdom, whilst they rejoiced in the other: And Our satisfaction was much increased, when upon conference with several of Our good Subjects (of that Nation) of Quality and Interest, who were concerned both as Soldiers and Adventurers,  
We found that they had a due sense of the Obligations which say upon Our Honour and justice; and were very willing, that We should comply with both, and that the Foundations of the Peace and Security of that Kingdom should be raised upon Our discharge of those Obligations; and after they had spent much time amongst others, who were as much, or more concerned than themselves, they freely consented to such conclusions as to Our understanding may reasonably take with all just Interests: And We cannot doubt but that all who have merited from Us, will confess that We have been so far from being failing to them, that We have as well provided for them, as after so great Troubles and Confusions, and after such blessed Circumstances of Our Restauration, they could reasonably expect, and that they will patiently wait for further instances of Our Favour and Kindness towards them, from the Peace, Unity, and Settlement of that Kingdom, and from their contributing to it by a full submission to these Our determinations herein, and hereafter more particularly expressed and declared.  
And therefore in the first place, in Order to a Settlement of that Interest claimed by the Adventurers, although the present Estates and Possessions they enjoy, if they were examined by the strict Letter of the Law, would prove very defective and invalid, as being no ways pursuant to those Acts of Parliament upon which they pretend to be founded, but rather seem to be a structure upon their subsequent assent, both to different Mediums and Ends, than the observance of those: Yet We being always more ready to consult (where the prejudice can only reflect upon Ourselves) with Our natural inclinations to mercy (We praise God We can say so) than with the positive Reason of Law: We do hereby declare, That all the Lands, Tenements, and Hereditaments, of which all or any of the Adventurers were possessed the Seventh day of May, One thousand Six hundred Fifty nine, having been allotted or set out to them, or enjoyed by them as Adventurers in satisfaction of, and for their Adventures, shall be confirmed and made good to them, their Heirs, and Assigns for ever, with allowance or correction of the Admeasurement, according to the Tenor & Directions of the respective Acts of Parliament of XVII and XVIII Caroli, as to English or Plantation Measure; except as is hereafter excepted: and that the deficient Adventurer, either in part or in whole, shall be satisfied out of the Moiety of the Counties of Limrick, Tipperary, and Waterford, in the Province of Munster, the King's County, the Queen's County, and the Counties of East-Meath and Westmeath, in the Province of Leinster, and the Counties of Down, Antrim, and Armagh, in the Province of Ulster, not yet set out to the said Adventurers; as also the Forfeited Lands in the County of Lowth, (except the Barony of Atherdee in the said County) and said Province of Leinster, such Adventurers claiming and making their difficiencies appear before the First day of May next: and in case the said Lands so for supply of deficiencies set forth, shall not be sufficient, We will appoint some other convenient Forfeited Lands for their satisfaction, so that all their deficiencies shall speedily be supplied.  
And whereas the Officers and Soldiers now of Our Army in Ireland, and that have been formerly of the Army in Ireland, have had also Lands set out to them respectively, in satisfrction of their arrears of Pay for their Service in that Our Kingdom, and are accordingly possessed of the same by former pretended Orders and Powers then in being: And although the incompetency of such Powers may justly render such Possessions and Estates liable to question, to Our very great advantage, if We should measure such advantage, rather by the increase of Our Revenue, then by the free and unbounded influence of Our Mercy and Favour: Yet in regard of Our Letter to General Monk from Breda, in the Twelfth Year of Our Reign, and of Our several Declaratione and Proclamations concerning the Army, and of the full assurance of the forwardness and readiness of the said Army, and loving Subjects in Ireland to contribute, as in Duty bound, all that in them lay for Our Restauration, We are pleased of Our special Grace and Favour to Declare, and do hereby Declare, That all Officers and Soldiers, their Heirs, and Assigns, who have been, and are of the said Army in Ireland, and to whom Lands have been given out in satisfaction of their Arrears for their Service in that Our Kingdom, and have by the general Convention of Ireland, or by any other public Act declared submission and obedience to Us, according to Our said Declaration of the 4/14 of April last, dated at Breda, shall enjoy their respective Estates conferred on them for their Arrears, for Service in the Kingdom of Ireland, according to their respective Possessions on the said Seventh Day of May, One thousand Six hundred Fifty nine, in full satisfaction of all such Arrears, for which Lands were set out to them respectively as aforesaid; so that they, and every of them, having received an equal proportion with others in the like case, are, and shall be for ever barred from demanding or receiving any further satisfaction therefore, although they had allowance but for Thirteen shillings in the Pound, or thereabouts. Excepting always out of all such Settlements to the said Adventurers and Soldiers, all and every such Estate, and Estates, wherein, or in procuring whereof, any Bribery, Forgery, Perjury, Subornation of Witnesses hath been used or practised, as also such part of any Estate hereby declared to be settled as aforesaid, which by false or undue Admeasurement hath been set forth, such Offence and Crime being discovered before the Twentieth day of December, One Thousand Six hundred Sixty one. Excepting also the Estate of all and every such person, or persons, that is, or are excepted in one Act past this present Parliament at Westminster, Entitled, An Act of Free and General Pardon, Indemnity, and Oblivion. Excepting also all such Lands as are commonly called Church-Lands, whether the same belong to Arch-Bishops, Bishops, or other Ecclesiastical persons whatsoever, that have been set out to Adventurers, Soldiers, or others: Neither shall this extend to give any benefit to such person or persons, as have, or shall by any overt Act proveably done, or to be done by him, or them, subsequent to Our Restauration, endeavour the disturbance of the public Peace, or have manifested any aversion to Our Restauration and Government, it being but very reasonable that the Abusers of so much Mercy held forth by Us, should not be partakers thereof. And excepting all such Estates, statutes, Mortgages, judgements, Leases, Lands, Tenements, and Hereditaments, and other profits and advantages, which have been decreed to any of Our Subjects by the respective Courts of Claims, and Court of Exchequer in Ireland, and the said Decrees not since reversed, although the premises are yet possessed, or witheld from those who have obtained the said Decrees by Adventurers, Soldiers, or others, to whom the same were set out, who are to be reprized in like manner as others provided for by this Declaration.  
And whereas several legal Encumbrances do, and may rest upon the Lands set out to Adventurers and Soldiers as aforesaid, We are pleased further graciously to declare, That the said Adventurers and Soldiers shall receive satisfaction out of the forfeited Lands in the County of Kildare, saving the Lands and Estate of Christopher Eustace, commonly called Mad-Eustace, in the said County, or elsewhere, which it is Our Will and Pleasure be forthwith restored to him and his Heirs, for all Statutes, Recognizances, judgements, Mortgages, Dowers, jointures, Lease for Life, or Lives, or for Years, Rent-Charge, or other such Encumbrances charged on their Estates, such Encumbrances being made appear by the 22. of October, 1661. before such as shall be thereunto Commissioned with all convenient speed after this Declaration.  
Being sensible, That several Officers who were engaged in Our Service in Ireland, and eminently acted and suffered therein, have by the partiality and injustice of the Powers then in being, received no satisfaction for the same, We are therefore further pleased graciously to declare, That all Commissioned Officers, their Heirs, or Assigns, who were in Regiments, Troops, or Companies, raised in Ireland, or transported out of England, and served Our Royal Father, or Ourselves in the Wars in Ireland, at any time before the Fifth of June, 1649. other then those who have received Lands or Money, for their pay due unto them since the Fifth Day of June, 1649. shall be satisfied their respective personal Arrears out of the particulars following, viz.  
Out of the forfeited Lands, Tenements, and Hereditaments, undisposed of to Adventurers or Soldiers, in the Counties of Wickloe, Longford, Leytrim, and Donnegal: Out of all the Forfeited Lands, Tenements, and Hereditaments, undisposed of in the Province of Connaught and County of Clare, lying within one mile of the River Shanon, (or of the Sea) commonly called the Mile-Line: Out of all the Houses and Tenements Forfeited in Ireland, in the several Walled Towns and Corporations, and Lands thereunto belonging, not already set out to the Adventurers or Soldiers in satisfaction of Adventures and Arrears, satisfaction being first made to such Protestants, who on Leases, or Contracts for Leases, have built or repaired Houses, or planted Orchards or Gardens, except the Houses, Tenements, and Hereditaments, in the Town of Wexford, already set out unto Martin Noel, and John Arthur, and now in their possession, which shall be confirmed to them, their Heirs and Assigns, out of the benefit arising from the Redemption of Mortgages, Statutes, Staples, and judgements, where the Lands are not already disposed of to Adventurers or Soldiers. Excepting always hereout such Mortgages, Statutes, judgements, as any Forfeiting persons of Ireland hath, or had on the Estate of James Lord Marquis of Ormond, Lord Steward of Our Household, or the Lady Marchioness his Wife, out of one Years Rend and Profits of the Lands set out to the Officers and Soldiers for their Arrears in the Year 1653. And likewise of the Army now in being, according as those respective said Estates yielded in the Year 1659. As also out of one year and a halfs Rend, and Profits arising out of the Lands for the Arrears of those Officers and Soldiers who were ordered, or received satisfaction for their said Arrears, in the Years, 1655, 1656, and 1657. according as the Estates yielded in the Year 1659.  
And it is further Declared, That all Commissioned Officers before One thousand Six hundred Forty nine, who have had no satisfaction in Lands, or otherwise, set out to them for Services, since One thousand Six hundred Forty nine, shall be immediately, out of the whole Security, that is above assigned for satisfaction of Arrears before One thousand six hundred Forty nine, satisfied Twelve shillings Six pence in the Pound of what is due to them: And then the remaining part of all the said respective Securities to be equally divided amongst all and every the said Commissioned Officers, who have any Arrears due for Services in Ireland, before One thousand Six hundred Forty nine: All which Rents above said and profits, shall be paid in such way and manner, as shall be by Us appointed: And also the said Houses, Lands, and Tenements, distributed and set out in such way and manner, as we shall appoint for the ends and uses aforesaid, the said Years Rend to be paid in the space of Two Years by even and equal proportions, half yearly; And the said Year and a halfs Rend in three years, by even and equal portions half yearly: For which Service, as also for stating the Arrears of the Commissioned Officers aforesaid, not yet stated, fit persons shall be speedily by Us Authorized.  
All which said Arrears, so to be stated, shall be stated before the Twenty nineth day of September, One thousand Six hundred Sixty one: And the several particulars for the above security for Officers, serving before One thousand Six hundred Forty nine, shall be immediately put out of Charge in Our Court of Exchequer: Whereof Our Chief Baron, and other Our Ministers of the said Court, are hereby required to take notice, and put the same in execution accordingly. And the said Securities are hereby committed and entrusted into the hands of such persons for the uses aforesaid, As the Duke of Albermarle, General of all Our Armies, and the Lord Marquis of Ormond, Lord Steward of Our Household, by Us hereby thereunto Authorized shall appoint, to be by them Let and set for the best advantage, and to the ends aforesaid: And they are also to Assign sit and convenient Salaries for such persons as shall be employed therein, The said Salaries to be assigned unto them out of the Profits of the said Securities.  
That such Protestants, whose Estates have been given out for satisfaction of Adventurers or Soldiers, or otherwise disposed of to any other persons, shall be forthwith restored to their former Estates, and a Reprisal of equal Value, Worth, and Purchase forthwith Assigned to such Adventurers or Soldiers, as shall be removed out of their said Estates. Provided no person or persons shall have the benefit hereof, who were in the Rebellion before the Fifteenth of September, One thousand Six hundred Forty and three, and have taken out Decrees for Lands in the Province of Connaught, or County of Clare, in recompense of their former Estates. And that such Adventurer, Soldier, or other persons, who have been, or shall be removed from the Estate of James Lord Marquis of Ormond, Lord Steward of Our Household, for what he possessed therefore for Adventure or Arrears, shall be Reprized in the County of Catherlaugh for the same; every person so to be removed shall not be accountable for the Profits he received, whilst he or they enjoyed such Estates. Provided always, That this Our Declaration, or any thing or matter therein contained, shall not extend to any Lands, Tenements, or Hereditaments, which James Lord Marquis of Ormond, Lord Steward of Our Household, or any of his Ancestors, Barons of Arckloe, Viscounts of Thurles, or Earls of Ormond, or Ossory, did at any time heretofore Mortgage, Grant, or Demise unto any person or persons in Fee, Fee-Farm, Fee-Tail, for Life or for Years, or for any other Estate or Interest; nor to any Lands, Tenements, or Hereditaments, held of the said James Lord Marquis of Ormond, mediately or immediately, as of any of his Manors, whereby the Forfeited, or Forfeitable Interest of any person or persons, in such Lands, Tenements, or Hereditaments, as aforesaid, may be settled in any Adventurer, Soldier, or any person whatsoever, other than the said James Marquis of Ormond and his Heirs: Provided that this shall not extend to any of the Lands held of James Marquis of Ormond, or the Lady Marchioness his Wife, as of any their Manors; but that all such Lands shall be held of the said James, and the Lady Marchioness, and their Heirs, by the same Tenure, and at the same Rents and Services as heretofore, any thing in this Our Declaration to the contrary contained notwithstanding.  
And whereas the Earl of Inchequin hath been dispossessed of his Estate, for his eminent Service, and adhering unto Us, and is now by Act of Parliament ordered to be restored to his said Estate, We are graciously pleased hereby further to Declare, That he be accordingly restored to his said Estate, and that such who shall thereby ●e removed, and are justly capable of reprize, that they shall be reprized, as others in l●ke cases are to be reprised. And whereas we understand, that by the ●●te usurped Powers, during the Distempers of these Ti●●● several Irish Proprietors of the Popish Religion, have been dispossessed of their Estates, merely for being Papists, and have shed out Decrees, and are possessed of Lands in the Province of Connaught, and County of Clare, in compensation of their former Estates, which being an Act of their own, We might without any injustice deny to relieve them in, yet so willing We are that any Interest intituling in self to Equitable mercy m●ght not be disappointed, that We declare, That all innocent Papists, being such as shall prove themselves to have been Faithful and Loyal unto, and never acted against Our Royal Father or Ourselves, since the two and twentieth day of October, One thousand six hundred forty one, though they have sued out Decrees, and are possessed of Lands in the Province of Connaught, or County of Clare, in lieu of their former Estates, shall notwithstanding be restored to their said Estates by the second of May, One thousand six hundred Sixty one; Provided that the said Lands in Connaught and Clare so allotted to the said Papists, be restored unto Us to Reprise others, or for satisfaction of such Irish Proprietors thereof, so far as this Declaration excludes them not; or if the said Lands in Connaught and Clare, or any part thereof, have been sold by any such Papist, that the said Papist out of his Estate, to which he is to be restored, shall pay the Purchase-Money to the said Purchaser, his Heirs, or Assigns; and whosoever either by Reprize or Restauration shall enjoy the said Lands, shall make satisfaction to the said Purchaser, for all necessary Reparations and Improvements upon the said Lands, before he be admitted to the possession of them; Provided also, That whatsoever Adventurer or Soldier that shall be removed from his present possession, to make room for any such Papist, shall forthwith have a Reprize of equal value, worth and purchase, in other Forfeited Lands. Provided always, That whereas the Corporations of Ireland are now planted with English, who have considerably improved at their own Charges, and brought Trade and Manufacture into that Our Kingdom, and by their Settlment there do not a little contribute to the Peace and Settlement of that Country, the disturbing or removal of which English would in many respects be very prejudicial; That all such of the Popish Religion, of any Corporations in Ireland, who have been for Public security dispossessed of their Estates, within any Corporation, shall be forthwith Reprized in Forfeited Lands, Tenements, and Hereditaments, near the said Corporations, to the full Value, Worth, and Purchase of such Estate, as he was dispossessed of within such Corporation; And that particularly the Popish Inhabitants of Cork, Youghall, and Kingsale, shall have undisposed Forfeited Lands set out to them in the Baronies of Barrimore and Muskerry in the County of Cork, according to their respective Decrees passed in that behalf; Provided that in the case of innocent Papists within the said respective Corporations, that were dispossessed as aforesaid, it shall remain in His Majesty's Power to grant restitution in like manner, as is provided in the case of other innocent Papists.  
We are also graciously pleased, that the Lands and Houses set out to any person or persons, for satisfaction of any Money lent, or public Debts incurred for Provisions, Arms, or Ammunition, furnished for support of Our Army in Ireland, in the beginning of the Rebellion, shall be and remain disposeable for the satisfaction of such of the said Debts, and Debentures for such Debts, as upon examination of the respective Cases shall appear most deserving consideration and satisfaction, in such proportions as shall be thought most equal and just.  
We are likewise graciously pleased to declare, That the Lands set out to George Duke of Albermarle, Captain General of Our Armies of England, Scotland and Ireland, for his Arrears and Service in Ireland, as also the Lands being for Arrears purchased by him, and whereof he is now possessed; and the Lands settled upon Roger Earl of Orrery, Charles Earl of Mountrath, Richard Lord Baron of Caloony, Chidley Coote, and Thomas Coote Esquires; the Relict and Heirs of Sir Simon Harcourt, Sir William Penn, and the Relict and Children of Col. George Cook, Sir Theophilus Jones, Sir. George Ayscough, and the Orphans of Colonel Owen O Connelly, for their Service and Sufferings in the War of Ireland, As also the Lands set out to Richard Urial, and Thomas Crostthwart; of One hundred Pounds per annum; As also all such Lands; Tenements, and Hereditaments, as Arthur Lord Viscount of Valentia, hath purchased from any persons in actual possession thereof, by virtue of any Grant, Order or disposition of the late Usurped Powers, or any of them, shall be settled and confirmed unto them, their Heirs and Assigns respectively: And also that Lands be set out to Major George Rawdoh in satisfaction of Debentures, due to him for Arrears and Provisions furnished for Ireland; Provided always, and We do hereby declare, that it is not Our intention thereby to weaken or avoid the Just and Legal City of any Person, that is restoreable by this Our Declaration; But that if any of the said Estates shall be accordingly restored to the former Proprietor, that then a Reprize of equal Value, Worth, and Purchase, shall forthwith be assigned in lieu thereof.  
And as We cannot but with extraordinary sadness of heart remember, and even at present behold the desolate and distracted condition, that Our Kingdom of Ireland hath been, and is reduced unto, by the unnatural Insurrection, begun in the Year One thousand Six hundred Forty one, and consequently abhor and detest the Contrivers and obstinate Promoters of the same against Us, Our Crown and Dignity: So We cannot upon the considerations formerly expressed in this Our Declaration, deny all Just and Reasonable Provision that may stand with the present juncture of Our Affairs unto such of the Irish Nation, who not only gave early Evidences of their Repentance for their Crimes, but also persevered in their Loyalty to Us and Our Commands: And that as near as We can, Our justice and Our Mercy, in accommodating this Interest might not justle each other, We are in a different manner to consider of such of them as are justly Entitled to the Benefit of those Articles of Peace formerly mentioned, and such who did not submit unto the same, or after a submission, made a departue from the same, which two latter sorts, have justly forfeited that Favour which otherwise they might have received. We are also further to consider of those who embraced the said Articles, and submitted to the said Peace without any Apostasy in a different notion, as of those who remained in that Our Kingdom, who sued out Decrees and received Lands, in satisfaction of their ancient Estates, and those who being Transported into Foreign parts, through many difficulties, United, Rendevouzed, and served under Our Obedience: So that upon these considerations, We think fit and declare, and accordingly do declare, That as to those who embraced the said Articles, and submitted to the said Peace, and constantly adhered thereunto, and remaining at home, sued out Decrees, and obtained possession of Lands in the Province of Connaught, or County of Clare, that they are to stand bound by them, and not to be relieved against their own Act, who contented themselves to enjoy a part of satisfaction for their own, rather than to attend our Restitution, or submit themselves to Our Command in Foreign parts as others did; And yet if the conditions of those seem hard, they can no more reasonably expect that We should further relieve them, than Our friends in England and Ireland can expect that we should pay back to them all the Moneys they were compelled in the evil Times to pay for their Compositions; which they would have avoided, had it been in their power.  
And in case any justly Entitled to the said Peace, have, obtained Decrees for Lands in the Province of Connaught, or County of Clare, in lieu of their former Estate●, and have not been possessed of lands according to such their respective Decrees, We further declare, That if by the First day of November, One thousand Six hundred Sixty one, they shall not be possessed of such Decreed lands, they shall immediately after the said day he otherwise satisfied for the same.  
And as to those who continued with Us, or served faithfully under Our Ensigns beyond the Seas, We think fit, and accordingly declare, That they shall be restored to their former Estates, if they by themselves, or Agents Authorised by them, have not prosecuted and obtained Decrees and lands in the Province of Connaught or County of Clare, in compensation of their former Estates, a Reprize being first assigned, and legally set out of the remaining Forfeited lands undisposed of, to such Adventurer or Soldier, or other person before named, of equal Value, Worth and Purchase to the Estate, out of which, such Adventurer or Soldier, or other person aforesaid, shall be so removed; Yet so, that if any Charge, Debt, or other legal encumbrance have been due upon, or out of any such lands, so to be restored, which by law or good Conscience ought to be discharged by the party so to be restored, And that the said Charges, Debts, or Encumbrances, have been discharged or satisfied by the party, his Heirs or Assigns, from whom such lands are now to be Reprized, that such persons, their Heirs or Assigns may, and shall hold the said lands until they are satisfied, and contented of and for the same: And that none of the persons so to be removed, shall be accountable for the Rents or Profits of the Estates out of which they shall be so removed, which Rents and Profits, and Arrears of Rents, they are respectively to receive until they are possessed of other Estates as aforesaid, as also reasonable consideration for reparations of Houses, and other necessary improvements made, and to be seen upon the premises, wherein like regard is to be had to the respective Tenants and Lessees for their Improvements, but where the Landlord took Fine, he is to be accountable for the same, towards satisfaction for their Improvements who paid the said Fine: And lest such Restorations and Reprizes, if not speedily effected, might be attended with many prejudices, to all parties concerned therein, We declare that the farthest time for accomplishing thereof, shall be by the Three and Twentieth day of October, One thousand Six hundred Sixty and one.  
And whereas divers persons, for most of whom a general provision is made by this Our Declaration, have for Reasons known unto Us, in an especial manner merited Our Grace and Favour; particularly the Earl of Clanricard, the Earl of Westmeath, the Earl of Fingal, the Earl of Clancartie, the Lord Viscount Gormanstown, the Lord Viscount Mountgarret, the Lord Viscount Dillon, the Lord Viscount Taaffe, the Lord Viscount Ikerryn, the Lord Viscount Nettervill, the Lord Viscount Galmoy, the Lord Viscount Mayo, the Lord Baron of Dunboyn, the Lord Baron of Trimletstown, the Lord Baron of Dunsany, the Lord Baron of Upper Ossory, the Lord Bermingham, Baron of Arthunry, the Lord Baron of Strabane, Colonel Richard Butler, Sir George Hamilton Knight and Baronet, Sir Richard Barnewel Baronet, Sir.

And though some, not sensible of the great perplexities We have laboured under, to reconcile these jarring Interests, may infer, That where We judge persons sitting to be restored to their Estates, yet the limitation of a previous Reprisal may Eclipse much of Our Grace: To this We say, That the laying of the Foundations is not now before Us, when We might design the Model of the Structure answerable to Our own thoughts; And how hard it would be, that the English after so many expensive difficulties in Suits of Law, and finding several Officers in Order to get the present possession they enjoy: And that after so many thousands of Families, who have sold their Interests in England, have transported and settled themselves in Ireland, and have made great improvements in Buildings and otherwise, should in the Interval of these accommodations (Reprisal not being first provided for) be dispossessed of their Houses and their Stocks (the sole subsistence of them and their Families) exposed to certainty of loss (though greater inconveniencies We pretermit) may easily be judged: To this We might add, That since the persons of the Irish, for whom we do hereby intent satisfaction, are such who have been abroad with Us, who probably being not furnished with Stock and other Provisions, may with less inconveniencies wait for a Reprisal, than to dispossess others, especially since we are fully assured that a very short time may and will Assign them their respective Reprizals, there being so good and large a proportion of undisposed Forfeited lands in Our Power reserved for this purpose, and We doubt not but the persons most concerned in this supposed prejudice, throughly weighing these inconveniencies, and that they will be but of a short duration, and how great and reasonable a dissatisfaction a contrary acting in Us will produce, will acquiesce therein, & by such a forbearance lay the Foundation of a good Understanding between themselves & those other their fellow-subjects who are to be settled with them in that Our Kingdom. And lest any Ambiguity or controversy might arise for precedency in restitution to their former Rights, We do Declare, That first all innocent Protestants, and those persons termed innocent Papists, (who never took out any Decree, or had lands assigned to them in Connaught or Clare) be first restored. In the next place, That those innocent Protestants and Papists, who took out Decrees, and had lands allotted to them in pursuance thereof in Connaught or Clare shall be restored. And that such transplanted persons as shall be dispossessed of their Decreed Estates in Connaught or Clare, by virtue of this Our Declaration, shall be Reprized out of other Forfeited lands of equal value, worth, and purchase in the said Province of Connaught, or County of Clare, or elsewhere, before they be dispossessed of their said Estates. And that then such of the Irish Papists who constantly served under Our Ensigns abroad, having right to the Articles of Peace, are to be restored, of which if any dispute shall be of their Capacity of Privilege herein, We shall by further intimation of Our pleasure to Our Chief Governor or Governors in that Our Kingdom, and Council there, give a final Resolve and Determination therein. Yet this is always so to be understood, That whatsoever person or persons in the next precedent Qualifications shall find any part of his or their Estates, not already disposed, or not designed to be disposed to the ends aforesaid, expressed in this Our Declaration, That such person or persons, their Heirs, or Assigns, shall be respectively restored to his or their said Estates.  
And We further declare, That in respect many have contracted very just Debts for furnishing Arms, Ammunition, and other necessary provisions for carrying on the War in Ireland, before One thousand Six hundred Forty nine, for which they have given security, and so made themselves liable to suit and hazard, which in all equity ought to be provided for; That after such Reprizals made as aforesaid, satisfaction shall be set forth out of the remaining lands in Our disposal, to such persons, their Heirs and Assigns.  
And We are graciously pleased further to Declare, That every Adventurer and Soldier, their Heirs and Assigns, settled in lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, as aforesaid; And every person restored unto, or Reprized for his Estate, as is formerly mentioned, shall pay unto Us, Our Heirs and Successors yearly for ever, the Rents following, viz. For every Acre in the Province of Leinster Three pence: For every Acre in the Province of Munster Two pence Farthing: For every Acre in the Province of Connaught One penny Half penny; And for every Acre in the Province of Ulster One penny, accounting as to the payment of the said Rend only, One hundred and Sixty Pearches to the Acre, and Sixteen Foot and a half to the Perch. And all such as receive satisfaction for their Arrears out of the Houses and Tenements in the several corporations in Ireland, one shilling six pence yearly out of every Twenty shillings Rend, so that the Rent formerly reserved on such Estates so to be restored, exceed not the Rent hereby reserved. But if the said Rend formerly reserved do exceed the Rent hereby to be reserved, the said former Rent only shall be paid, and the said Estates respectively shall be discharged from payment of the Rent or Rents hereby reserved. And it is Our further pleasure, and We do hereby declare, That all Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments thus settled and to be settled upon Adventurers, shall be held of Us, Our Heirs and Successors in Free and common Soccage, as in the Statute of the Seventeenth Caroli is limited and appointed; And that all Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments settled or to be settled on the Soldiers who are out of the said Act, and not provided for by it, shall be held of Us, Our Heirs and Successors by Knight's service, in Capite.  
All other particulars above mentioned being fully effected, we trust through the goodness of God, that that near ruined Kingdom will be restored to peace & plenty. And that by such signal evidences of our justice, favour, & mercy, the wicked will be deterred from their wickedness, & the good encouraged & confirmed in resolutions of loyalty towards us, and peace among one another. And as in this Our Declaration, we have made choice of those means, which in Our Wisdom and judgement We have esteemed most conducible to the Quiet and Settlement of that Our Kingdom, so We esteem it necessary further to declare, That it is Our firm intention forthwith to call a Parliament in that Our Kingdom, and effectually to recommend unto Our Chief Governor or Governors, Privy Council, and Our said Parliament, the establishing by Laws there, all the particulars mentioned in this Our Declaration, and such others as shall be found necessary for the good of Our People there; and after such Bills are past, that then an Act of Free and General Pardon, Indemnity and Oblivion, shall be granted to all Our Subjects of and in Ireland, notorious Murderers only excepted.  
And because We are too credibly assured, That in the Decrees and judgements given for Forfeited lands in the Province of Connaught and County of Clare, much injustice and fraud hath been used, We shall recommend the whole review of that business to Our Chief Governor or Governors for the time being, and Our Privy Council and Commissioners or some of them, to the end, that whatever irregularity shall be found in those proceed may by their Care and Wisdom be rectified, and the Just part thereof confirmed. As also, that a suitable Act for Ireland for confirming judicial proceed there in the four Courts, may be there past; And another Act for ratifying all Decrees and judgements in the Court of Claims, and Exchequer of Dublin, and the Claims of Our Protestant Subjects of Ireland, that so all Our Subjects being legally settled and confirmed in their lives, properties and Estates, they may without fear for the Future betake themselves to mend the Ruins and Desolations of so long and bloody War, and live in comfort and unity. And We more than hope that by Our thus proceeding, the World will believe nothing of Our own Advantage can come in competition with the Peace and Good of Our Subjects; for We reserve little to Ourselves but the satisfaction of contenting all Interests, at the price of freely parting with almost all the great Forfeitures vested in Us by Law in that Our Kingdom: And if by this Indulgence We shall attain that desired end, it will be much more considerable unto Us, than the rate at which We purchase it.  
And We further Declare, That whereas several of the Adventurers and Soldiers having made a thankful estimation of our grace and favour expressed by this our Declaration, in settling them in a peaceable possession and right of what they enjoy, by Our waving those many advantages devolved upon us by law, have voluntarily expressed their own willingness and confidence of the forwardness of all the rest of their Brethren, in contributing One half years full value of the profits arising of the said lands as aforesaid, set out for their respective Adventures and Arrears, to be paid in One year, towards the Relief and Reparations of the losses of such as We shall judge have most eminently acted for, and suffered with Us; And that several of the Adventurers having expressed their own willingness, and confidence of the forwardness of the rest of the Adventurers to bestow upon Us as a further evidence of that thankfulness, in consideration of Our Grace and Favour in the aforesaid Settlement, One other half years Rend more of full value to be paid in One other year: We cannot but declare Our Acceptance of such their free and kind offer; and when a Bill shall be tendered unto Us upon the account, and for the ends aforesaid, it shall be received by Us as graciously as such an evidence of their affection and respect doth deserve.

C. R.  
WHEREAS by Our said Declaration of the thirtieth of November, One thousand six hundred and sixty, We have made provision for the Settlement of Our Kingdom of Ireland, and Satisfaction of the several Interests of Adventurers, Soldiers and others Our Subjects there, which we are minded to put in effectual Execution: We have therefore hereby nominated you, or any five or more of you, whereof two of the persons following to be always present, (viz.)

You are to cast up the whole Debt and Demand of the Adventurers, as well those that are satisfied, as those that are in part or in whole deficient, as also all the forfeited Lands assigned to, or for the said Adventurers, according to the Survey commonly called Doctor Petty's Down Admeasurement: And the said Demands and Lands you are to compare together, and what the said Lands fall short of satisfying the said Adventurers, according to the Rates, Measures and Proportions, of which all or any of the Adventurers were possessed the Seventh of May One thousand six hundred fifty nine, so much of the forfeited Lands in the County of Lowth in the Province of Leinster, (except the Barony of Atherdee) you are to set apart for satisfaction of the said Adventurers; And if the said forfeited Lands shall fall short of satisfying the said Adventurers, you are then to add the forfeited Lands undisposed by Our said Declaration, in the County of Catherlogh; And if those shall fall short; then the Lands remaining undisposed of in the County of Kildare, to supply all the said Adventurers deficiencies; And if those Lands fall short, than you are apart other forfeited Lands in some convenient place for the end aforesaid.  
And in order to the more particular apportioning or dividing the said Lands amongst the said Adventurers, and satisfying their deficiencies, & ascertaining their respective proportions, You are to cause public Proclamation to be made within the respective Counties, Cities, Baronies, and places in Ireland, thereby directing each Adventurer, his Assignee or Assignees, or his or their Agent or Agents, sufficiently authorized, that hath received any satisfaction in Land for his Adventure, within forty days after such Proclamation, to deliver unto you in writing under his Hand and Seal a particular of the Houses, Lands, Tenements, and Hereditaments possessed by him, together with the content or number of Acres both profitable and unprofitable, in each Town-Land, Village, Balybo, or Quarter of Land, as the same were admeasured to him, or for his use, and in the Right of whom he claimeth such Adventure. And if such Adventure be for Houses in any city, such Adventurer is to deliver in, not only the particular Houses, Tenements and Hereditaments by him possessed, but also the value of them respectively, as set out to him, or any other for his use.  
And if any Adventurer, or the Assignee or Assignees of such Adventurers as aforesaid, shall neglect to return a Certificate as abovesaid, or shall wittingly make and deliver a false Certificate of the sums he was to be satisfied, according to the several Acts passed in the Parliament begun at Westminster the third day of November, in the year of Our Lord One thousand six hundred and Forty, and in the sixteenth Year of the Reign of Our Royal Father, entitled, An Act for the speedy and effectual reducing of the Rebels in his Majesty's Kingdom of Ireland, to their due obedience to his Majesty and the Crown of England An Act for adding unto, and explaining of certain clauses in another Act made this Parliament, entitled, An Act for the speedy and effectual reducing of the Rebels in his Majesty's Kingdom of Ireland, to their due obedience to his Majesty and the Crown of England An Act for the further advancement of an effectual and speedy reduction of the Rebels in Ireland to the obedience of his Majesty and the Crown of England An Act for a speedy Contribution and Loan towards the relief of his Majesty's distressed Subjects of the Kingdom of Ireland An Act to enable Corporations and Bodies Politic to participate of the benefit of an Act lately passed, entitled, An Act for the speedy and effectual reducing of the Rebels in his Majesty's Kingdom of Ireland, to their due obedience to his Majesty and the Crown of England:;;;; Or shall neglect to return a Certificate as aforesaid, or willingly make and deliver a false Certificate of the Town-Lands, Villages, Balyboes, Quarters, or other Denominations of Land assigned or given out for satisfaction of the said Debt or Demand, or of the content or number of Acres, according as the same was set out to him or them, such Adventurer, or his Assignee shall forfeit for three years the Rents and Profits that such Houses, Lands, Tenements, Hereditaments shall yield, that he shall so omit to certify, or that he shall not rightly certify; such Forfeiture to be one Moiety to Us, and the other to be for and towards the defraying the charges in executing this Our Commission.  
Provided, a Discovery be made thereof before the three and twentieth of October One Thousand Six Hundred Sixty Three.  
That such of the said Adventurers and Soldiers as have taken Surveys of their Lands, do at or before the nine and twentieth day of September One thousand six hundred sixty two, bring in to you the said Surveys or Duplicates thereof, together with the Field-Books, (if in their possessions) the which you are carefully and exactly to compare with the Surveys taken by Order of the late pretended Powers; And if you shall find any considerable difference between the said Surveys, you are to ascertain such Adventurers and Soldiers possessions by such of the Surveys as shall appear most for Our advantage, and furtherance of this Service. Yet so, that if such Adventurer or Soldier shall think himself aggrieved thereat, You shall appoint one or more sworn Surveyors to re-survey the said Lands in question, such Surveyor returning his Field-Book to some other sworn Surveyor, to examine, cast up, and make up the same, such Adventurer or Soldier paying the said Surveyor for their said work, and in the mean such Adventurer and Soldier to be continued in possession according to the Survey which shall appear as aforesaid, most for Our Advantage: and if any one shall without cause complain, and obtain a re-survey, he shall, as a penalty for so doing, forfeit so much land as he claims to want, and shall not be found wanting. And if any suggestion or information shall be made to the Lord Lieutenant, or other Chief Governor or Governors of Ireland for the time being, That profitable lands are held and possessed as unprofitable, the same shall be inquired of by a jury, and such lands as were surveyed and set out to Adventurers and Soldiers, or their Assigns, as unprofitable, and shall by such inquiry be found profitable, shall be re-assumed to supply Deficiencies, or make Reprisals. Out of which said Certificates and Surveys, and by such other lawful ways and means as you shall think fit, you are to make up Books of what is due to each Adventurer, and to ascertain the possession of such to whom lands are assigned, therein expressing who was the former Proprietor who forfeited the same the three and twentieth of October One thousand six hundred forty one, or since; the Town-land, Village, Balyboe, Quarter, or other Denomination of Land, the content, or number of Acres, the Parish, Barony, County and Province, in which such Lands do lie respectively; and where you shall find any Adventurer or his Assign to have more Lands than will satisfy his Adventure, and that such Adventurer be in any other place deficient, or shall buy the Right of any deficient Adventurer, that such Over-plus Lands shall be assigned unto him towards satisfaction of such deficiencies: and having brought things to this certainty, you are to set out Lands to the deficient Adventurer in such way as shall be most indifferent and impartial, and pursuant to the Acts of Parliament.  
Whereas We have been graciously pleased to appoint the Forfeited Lands in the County of Kildare, for satisfaction of Encumbrances on the Estates of Adventurers and Soldiers, according to Our said Declaration; in the satisfying thereof, you are to observe these following Directions, viz.  
To examine in the Books and Records of the late Court of Claims, or Exchequer, or other Courts, what Decrees or judgements were passed and allowed to be satisfied out of the Estates of the said Adventurers and Soldiers, the Adventurer and Soldier claiming satisfaction for such Encumbrance, shall make it appear that the said Decreed Lands are set out unto him as part of his lot, and he thereby Entitled to the Reprize for the said Encumbrance. If such Encumbrance be by Mortgage, Statute Staple, judgement, Recognizance, or of any sum of Money on the payment whereof the Land so Encumbered is to be free and discharged, you are then to set out Lands in the said County of Kildare, for satisfaction of the said Encumbrance after the rate of Ten years' purchase to be ascertained by inquiry, in way and manner, as is hereafter directed for the Reprize of such Adventurers and Soldiers as shall be removed from off their present Estates, or according to such other particular Directions, as you shall receive herein from Us, or from Our Chief Governor or Governors and Council of that Our Kingdom for the time being, agreeable to Our said Declaration: If such Encumbrance be a Rent-charge or Yearly Rend, issuing or payable out of the Estates of the said Adventurers or Soldiers for ever, or for years, or for life, You are then to put a Rate or Value on such Rent-charge, not exceeding Ten years Purchase, for an Estate for ever, or Six years' Purchase if for life, or for any term under Ten years, or Seven years' Purchase if for Two lives, or any term above Ten years and under Twenty one years, or Eight years' purchase for any term above Twenty one years, and under Thirty one years, and Nine years' Purchase for all above Thirty one years, which shall be satisfied out of the said Forfeited lands in the said County of Kildare, after the Rate aforegoing. If such Encumbrance be by Lease or Leases for term of years, or for life or lives, you shall, as is before directed, inquire after the damage such Adventurer or Soldier sustains by virtue of such Lease; and if the said term shall not exceed seven years, or the damage be not one third part of the full value of the said Lands set out to him, you shall not assign any recompense or Reprize; but if such damage be for above Seven years, or above one third part of the profits of such Estate, satisfaction is to be given in way and manner as in the preceding Instructions is directed: The which Lands being thus set out, allotted and distributed to the said Adventurers, and Reprized to the said Adventurers and Soldiers, you are to give unto them respectively a Certificate of what Lands are so set out unto them, with the number of acres, Denominations of the said Lands, the Parish, Barony and County such Lands are in, and who Forfeited the same; which Certificate the said Adventurers & Soldiers are forthwith to Record in Our Court of Exchequer, upon which Our said Court is to give Order to Our respective Sheriffs to put the said Adventurers and Soldiers, their Assigns or Agents, into the possession of such Lands so allotted, divided, and set out, or reprized, as aforesaid.  
Whereas by Our said Declaration the Estates of every person or persons that sat as judges in the pretended High Court of justice, upon the Life of Our Royal Father of blessed Memory, or who Sentenced him, or who Signed or Sealed the Warrant for Execution, or who were of the Guard of Halberteers, assisting to put the Bloody Sentence of Death in execution upon the Thirtieth of January, One thousand Six hundred Forty eight, are not confirmed: You are therefore to inquire what Estates any of the said persons had, and to return Certificates thereof into Our Court of Exchequer, which Court is hereby required to seize the same to Our use, and for the increase of Our Revenue, except so much of the same lands, Tenements and Hereditaments lately belonging to John Cook, as by Our Letters of the Twenty fourth of November last was granted by Us to Sir George Lane Knight, for his faithful Service, which it is Our will and pleasure shall be confirmed to him, his Heirs and Assigns accordingly; and that all proceed necessary for the finding Our Title thereunto, and to the lands, Tenements and Hereditaments of Philip Hoare of Kilsalchan in the same letter to the said Sir George Lane granted, be speedily made by Our Officers and Ministers entrusted in that behalf, and that thereupon letters Patents be passed thereof, or of any other Forfeited Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments given or granted by Our said letters in lieu thereof under Our Great Seal of Ireland; to the said Sir George Lane, his Heirs and Assigns, according to the direction of Our said letters, in the most large, favourable, and benign acceptation thereof. You are by the best way and means you can to inquire after all Forged Debentures, or Bills on which any lands have been set out, either to Adventurers or Soldiers, and forthwith certify such Forgeries into Our Court of Exchequer, that such persons may be proceeded against according to law: The like you are to do after the Estates of such as have procured or obtained the possession of any Estate by Perjury, Bribery, or Subornation of Witnesses, or false, or undue admeasurement to Our prejudice, To the end such Estate or Estates so unjustly obtained may be seized, according to the Tenor of Our said Declaration.  
And whereas many being conscious of their own guilt or evil intentions, with respect to the most heinous Rebellion begun the Three and Twentieth of October, One thousand Six hundred Forty and One, have made private Settlements of their Estates, and many of Our Protestant Subjects having formerly Mortgaged their Houses, Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, unto such as have Forfeited the same in these evil and unsettled Times, have notwithstanding entered upon and keep possession of Our Right, You are therefore in the best way and manner you can to make a Discovery of all such or any other concealments to Our prejudice; In Order whereunto, Our Officers in Our Four Courts of Dublin, or in the Office for Probat of Wills, are required to be aiding and assisting to you herein, and from time to time to search after such matters or things as you shall judge for Our Service, to inquire after and to attend you with such Records as you shall judge needful.  
Whereas by Our said Declaration several innocent Protestants and Papists are to be restored to their Estates, and a Reprize of equal value, worth and purchase is to be assigned to such Adventurers and Soldiers, and other persons as do possess the same; in the doing thereof, you are to observe these following directions, viz.  
Not to restore any as an innocent Papist, that at, or before the Cessation, which was made upon the Fifteenth day of September, One thousand Six hundred Forty and three, were of the Rebel's party, nor any who being of full Age and sound Memory, enjoyed their Estates Real or Personal, in the Rebel's Quarters: Provided that where any Citizen or Inhabitant of the City of Cork, or of the Town of Youghal, or any other person or persons were not permitted to live in the English Quarters, but were expelled from thence, and driven into the Quarters of the Rebels, that than and in such case such inhabiting in those Quarters, and there receiving any benefit of their Estates, shall not be construed or adjudged any bar or impeachment of their Innocence; nor such as entered into the Roman-Catholick Confederacy, at any time before the Articles of Peace concluded, One thousand Six hundred Forty and eight; nor such as at any time adhered to the Nuntioes, or Clergies party, or Papal power, in opposition to the King's Authority; nor such as have been Excommunicated for adhering to the King's Authority, and afterwards owned their Offences for so doing, and were relaxed thereupon from their Excommunication; nor such who derived their Titles to their Estates from any who died guilty of any the aforementioned Crimes, nor such as pleaded the Articles of Peace for their Estates, nor such as being in the Quarters which were under the authority of Our Royal Father, or Ourselves held correspondency with, or gave Intelligence to such as were then in opposition against Our said Royal Father, or Ourselves in Ireland; nor such as before any of the Peace's in One thousand Six hundred Forty and six, or One thousand Six hundred Forty and Eight sat in any of the Confederate Roman-Catholick Assemblies or Councils, or acted upon any Commissions or Powers derived from them, or any of them; nor such as impowered Agents or Commissioners to treat with any Foreign Papal power beyond Seas, for bringing into Ireland Foreign Forces, or were persons which acted in such Negotiations; nor such persons as have been Wood-kernes or Tories before the Marquis of clanrickard's leaving the Government of that Kingdom.  
You are to take care that the Adventurers and Soldiers in the Possessions of the Estates of any innocent Protestant or Papist restored to his said Estate by Our said Declaration, be forthwith Reprized as in Our said Declaration is directed, therein observing the signification of Our pleasure in Our said Declaration, for the Reprizing such as shall be removed from the Estates of innocent Protestants or Papists at the time they shall be so removed.  
In the next place you are to take care, That the Adventurers, Soldiers, or other persons possessed of any of the Estate or Estates of such persons, to whom we have by Our said Declaration assigned a particular favour, and are in a distinct Branch thereof by name expressed, be Reprized as in Our said Declaration is directed; and the said persons restored to their former Estates from the time that such Adventurers or Soldiers shall be so Reprized; observing always the further cautions and provisions in Our said Declaration expressed, referring to the said persons restauration: If any who by Our said Declaration are to be restored to their former Estates, have or shall without Order molest, disturb, or unquiet any of the Adventurers, Soldiers, or other persons in the possession of their respective Estates, or for the mean profits thereof contrary to what is directed and provided for in Our said Declaration, such person or persons until they shall surcease such disturbance, or having taken possession, shall redeliver the same to the person so dispossessed, and account and satisfy unto him the Damages sustained thereby, shall have no benefit of the Grace and Favour held forth by Our said Declaration to him or them respectively: And in case any person or persons that hath so disturbed or dispossessed any Adventurer or Soldier, or their Assigns of any Houses, Lands or Tenements, formerly Assigned for Adventurers or Arrears, and by such Adventurers or Soldiers quietly enjoyed shall not as aforesaid quietly resign the possession of such Lands to such Adventurers or Soldiers, or their Assigns:  
That you do then forthwith give Order to Our respective Sheriffs to put such Adventurers, Soldiers, or their Assigns into quiet possession of such Estates, which Orders of yours Our said respective Sheriffs are hereby required strictly to observe accordingly.  
Provided nevertheless, That where such person or persons so dispossessed and to be restored to his or their former estates by the next preceding instruction, shall be contented to submit to a reprize; that in such cases you are forthwith to set out lands in some convenient place for the Reprizing him or them accordingly; You are to take care that all that by Our said Declaration are to be restored to their former Estates, do before such restauration to their said Estates, under their Hands and Seals exhibit unto you the ground upon which he or they claim the benefit of Our said Declaration, and a particular of their respective Estates; in which, you are to take care that they claim no other Lands than what did rightfully belong to them, and was in their Real possession the Two and Twentieth day of October, One thousand Six hundred Forty and one.  
And if any one so to be restored shall make a claim that he or they are not Entitled unto, or make and deliver unto you a false particular of his said Estate, and therein include other Lands than what he or they so Entitled unto and possessed of as aforesaid, or having to any Irish Papist or person excepted from confirmation of his Estate in Our said Declaration, Mortgaged or otherwise encumbered his or their said Estates, either before the said Two and twentieth of October, One thousand Six hundred Forty and one, or since that day, or have sold the same to any such Irish Papist or excepted person, and shall not particularly express the same in the said particular so to be delivered; in all such cases, such person or persons offending herein, for such offence shall forfeit the full value of the Land so endeavoured to be gained out of any other Lands to be restored to him by virtue of Our said Declaration: You are forthwith to Reprize such Adventurers, Soldiers, and other persons, who are now in the possession of the Estate of the Earl of Clancarty; As also to satisfy Erasmus Smith Esq his deficiency, as an Adventurer in some convenient Forfeited Lands in the County of Lowth, that he may be better enabled and encouraged to answer those public pious Uses in incorporating Five Free-Schools within that Our Kingdom, for which he hath petitioned for Our Licence, and to Reprize him the said Erasmus Smith such Lands now or lately in his possession that are restored or restorable to the former Proprietors: And to accept from Peter Wallis Esq a surrender of the great Island near Ross in the County of Wexford, and Reprise him the same in the County of Cork on the Lands now in the said Peter Wallis his possession, not exceeding the yearly value of what the said Island may be set for.

And to the end the said Adventurers and Soldiers so to be removed, may be reprised with all indifferency, as in Our said Declaration is directed; Where We appoint not a particular Reprize, You shall forthwith nominate and appoint fit and indifferent persons in each Corporation, County, and Place in Ireland, where any of the said Estates are, to examine upon Oath, and by all other good Ways and Means, the value of such Estates, and the Improvements made thereon, and to return a Certificate thereof under their hands and seals to you accordingly, in due form, therein distinguishing the Value of such Estate from the Improvements made thereon by the said persons to be removed, The same to be returned unto You by a short time to be by You limited, upon return whereof you are by like Ways and Means to inquire of the Value of some other Forfeited Lands, not already disposed of, and forthwith assign the same to such Adventurers, Soldiers, or other persons so to be removed, as in Our said Declaration is expressed, taking care to reserve the Forfeited lands in the County of Dublin, till all other Forfeited Lands be disposed of, unless we shall otherwise direct, to the end such of the Inhabitants of any Corporation as have been removed for security, may be Reprized as far as Our Declaration provides for his or their Estates in such Corporation, in some convenient place near such Corporations.  
You are to take care that the undisposed Forfeited Lands near such Corporations, be preserved to reprize such Inhabitants, except the Lands near Cork, Youghal and Kinsale, for which Lands are assigned as aforesaid.

Whereas We have been graciously pleased to make provision for the Satisfaction of the Personal Arrears of such Protestant Officers who served in Our Kingdom of Ireland at any time from the three and twentieth of October One thousand six hundred forty & one, as by the partiality of the Times have received no satisfaction for their Service before the Fifth of June One thousand Six Hundred Forty Nine, and for the stating the Arrears of such of them as have not had their Arrears stated, as in Our Declaration of the Thirtieth of November One Thousand Six Hundred and Sixty, is provided for. You, or any five or more of you, as aforesaid, are therefore to observe and follow therein these Instructions following: Viz.

In Order whereunto, you are to value the Houses, Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments at eight years' purchase, deducting the value of such Improvements as shall appear, as aforesaid, to have been made on Houses, Orchards, or Gardens; And if by the said Estimate you shall find the said Security will not extend to satisfy twelve shillings & six pence in every pound of the said arrears, you are to proportion the said satisfaction according to the said Security with equality & indifferency; You shall then expose all such Houses, Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments to sale, first giving public notice of the time & place of such sale, to the end that all persons concerned may give their attendance; In which sale, You are to make special provision that such Officer or Officers, or their Assigns, who shall so purchase any of the said Houses, Lands, Tenements or Hereditaments within any Corporation, do enter Security before you grant to him or them any Certificate, as is hereafter directed, to satisfy such as by virtue of any Lease or Contract for Lease, have built or improved any house, or planted any Orchard or Garden, either in money, or else by granting unto such person or persons a Lease or Leases of the premises at a Rent proportionable to the said Improvements; and that if any Controversy shall happen therein, the same shall be determined by You, or such as the Chief Governor or Governors of that Our Kingdom for the time being, and Our Council there shall appoint upon the place, to hear and determine the same.  
You are to sell all the said Houses, Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments publicly, and at the time and place appointed to such person or persons who will give most for the same, which being sold, You shall forthwith enter such Sales in Books for that purpose to be prepared and provided. Nevertheless that no such sale shall be good or allowed, where the purchase shall not amount unto eight years' purchase, or upwards, according to the Rates set by you on such Houses, Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, Deductions or Allowance being made for the improvements as aforesaid.  
Provided always, that there be for every Twenty Shillings that such House, Orchard, or Garden-plot is worth, to be let, Eighteeen pence yearly reserved to Us, Our Heirs and Successors for ever; And you are to return Duplicates of Our said Books to Our Vice-Treasurer and Receiver-General: You are to take care that all such Officers who shall purchase any of the said Houses, Lands, Tenements or Hereditaments, do within Fourteen days after the Contract or Bargain for the same, deliver up unto you so many Debentures as such Purchase doth amount unto, which Debentures you shall cancel; and if any thing remain above the Purchase-Money, give unto them others for the remaining part not satisfied, the which Debentures so delivered upon the said Purchase, shall at the making of the Contract be fairly entered in books for that purpose to be kept: And if any such Purchaser or Purchasers shall fail so to deliver up Debentures according to his Purchase as aforesaid, such Sale or Purchase shall not be good or allowed unto such Purchaser or Purchasers, nor such Officers Debentures admitted in any other Purchase.  
Provided always, That where any Purchaser shall purchase with Money, he shall pay down one fifth part of the Money at the making the said Contract, and the remaining part within Eight and twenty days; and failing of the said payment within Eight and twenty days, he shall forfeit the said Fifth part paid, and the Purchase shall be void; and the Money so paid in Purchase shall be towards satisfaction of the Arrears of the said Officers: The said Purchase being fully perfected in manner as aforesaid, you are to give unto such purchaser or purchasers, a Certificate of the particulars thereof, which Certificate such persons shall forthwith Record in Our Surveyor General's Office, whereupon Our Court of Exchequer shall forthwith grant an Order for the quiet possession of the Premises. For your more full information, as well of the particulars aforesaid, as in the Value, Worth, Quantity, Quality, Situation of such Houses, Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments so to be sold, you are to have recourse to the Surveys taken of them; and where you shall suspect such Surveys faulty, you are to appoint fit persons to Re-survey and Certify the same unto you.  
Whereas the Corporation of Bandon-Bridge having formerly issued several sums of Money and Provisions, for the Pay and Support of the Army in Ireland, to whom in consideration of the said Moneys and Provisions, Lands have been assigned and set out, upon the Receipt of which Lands they have delivered up their Vouchers, you are therefore to examine what Lands have been assigned and set out to them, and to settle so much thereof upon the said Corporation as shall amount unto the clear yearly value of One hundred pound by the year: You are also to take care that the Lands set out to Susanna Bastick and her Children be accordingly confirmed to them.  
And whereas We have by Our said Declaration assigned the benefit arising from the Redemption of Mortgages, Statute Staples, and judgements, where the Lands are not already disposed of to Adventurers or Soldiers, for and towards the satisfaction of such Officers who received no satisfaction for their Arrears before the Fifth day of June One thousand Six hundred Forty nine, you are therein to observe these following Directions:  
You are to have recourse to the Records of the late Court of Claims and Our Court of Exchequer, or other Courts, the better to ascertain your knowledge what Lands were so encumbered; as also, if you shall see cause, you are to make inquiry in all places within Our Kingdom of Ireland, for the Discovery of such Mortgages, Statute Staples, judgements, and other Encumbrances: And after such particular knowledge of the premises obtained on the remaining term, you are to make a just Estimate according to the Rates currant of what the Fee-simple of such Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, lying under the said Encumbrances are worth, always deducting the Moneys to be paid in order to discharge the said Encumbrance, and the same particularly and distinctly to enter into one or more Books fitted for that purpose; and if the person Entitled to the Encumbrance will pay what the Land amounts to in value above the Moneys payable in discharge of the said Encumbrance, than such person is to have the absolute Estate of the said Lands legally settled to him and his Heirs; But if such person shall refuse to pay the said Over-plus, then if any Officer interested in the said Security, will purchase any part thereof, he shall after discharge of the Encumbrance out of the common Stock of the said Security enjoy the same as far as his Debenture, or so much thereof as he shall place thereupon shall reach: And for such part of the benefit arising out of such Encumbered Lands, which shall not be purchased by any Officer as aforesaid, it shall be put to Sale, and the Monies by such Sales shall be for the satisfaction, as is in Our Declaration expressed.  
And whereas We have assigned a years Rent, and a year and a halfs Rend payable by the Soldiery in Ireland, towards the satisfaction of such as in our said Declaration are expressed; you are therefore to take care that the said Moneys and Rents be paid unto such persons as We shall particularly appoint to receive the same, who are hereby Authorized and impowered from time to time by Proclamation or otherwise, to cause public notice to be given to the respective Adventurers, Soldiers, and others, who are to pay the said moneys of the manner & place for payment thereof; And if any Adventurer, Soldier or other person shall refuse or neglect to pay his or their moneys in way or manner, and at the place so to be appointed; the Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments of such person so failing, shall be seized into Our Hands, and so continue for Security and Satisfaction of the said several Rents. And the said Soldiers are to pay the said moneys unto such persons as We shall appoint to collect and receive the same, who are to pay over the same unto Our Right Trusty and well Beloved Cousin and Counsellor Arthur Lord Viscount Valentia, Our Vice-Treasurer of that Our Kingdom, who is hereby required to issue forth the same according to such Warrants or Orders as he shall from time to time receive from any five or more of You, as aforesaid, for and towards the Satisfaction of the aforesaid Arrears: And to the end Our said Vice-Treasurer may know what sums of Money he is to receive, all Acquittances given by those appointed to collect and receive as aforesaid, are to be entered and signed by the several Officers of the Exchequer in the accustomed manner for Acquittances.  
You are also from time to time to take a perfect Account from such persons so to be employed, of all the particular Receipts & payments relating to the premises, which Accounts so taken are to be kept in a fair Book, and returned into Our Court of Exchequer, that so they may be ready to be produced for the Satisfaction of such as may be concerned therein.  
Before you admit any Deventure of any Officer who hath Arrears satisfied since June, One Thousand Six Hundred Forty Nine, You shall satisfy such whose Arrears You shall state, and such whose arrears are stated, and have not received Satisfaction for their Service before or since June, One Thousand Six Hundred Forty Nine, twelve Shillings and six Pence in every Pound of their said arrears, and then out of the remaining Security, as far as it will extend, you are to satisfy the remaining part of the arrears of such as hereby are to receive twelve Shillings and six pence in the pound, as also the arrears due before One Thousand Six Hundred Forty Nine, of such who have received satisfaction for their arrears due since One Thousand Six Hundred Forty Nine; and this to be done without any Priority or Distinction in an equal proportion; after that you have first made up the Deficiency of those who have been satisfied in part since One Thousand Six Hundred Forty Nine, but have not yet Lands set out to them to the full of that proportion which they were to have had at the time when the rest of the Lands were set out unto them and others as aforesaid: We having by Our said Declaration assigned the Forfeited Houses, Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, not already disposed of, within any Corporation in Ireland, or in the Counties of Wicklow, Longford, Leitrim and Donegal, and within a mile of the River Shannon, commonly called or known by the name of Mile-Line, for satisfaction of such Officers who served Our Royal Father, or Ourselves in Ireland, before the Fifth of June, One Thousand Six Hundred Forty Nine, as in Our Declaration is directed. In Order thereunto Our Court of Exchequer in Ireland is hereby authorized and required to put the premises out of Charge from the Three and Twentieth of October, last passed, without Fee or other Charge for the same.  
And towards the carrying on the work hereby appointed, and all the contingent Charges thereof, the moneys received by Major William Cadowgan, and others, for the Rents of the Counties of Wicklow, Leitrim, Longford and Donegal, and for the Lands in Connaught and Clare, commonly known or called by the name of Mile-Line, for several years last passed, shall be paid into the Hands of such persons as we shall, as aforesaid, appoint to receive the moneys payable by the Adventurers or Soldiers, and the accounts thereof forthwith delivered unto you: The which accounts you are hereby required to Audit and Examine.  
All the Rents and Profits of the Houses, Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments by Our said Declaration appointed for Satisfaction of the said Officers before the Fifth of June, One Thousand Six Hundred Forty Nine, until the same be sold, as is before directed, shall be paid into the Hands of such persons as we shall appoint as aforesaid, to collect and receive the same, for the Ends and Uses above mentioned, as also towards the Satisfaction of such persons as are to receive Satisfaction for their Improvements in building or repairing Houses, planting Orchards or Gardens: All which said moneys shall be paid by Warrant from You, or any five or more of you aforesaid, directed to Our said Vice-Treasurer, for the Ends and Uses aforesaid.  
Whereas several Lands have been set out for satisfaction of Money lent, or public Debts incurred for Provisions, Arms and Ammunition, furnished before the year One thousand Six hundred Forty four, the which Lands so set out We have by Our said Declaration reserved for that purpose; and to the end the persons to whom the said Lands are so set out may receive satisfaction for their said Moneys and Provisions, according to the Tenor of Our said Declaration, you are to compute the Money that aught to have been paid for the said Provision, Arms and Ammunition, together with the Interest for the same, unto the time the said Lands were set out, after the rate of 6. pounds per centum per annum: You shall inquire of the Value of the said Lands what improvements there are made since they were set out, what worth to be sold when set out at the rate of Ten years' purchase, and who now in possession, and under what Title.  
You shall assign so much of the said Lands so set out, as according to Ten years' purchase, the aforesaid Money for the said provision, etc. with the Interest thereof as aforesaid will amount unto, first deducting the Improvements made on the premises since they were set out as aforesaid.  
And whereas James Duke of Ormond, Lord Steward of Our Household, together with Sir Philip percival and Sir George Lane Knights, and also others at the instance and request of the said Duke of Ormond, became bound for certain Moneys lent, and public Debts incurred for Provision, Arms and Ammunition, and furnished and delivered in Provisions and other Necessaries, in Order to the carrying on of the War in that Our Kingdom, whereby they have made themselves, their Heirs, Executors and Administrators, liable to Suit, Hazard and Loss, if not provided for, and satisfaction set out for the same, which in all equity ought to be done, you are therefore required forthwith to set out Forfeited Lands in the Counties of Kildare and Dublin, or one of them, for satisfaction of the said Debts, Provisions, and other necessaries, according to the last foregoing Rules; and that in the mean time neither the said Duke of Ormond, nor any other bound for the said Debts at his instance and request, their Heirs, Executors, or Admistrators, be sued, molested, or troubled for, or concerning the same; And if any of the said Lands already set, or which shall be set out be restored to former Proprietors, you are forthwith to assign other Lands of equal Value, Worth and Purchase in lieu thereof: You are likewise after the same rate of Ten years' purchase to assign & set out some convenient Forfeited lands unto Major George Rayden, in satisfaction of Debentures for Arrears and Moneys paid by him for Provisions furnished as aforesaid, and for which no satisfaction as yet hath been assigned, as also to Doctor William Petty, for his deficient Debentures according to the direction of Our Letter of the Second of January, One thousand Six hundred and sixty.  
Whereas there is a Rent payable to Us out of every Acre of Land assigned, or to be assigned to any Adventurer, Soldier, or other person, as by Our Declaration appears in order to the ascertaining thereof, you are to observe these following directions, viz.  
Where there is no certain Record of the Lands assigned or set out to the Soldiers or other persons, so that the Rend payable to Us cannot be ascertained; in all such cases you are to cause Proclamation to be made, and Certificates to be returned of all such respective Possessions, Debentures and Debts for which the said Lands were set out to them in way and manner, as by Our aforesaid Instructions is directed, with respect unto the Method to be observed concerning the Lands assigned unto the Adventurers, wherein you are expressly to distinguish betwixt what Lands are set out for satisfaction of Arrears grown due in England, from what is set out for satisfaction of Arrears grown due in Ireland; you are out of the said Certificates and out of the Surveys and Books of Debentures, or Books of Distributions or Subdivisions of Lands to any Office or place in Ireland, forthwith to cause fair Books to be made up, of all the Houses, Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, set out to the Adventurers, Soldiers, and other persons whose Estates are confirmed by Our said Declaration, together with the Rents and Profits payable unto Us according to Our said Declaration by such Adventurers, Soldiers and others: And you are carefully and exactly to reduce the measure of such Lands as were set out by Plantation-measure, of Twenty one Foot to the Perch, and One hundred and Sixty Pearches to the Acre, to Sixteen Foot and an half to the Perch, and One hundred and Sixty Pearches to the Acre, and accordingly to ascertain the Rent payable to Us, the which you are likewise to do of all the Estates we are graciously pleased to restore unto any Papist, whose Estates were formerly disposed of, or remained undisposed of in Our Hands.  
Provided such Estates did not formerly pay unto Our Royal Father a greater Rent, in which case the said greater Rent is to be reserved and paid to Us for the Future; which Books so made up, you are to lodge as Our Court of Exchequer shall direct, with some Officer of Our Revenue, that the Rents may be given in Charge: And that no prejudice may be to Us, or uncertainty in Our Revenue, You are also to prepare Duplicates of the said Books to be kept in the Office of Our Chief Remembrancer and Treasurer's Remembrancer.  
And whereas in the Execution hereof it will be necessary to employ several persons, for the inquiry into, and preparing several matters hereby committed to your Trust, you are therefore hereby Authorized and Impowered from time to time to nominate and appoint such person or persons as you shall find necessary for Our Service herein, unto whom Our Chancellor for the time being for that Our Kingdom, is hereby required and authorized to grant One or more Commissions under Our Great Seal of that Our Kingdom for the purposes aforesaid.  
And whereas We have by Our said Declaration provided that Protestant Plantations shall be settled, Corporations created, Churches erected, Maintenance for Preaching Ministers provided, within the limits and precincts of the Lands to be settled on the Adventurers and Soldiers, the same being subject to many intricacies and of universal concernment to that Our Kingdom: We do therefore refer the whole consideration thereof unto Our Parliament for their Advice therein.  
And you are hereby strictly required to take special care, that the Decrees and the Estates in Lands set out in satisfaction of the same in the Province of Connaught and County of Clare, to any Transplanted or Transplantable person, and purchased from them, or any of them, by Charles Earl of Mountrath, John Lord Baron of Kingstown, Richard Lord Coot Baron of Coloony, Carey Dillon Esq Sir George Bingham Baronet, Sir Oliver St. George Knight and Baronet, Sir John Cole Baronet, Sir James Shaen Knight, Major Arthur Gore, Sir George St. George, Sir James Cuffe, John Eyre's Esquire, Henry Waddington Esq Captain Robert Parks, Captain Robert Morgan, and Captain Owen Lloyd, be confirmed unto them, and every of them, their Heirs and Assigns respectively; they paying one full years Value of the Profits of such Estates to Us, Our Heirs and Successors, in two years' space in such manner, and for such Uses as in Our late Declaration is offered to be contributed by the Adventurers and Soldiers and accepted by Us, and that they be not removed from any such Estates in Lands they have so purchased by virtue of such Decrees, until they be duly reprized out of other Forfeited Lands of equal Value, Worth and Purchase, in the said Province of Connaught or County of Clare, or elsewhere, as in Our said Declaration is directed for Adventurers and Soldiers.  
Provided that this shall not be construed to confirm the Decree of any person for so much thereof as was obtained by injustice, fraud, irregularity or oppression in the proceed; but especially of any person who had no Right nor Title by the Rules given for making those Decrees to the Estate; in compensation whereof such Decree was granted, if the same shall be made appear unto you before the Five and Twentieth day of March, One Thousand Six hundred Sixty and Three; And in such case it is Our pleasure that any of the aforesaid persons who hath purchased Lands upon any such insufficient Decree, shall or may place some other unsatisfied or reprizable Decree upon such Lands.  
Provided also, That this Clause shall not extend to confirm unto the said persons any Lands that are restorable by Our Declaration to the former Proprietors, Reprizals being given in lieu thereof, as in the Declaration is appointed.  
Provided also, That such Transplanted Persons who being within Rules of Reprisal have been removed from the Lands to which they have been transplanted without any Reprize therefore first given, be forthwith Reprized in the first place, and before all other Reprizable persons.  
And that the Lands set out unto Sir Thomas Herbert, and Benjamin Worsley Esq for their Salaries in Ireland, in relation to their Employments about the Satisfaction of the Soldiery in stating their Arrears, or surveying or setting out Lands, be confirmed unto them, and their Heirs and Assigns, severally and respectively.  
And if the said Lands, or any part thereof, shall be restored to the former Proprietors, That a Reprize be forthwith assigned and set out unto them, their Heirs and Assigns severally and respectively, in lieu thereof, in like manner as is provided for such Adventurers and Soldiers as shall be removed from off their present Estates.  
And whereas some Ambiguity or Doubt may arise under what Qualifications such persons may be comprehended, who submitted unto Our Articles of Peace, and inviolably observed the same, yet neither attended Us in Foreign Parts, nor sued out Decrees for Lands in Connaught or County of Clare: You are in order to their Settlement to proceed in the same way and method, as by Our Declaration is held forth for those that submitted to Our Articles, and inviolably observed the same, and attended Us in Foreign parts.  
And for the better quieting, settling and securing the several persons, and their Interests for whom provision is made in Our said Declaration and Instructions, and this present Act, the Lord Lieutenant, Lord Deputy, Lords justices, or their Chief Governor or Governors of that Our Kingdom for the time being, upon Certificate signed by you, or any Five, or more of you as aforesaid, expressing the Name or Names of such persons, the quality of their Estates, the number of Acres, the Barony, County, and Province in which such Estates are, and the ●ents reservable; as also the Tenure and Services, are hereby authorized and required upon request by the person or persons so concerned, to cause effectual Letters Patents under the Great Seal of that Our Kingdom, to be passed in the usual manner, of such Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments to the persons aforesaid, by advice of Our Learned Council in the Law, for that Our Kingdom, or some of them, as the case shall require, without expecting any further Letters, or Warrants from Ourselves, and for so doing these Our Directions shall be to them, and every of them their sufficient Warrant and Discharge.  
And whereas we, not apprehending that we should arrive at a Settlement of Our Kingdom of Ireland, so soon and with so general Satisfaction to all Interests, as we have done, did upon the petitions of several persons asserting their Innocence, grant Our Letters for the repossessing such Petitioners of their former Estates, or any part thereof, which Letters may possibly not answer to Our said Declaration and Instructions, which now We look upon as the positive and fundamental Rule for the Settlement of that Our Kingdom, the Chief Governor and Governors of that Our Kingdom for the time being, and Our Privy Council there, are therefore in executing the contents of such Our Letters to observe the same as they shall fall under Our several Rules in Our said Declaration, and agreeable to the same, and as in these Our Instructions are more particularly expressed, and not otherwise.  
For your pains and labour herein, and for the pains and labour of such Sub-Commissioners as you shall employ as aforesaid, We do hereby authorise you to ask, demand and receive from every Adventurer, Soldier, or other persons, his or their Heirs or Assigns, now in possession, or to be put in possession of any Houses, Lands, Tenements or Hereditaments, one penny for every Acre of land, as admeasured, assigned, or set out to him or them, for ascertaining their respective possessions; and likewise for every one to be reprized an Estate worth Twenty Pounds per annum, the sum of Ten Shillings, and after the same Rate, for greater or smaller Reprizes, and for every Certificate for Lands to be possessed, the sum of Ten Shillings, and one penny in the pound for every Debenture that shall be satisfied by you, and for the Clerks and Officers to be employed by you, and the contingent Charges relating thereunto, that the same be paid out of the moneys that shall be received of the Rents due and payable out of the Securities appointed for the Officers before One Thousand Six Hundred Forty and Nine.  
In the ascertaining, stating and settling of any sum or sums of Money, Debentures, Certificates, or Decrees for Arrears, Adventures, public Debts, Reprizes, or other allowed Interests pursuant unto Our said Declaration: You are to strike off and deduct all Fractions of odd Pounds, Shillings, and Pence, and likewise in the ascertaining and setting out of the respective Proportions of Lands, which shall be settled or granted in satisfaction of any of the aforesaid Interests: You are to strike off and deduct all Fractions of odd Acres, Roods, and Pearches, taking care that there be not above the one hundred part of any such sum or sums of Money or proportions of Lands, respectively deducted from any one person without his own consent, and that you do keep an exact and particular account of all the said Deductions in Money or Lands, and cause the same to be satisfied as entirely as may be in such convenient proportions, and in such places as the chief Governor or Governors of Our said Kingdom for the time being shall appoint, which proportions are to be reserved to be disposed of unto such use or uses as We, Our Heirs, or Successors shall appoint.  
The aforesaid Adventurers and Soldiers being satisfied, and the Reprizes made, and the several business finished, as before is directed, you are to deliver up your Books not before in these Instructions otherwise disposed of, unto Our Auditor General of that Our Kingdom of Ireland, and Duplicates of the same to Our Surveyor General, in their Offices to remain as of Record.  
In the management of which said Trust, you are from time to time, as the case shall require, to give an account to Our Chief Governor or Governors for the time being, and Our Council in Ireland, of your Proceed, and to observe and follow such further directions as you shall from time to time receive from Us, or from them pursuant to this Act.  
And for the more due and impartial execution of Our said Declaration and these Instructions, it is Our will and pleasure, That no Commissioner or other person employed, acting in this Service shall till the Work be finished purchase by themselves or others in their behalf, or to their Use, or in Trust for them or any of them, any of the Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, that are to be settled, confirmed, reprized, or restored by virtue of Our said Declaration, but shall before they enter upon this Trust respectively give in Lists under their Hands of such Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, as they are Entitled to, or possessed of, to the Lord Lieutenant, or other Chief Governor or Governors, and Council for the time being, who are to take care for the observing this instruction.  
And you are hereby further required, to Reprize John Lord Viscount Massareene and his Heirs, with an Estate of like yearly Rent in the Province of Leinster, to that of which he stands seized in the Barony of Dunluce, in the County of Antrim, and to cause Our Letters dated the Eighteenth day of December, One thousand six hundred and Sixty, and the Fourteenth of August, One thousand Six hundred Sixty and one, to be put into speedy execution for the full satisfaction of the said Lord Massareene to all intents and purposes; which being done, you are then to cause the said Estate whereof the said Lord Massareene is seized in the Barony aforesaid, to be delivered to Daniel O Neil Groom of Our Bedchamber, in satisfaction for an Encumbrance of a much greater value wherewith the Barony of Dunluce set out to the Adventurers stands charged for the behoof of the said Daniel O Neil.  
And for the better satisfaction of the Lord Massareene, for the Estate of Henry O Neil of Killelaugh in the County of Antrim Esq which he is also to part from: You are likewise out of the Forfeited Lands in the County of Dublin to Reprize the said Lord Massareene and his Heirs, with an Estate of equal value, worth and purchase, to that which the said Lord Massareene stands now seized of, and which did formerly belong to the said Henry O Neil, to hold to him the said Lord Massareene and His Heirs; which being done, you are then to deliver to the said Henry O Neil the Estate formerly belonging to him, whereof the said Lord Massareene is seized as aforesaid as an Adventurer.  
Nevertheless the said several Adventurers shall be subject to such Deductions as other lands, according to the Rules of His Majesty's Declaration and Instructions and this present Act, reserving always liberty and licence to the said Lord Massareene, to place and be satisfied on the said deductions such sum of Money as the deductions before mentioned shall amount unto, out of what shall be due to him for deficiencies, Encumbrances or Arrears, before the year One thousand Six hundred Forty and Nine, the Arrears to be in such case and manner and at such Rates as are allowed to others before the said year, One thousand Six hundred Forty and nine, and the deducted Lands upon which such Deficiencies, Encumbrances or Arrears shall be so placed, shall be enjoyed by the said Lord Massareene and His Heirs, as if they had been given out for an Original Adventure.  
And the said Lord Massareene shall enjoy the several lands wherein he shall be so as aforesaid reprized to him & his Heirs, subject to the like Rents, Services, Payments and Tenors as other Adventurers for lands within the Province where the reprize shall be given, are subject unto, and with the like benefit of new Reprisal in case of Restitution, Removal or Encumbrance, as other Adventurers are to have, by this present Act.  
And in case the Manor, Castle, Town and Lands of S. Wolstownes, alias Allens Court, in the County of Kildare, or any other the Castles, Manors, Towns, Lands, Advowsons', Tenements and Hereditaments in the County of Kildare, and County of Dublin, or either of them, formerly the Inheritance of Sir Thomas Allen Knight deceased, or now belonging to the Lady Allen his Wife, for term of life or years yet to come, and the Remainder or Remainders thereof, unto Robert Allen, John Allen, William Allen, and James Allen, some or one of them shall upon inquiry be found to be forfeited, You are hereby required to cause the same to be delivered unto Our Right Trusty and Right well Beloved Cousin and Counsellor Hugh Earl of Mount-Alexander, To Have and to Hold, to him the said Hugh Earl of Mount-Alexander, his Heirs and Assigns for ever; subject nevertheless to the payment of the like Rents and Services as the Adventurers for Lands in the Province of Leinster are subject unto, and with the like benefit of Reprisal in case of restitution, as any Adventurers, their Heirs and Assigns, have or aught to have, and also with benefit of Reprisal in case any Adventurer be Entitled to the same or any part thereof.  
Provided always, That whensoever We shall declare under Our Great Seal of England or Ireland Our Will and Pleasure to revoke the Estate hereby granted, in all or any part of the premises, that then and immediately from and after such Declaration the Estate so revoked, shall cease and determine, and remain subject unto the Rules and Ends of this Declaration, as if this grant had not been made.  
And whereas Sir Charles Lloyd Baronet, became an Adventurer for Lands in Ireland, upon the Acts passed in the Reign of Our Royal Father, and afterwards according to the Rules and Method used in the late times of Usurpation, had a Lot for Nine hundred pounds' parcel of the said Adventure fallen within the Barony of Slewmargy in the Queen's County, and for One thousand pounds' residue of the said Adventure, had an other Lot fallen unto him in the Barony of Conello in the County of Lymerick, and Certificates delivered unto him accordingly:  
Notwithstanding all which Proceed, no Possession hath ever been yet delivered unto the said Sir Charles Lloyd, but the same hath been detained from him by others who have left their own Lots to enter upon his, Our Will and Pleasure therefore is, That you cause speedy Right to be done to the said Sir Charles Lloyd, and possession to be delivered to him according to the Rules formerly used, to have and to hold to him the said Sir Charles Lloyd and his Heirs under the like Rents and Tenors, and with the like benefit of Reprizals as other Adventurers ought to have.  
PRovided also, and Be it further Enacted by the Authority aforesaid, That all & singular the Forfeited Lands, Tenements & Hereditaments of, or within the Half Barony of Irris in the County of Mayo wherein the Harbour of Broad Haven is situated, together with all the Mines and Mineral therein, and all Fishings on the Seacoasts of the same; as also on the Loughs and Fresh Rivers thereunto in any wise belonging or appertaining, be, and they are hereby vested, settled and continued in Your Majesty, Your Heirs and Successors, to be disposed of to such Use or Uses as Your Majesty shall think fit: Any thing in this Act contained to the contrary in any wise notwithstanding.  
And You are hereby required not proceed upon the Return of any Commission of Inquiries after the value of Estates to be restored or reprized, issued out before the first of March, One Thousand Six Hundred Sixty and One, until the Lord Lieutenant or other chief Governor or Governors of Our Kingdom of Ireland for the time being, shall have issued out new Commissions of Inquiry, which We do hereby authorise him or them to do: And that such Commissions shall be likewise returned, and after the Return of such new Commissions, You are then to proceed either upon the former or later Returns, as You in Your Discretions shall judge to be most expedient.
