❧ Die Jovis 9ᵒ Septembr. 1641.  
WHereas it doth appear to this House by certain Informations received from divers parts of this Kingdom, that the Pole-money doth generally come to a far less sum, then by the true intent of the Act it both might and aught to do (which as we are credibly informed) is caused by the undue and partial Certificates and assessments brought into the Commissioners by the Messors, and also by the great neglect of the Commissioners, who have not reformed such Certificates and returns, as by the Law they are required; But have in many places favoured and eased themselves, their friends, tenants, and neighbours unjustly, whereby the true meaning of the Law hath been much frustrate, to the great prejudice of the Kingdom, and neglect of the good intentions of this House; Therefore, upon serious consideration, both of giving just satisfaction (by the equality of proceeding in this service) to such as have paid their several sums due by the Act, as also for the supplying of the emergent necessities of the Common wealth;  
It is this day Ordered by this House, that the Commissioners in their several Counties respectively, Authorized for this service, shall without delay appoint some convenient times and places in their several divisions for their meeting, when and where, with the assistance of such able and discreet persons as they shall think fit to call before them, They shall take a strict and impartial review of the several Certificates, and particular rates 〈…〉 〈◊〉 d, or allowed; And ●hall carefully endeavour fully to inform themselves of every person either omitted, or not rated, as by the Act he, she, or they ought to be, To the end that every one may be rated according to their several Degrees, and Estates, And also that the several sums formerly Assessed may be levied upon every one of the defaulters according to the Act: And that the said Commissioners do cause all and every such sum or sums of Money, as shall be upon this review taxed, to be collected, and levied either by the former Collectors by them appointed, or, if just cause shall be, by such others newly to be nominated as they shall conceive to be well affected to the indifferent and equal proceeding of this so important a service.  
And it is further required, that the Commissioners aforesaid shall with all convenient expedition return all such sums of Money as shall be by them received, unto such persons as are authorized to receive it by the Act of Parliament and Orders of this House.  
And they shall also return exact and particular Certificates of their proceedings unto the Committee appointed by this House to receive them. And if any Commissioner or Commissioners shall be found to have neglected the execution of this Order, he, and they must expect to be called to answer his and their disobedience or neglect thereof to this House. And for the better advantage of this weighty service,  
It is further Ordered, that all such several Members of this House, as are Commissioners by this Act, shall upon the next Adjournment or recess, join themselves in assistance with the Commissioners in their several Counties, who may thereby be the better resolved of all such doubts as shall, or may arise, And also may be quickened in that service by having the sense of this House more clearly imparted to them concerning the urgent and pressing necessity that this levy should be made according to the true intent of the Act, which service is much conducing to the peace, safety, and benefit of this Kingdom, and to the honour of this House.  

Resolved upon the Question;  
That this Order shall be forthwith Printed and Published.
