This is to certify to all those whom it may Concern,  
THat whereas by divers Traders there are many Bibles dispersed abroad by sundry Chapmen into all parts, which Books many of them be false Printed, and very many deceitfully bound beyond the seas in sheep's leather, and some gilded with Party-gold, whereby the buyers being ignorant are much deceived, and not only so cozened of their money, but the books are also forfeited and they liable to the Law; this is to give notice,  
That by provision of a Statute in Vicesimo Quinto Henrici Octavi, it was Enacted, That no person or persons Resciant or Inhabitant within this Realm, shall buy to sell again any Printed books brought from any parts out of the King's Obeisance, ready Bound in boards, Leather, or Parchment, upon pain to lose and forfeit for every such book Bound out of the said King's obeisance, and brought into this Realm, and bought by any person or persons within the same, to sell again, contrary to this Act, six shillings and eight pence.
