BY THE COMMISSIONERS At LEITH.  
FOrasmuch as by the blessing of the LORD upon the late proceed of the English Nation in their counsels, enterprises and engagements with Scotland, the Commonwealth of England hath obtained lawful Right and Title to all Dues, Debts, Rents, Royalties and Revenues, what or wheresoever belonging to the late King of Scotland, of which, a just and true account is expected from all and every person or persons concerned in the premises.  
These are therefore to require, That within the space of _____ days after publication hereof, in the County of _____ all Fue-Duties, Rents, Profits and Casualties within the County aforesaid, (being such as aforesaid, and immediately payable to the Exchequer, and which have been usually so paid by the Tenants, Fuars, or Subtennants, from whom the same are due) be for time to come, brought in, and tendered to the Commissioners in Leith.  
And forasmuch as the Petty-Imposts of the respective Counties and Towns of this Nation, have been Farmed out to divers Persons; These are therefore to require all such Persons, Collectors, or Farmorers of the aforesaid Peny-Imposts, with all convenient speed, to bring in what is presently remaining in their hands; And such of them as are willing to hold the same, as formerly, shall (for the space of a year ensuing) be continued in the said Charge, and have power given them to Collect what shall be judged to be justly in Arrear.  
And if any person (after such publication as aforesaid) shall presume to fail hereof, or be found to deal deceitfully herein, by denying or concealing any part of that Rent or Duty paiable as aforesaid, he shall thereby forfeit so much as he hath, holds and claims, by the payment of such Rents and Duties. And that the aforesaid Tenants and Fuars (upon payment of their respective Rents and Duties) may receive a full Discharge from the Commissioners aforesaid, they are required to produce such Acquittances or Discharges, (as they last and formerly received from the Exchequer) whereof they may not fail.  
And upon the aforesaid Penalty, all Tenants, Fuars, and Subtennants, who are not bound (as aforesaid) to bring in their Rents and Duties to the Exchequer, but to make payment thereof to Collectors, Chamberlains, or other Officers within the said County, are required by these presents, to make payment of their said Rents and Duties (either present, or in arrear) to Master _____ and Master _____ being by Us appointed and authorized to Collect the same: discharging all Chamberlains, and other Officers for the late King, from dealing or intermeddling therewithal, as heretofore.  
Furthermore, We require and charge all other persons, of the aforesaid County, indebted to the late King, upon any Account whatsoever, to make payment thereof to the aforesaid Parties, within such reasonable time as they shall see cause to set.  
Lastly, all Chamberlains, Collectors, and other Officers, being of, or for the said County, and concerned in the premises, as accountable and indebted for what they have received and uplifted (or for any part thereof remaining in their hands) are hereby charged and required to account and make payment thereof to the Parties ; which is accordingly to be performed upon pain of forfeiting the double value.  
Given under our hands this first of March 1651.
