❧ By the King.  
WHereas to moderate and qualify the Fines, forfeitures and losses, which we in our wisdom did foresee might prove heavy unto very many of our subjects, that had made Alienations of their lands holden in Chief without Licence, by private Conveyances without Record: We did of our Gracious inclination and Royal regard of the quiet, ease, and benefit of all such of our said Subjects (whose Lands or estates were by such Alienations without Licence, made subject to answer unto us any Arrearages, Issues or mean profits) by our Proclamation bearing date the first day of October last passed before the date hereof, publish, propound, and offer certain favours, remedies and means of reasonable and easy Compositions for such Alienations, So as they did come in and take the benefit of our said Princely offers, and favours, before the end of Hillary Term then next ensuing the date of our said Proclamation, although such persons making those secret Conveyances, of purpose to defraud us of our due, deserved no favour: Forasmuch as we do understand that divers of our subjects whom it concerneth, having since the publishing of our said Proclamation advised and considered with their learned Counsel aswell of the losses, forfeitures and damages, which they have incurred by reason of such Alienations, as also of the great favour and benefit offered unto them by our said Proclamation, have and daily do humbly compound with our Officers of our said Alienations, thereby very thankfully and dutifully accepting of our grace and favour in that behalf:  
And being further given to understand, that the knowledge of our said Proclamation did so lately come into divers parts of our Realm, and to the understanding of many our Subjects, as they could not (through the shortness of the time prescribed by our said Proclamation) consider and resolve of their several Cases; We have therefore thought good, according to our Princely and gracious disposition and purpose in this behalf, not to bind, or confine our favours to such straightness of time, as that our loving Subjects should not be able therein to make use of the same. And therefore considering the weightiness of the cause, and well allowing that our subjects should have convenient time to take counsel and advise for the performance of their said Composition; And to the end that they may have no just excuse, if they shallbe put to answer us our due, according to the Law, when they shall have wilfully refused our favour: We do by this our Proclamation, publish, signify and declare, That all such of our Subjects as shall before the Feast of All Saints next ensuing, offer Composition to our said Officers of the said Alienations, according to the Articles contained in our said former Proclamation, shallbe admitted to make their Compositions accordingly, and shall have and enjoy all such benefit, profit and favour, as they might or should have had, if they had compounded within the time limited by our said former Proclamation, Any thing in our said former Proclamation contained to the contrary notwithstanding.  
Provided that such as shall not take benefit of this extent of our favour, are not to expect afterward any further enlargement of time, nor other dispensation whatsoever in that behalf.  
Given at our Court at Royston the xviij. day of February, in the sixth year of our Reign of Great Britain, France and Ireland.  
God save the King.
