CHARLES PORTER,  
THO: CONINGESBY.    
WHereas the Commissioners of Their Majesties Revenue have represented unto us, That pursuant to the Power to them given, they have Set several of the forfeited Lands in this Kingdom for one year, determining the first of November next, That the time for breaking up the Fallow to sow Winter Corn for the year ensuing is in March and April, and that without some assurance to the said tenants of a longer Continuance or Satisfaction for the Fallow they shall make, if they are forced to leave the Lands at the Expiration of their said Leases, the said tenants will not break up their Fallow, and the Arable Lands thereby for the next year will become waste. We taking the same into Our Consideration, and finding it absolutely necessary for the good of the Kingdom in general, that the said Tenants should be encouraged to break up Fallow for Sowing Winter Corn for the next year, Do hereby require all such Tenants, as have or shall take any Leases from the said Commissioners of any of the Forfeited Lands aforesaid, to break up so much of the Arable Lands they hold as aforesaid as conveniently they can: And We do hereby assure them, that they shall either be continued tenants to the said Lands, or else shall be allowed out of their Rents reasonable Satisfaction for every Acre they shall Plow and Sow, according to the Custom of the Country. And forasmuch as it will be for Their Majesties Service, and benefit of the Inhabitants throughout the Kingdom that the Meadows, or Grounds fit to be preserved for Meadows, be every where in due time laid up and well preserved. We do hereby therefore require all and every Their Majesties tenants aforesaid, and do hereby desire and encourage all other Persons having Meadows or Grounds fit to be preserved for Meadows, that they do lay up as much Meadow or other Ground fit to be laid up for Meadow, as aforesaid, as possibly they can, Fencing it in well, and preserving it as carefully as they are able. And We do hereby strictly Charge and Command all Officers, Soldiers and others, that they do not either by themselves or their Horses or Cattle, any ways break any of the said Fences, or eat the Grass on the Lands which shall be so laid up for Meadow as aforesaid, nor do any thing to any of the said tenants or their under tenants on any of the said Lands, whereby to disable or hinder them from breaking up Fallow and laying up Meadow as aforesaid, as they will answer the contrary at their utmost Peril.  
Given at Their Majesties Castle of Dublin, the 27th day of February, and in the third year of Their Majesties Reign. 
 God Save the KING and Queen.
