And that no colonel, Lieutenant-Collonel, mayor, or other Commissioned Officer do presume to depart from such his Quarters, or Garrison without Order from us, or the Duke of Tyrconnel Our General of Our Army, or without a licence in writing from the Governor or other Officer in chief commanding there: Which licence shall mention the reasons for which it is granted, and the time for which he is permitted to be absent; and that all such Officers as by virtue of such Licenses shall be absent from their Quarters or Garrisons, are hereby required to show the same to the Governor, or other Commanders in chief of every Town or Garrison that they intend to remain or reside in. And We do hereby declare, That all Officers whatsoever that shall be found to transgress against these Our Commands, shall suffer imprisonment during Our pleasure, and forfeit a months pay, to be disposed of for the use of Our Hospitals.
