JAMES R.  
WHEREAS We think it expedient for the encouragement of all the Officers and Souldiers of our Army, that they be paid for the future, according to the old Establishment; Our Will and Pleasure is, that you alter the present Establishment from what it is now, to what it has been formerly for Our standing Forces in this Our Kingdom; so as that all Officers and Souldiers of Our Army shall be hereafter paid upon that foot, as from the first day of September next: And as for all Arrears heretofore due according to the New Establishment, We intend the same shall be paid with all possible speed. And if any part thereof shall happen to be unpaid, Our Royal intent is, that the same, and also all other Arrears that shall hereafter happen to be unpaid to any Souldiers or Officers according to the Old Establishment of Pay hereby intended them, shall be satisfied by a distribution of such Lands as shall remain in Our Hands by Forfeiture, or by a Land-Tax, or other effectual means, without any deduction or defalcation whatsoever.  
Given at Our Castle of Dublin the 23d day of August, in the Fifth Year of Our Reign. By His Majesties Command, RI. NAGLE.
