BY THE KING:  
JAMES R.  
WHEREAS great disorders have been committed under colour of seizing several Horses for Our uses, many people, as We are informed, having lost their Plow-Garrans, and other small Horses, by means whereof divers are discouraged from ploughing, or Tilling the Ground, or carrying their Corn or other Goods to Market, to Our Camp, or other public places. And whereas We are informed, that Pressing of Men to be inlisted in Our Army, hath hindered several from saving their Harvest, or applying themselves to ploughing, the neglect whereof may be of evil consequence, if not soon remedied: For prevention whereof, We have thought fit to Charge and Command, and We do hereby strictly Charge and Command all Officers and Souldiers of Our Army, and all others, that they or any of them upon pain of Death, do not presume to Seize upon, or Press any Horse or Horses belonging to any person or persons whatsoever, who are not in Arms against us, without special Orders from us, or from the Captain General of Our Army, or from one of Our Secretaries: Which Orders will not be granted but upon extraordinary occasion. And We do also hereby forbid the Pressing of any Men to be inlisted in any Company or Regiment of Our standing Forces; being well assured; that such of Our Subjects as We shall have occasion for, will freely offer themselves to serve in Our Army.  
Given at Our Camp near the Bridge of Affayne the 24th day of September 1689. And in the Fifth Year of Our Reign. By His Majesties Command, RI: NAGLE.  
GOD SAVE THE KING.
