the said Acts and Ordinances, and to all Articles,
Clauses, and Provisions, therein contained; and have
fully agreed and assented to the said Acts; willing,
that the said Acts, and every Article, Clause, Sentence, and Provision, therein contained, from henceforth shall be of the same Strength, Force, and Effect,
as if We had been personally present in the said

Presence of you all, assented to the same. And We
do by these Presents declare and notify the same Our
Royal Assent, as well to you the Lords Spiritual and
Temporal, and the Commons aforesaid, as to all
others whom it may concern; commanding also by
these Presents, as well Our Lord Keeper of Our Great

General of all Our Armies, Robert Earl of Lyndsey
Lord Great Chamberlain of England, and Edward
Earl of Manchester Lord Chamberlain of Our Household, or any Two or more of them, to declare and
notify this Our Royal Assent, in Our Absence, in the
said Higher House, in the Presence of you the said
Lords and the Commons of Our Parliament there to
be assembled for that Purpose; and the Clerk of the
Parliaments to indorse the said Acts with such Terms
and Words, in Our Name, as is requisite, and hath
been accustomed for the same; and also to enrol these
Our Letters Patents and the said Acts in the Parliament Roll; and these Our Letters Patents shall be to
every of them sufficient Warrant in that Behalf.
And finally We declare and will, That after this Our
Royal Assent given and passed by these Presents, and
declared and notified as aforesaid, that then and immediately the said Acts shall be taken, accepted, and
admitted, good, sufficient, and perfect Acts of Parliament and Laws, to all Intents, Constructions, and
Purposes, and to be put in due Execution accordingly;
the Continuance or Dissolution of this Our Parliament,
or any other Use, Custom, Thing, or Things, to the
contrary thereof, notwithstanding. In Witness whereof,
We have caused these Our Letters to be made Patents.
"Witness Ourself, at Westminster, the Nineteenth
Day of December, in the Nineteenth Year of
Our Reign.
