they do not conform, but still continue peremptory, to the great prejudice of
the State,—the receipt of the moneys arising therefrom being charged for supply
of the great necessities of the Kingdom,—we hereby revoke all orders of suspension on behalf of the persons whose names are enclosed, and require you to
re-sequester their estates, and signify your proceedings thereon. [¾ page.] |
