And His Maiesty doth further charge & command all and singular Mayors , Sheriffes , Iustices of Peace , Constables , Headboroughs , and all other His Maiesties Officers , Ministers , and louing Subiects , that if any of the sayd Souldiers , or any other , vnder the name or pretence of hauing been a Souldier , shall at any time hereafter bee taken without a Passe , or hauing a Passe shal be taken begging , or wandering contrary to the Law , or in any sort misbehauing , or misdemeaning himselfe , that then , and in euery such case vpon notice thereof giuen or taken in that behalfe , they shall bee corrected and punished according to the Law , and according to the nature or qualitie of the offence ; Whereof , euery one whom it doeth or may concerne , in his seuerall place , is hereby to take notice , and duely to obserue and performe His Maiesties Royall pleasure and command , in all and euery the premisses , at his perill .

Giuen at Our Palace of White-Hall , this fifteenth day of Nouember , in the fourth yeere of Our Reigne of Great Britaine , France , and Ireland . God saue the King .
