Neverthelesse , for such as do so hold of His Majestie , or of His said Wards , who upon just occasions shall seek to be spared and dispensed with , for their attendance and service in this expedition , His Majesty is graciously pleased , and hath authorized the Lord Treasurer , Chancellor , and Barons of His Exchequer for the time being , or any two or more of them ( whereof the Lord Treasurer , or Chancellour to be one ) upon Fines to His Majesties use , to admit to Composition , and Compound with such of those Tenants , as they shall think fit to be spared and dispenced with for this present Service , whom His Majestie doth hereby declare shall be freed and exempted accordingly : So as they shall make their said Compositions before the said twentieth day of September next , whereby His Majestie may be provided of other meet persons in their turn to perform the said Services .

Given at the Court at Whitehall the twentieth day of August , in the sixteenth year of His Majesties Reign . God save the King .
