Provided that this Proclamation shall not be taken , nor is intended to suspend the prosecution on any other parts of the said Act , other then concerning the breadth of the Tyre of Wheels only , neither shall continue longer , then until the Parliament upon consideration thereof shall take further Order .

Given at Our Court at Whitehal the 14th day of October , 1662. in the Fourteenth year of Our Reign . God save the King .
