And to the end that all Persons may take Notice thereof , We do hereby Admonish and Require all Our Subjects , that they forbear to resort to the said Fair at Exeter , or any other Fairs within Twenty Miles of the said City , until We shall Declare Our further Pleasure concerning the same ; Hereby also strictly Enjoyning and Commanding the respective Lords , Owners and Proprietors of all and every the said Fairs , and all other Persons interessed therein , that they do not presume to hold the said Fairs , or any of them , without Our Licence first obtained in that behalf ; upon pain of such Punishment as can or may by Law be inflicted upon such as shall be found Offenders therein .

Given at Our Court at Whitehall the 16th day of November , 1688. In the Fourth Year of Our Reign . God save the King.
