The CLAVSES chiefly objected against in the Act 14ᵒ of Charles II. about Printing , are These ,

I. THAT which subjects the Houses of Peers to be searched for Unlicensed Books , by Warrant from a Secretary of State , upon the bare Suspicion and Suggestion of a Messenger of the Press , without Oath .

II. ( This other Clause ) And be it farther Enacted , by the Authority aforesaid , That no Person or Persons shall within this Kingdom , or elsewhere , Imprint or cause to be Imprinted , &c. any Copy or Copies , Book or Books , or part of any Book or Books , or Forms of blank Bills or Indentures , for any of his Majesteis Islands , Printed beyond the Seas or elsewhere , which any Person or Persons , by Vertue of any Letters Patents Granted or Assigned to him or them , or which shall hereafter be Granted or Assignd to him or them , Or , ( where the same are not Granted by any Letters Patents ) by Force or Vertue of any Entry or Entries thereof duly made or to be made , in the Register-book of the said Company of Stationers , &c. have or shall have the right Priviledge , Authority or Allowance solely to Print , &c. upon the Penalty of Forfeiture , and also 6 s. 8d . for every Book or Part , &c. and punishment of the Party as an Offender against the Act. Whereby ,

1. If any Man hath a Property in any Copy , which falls within a Patent Granted ( or to be Granted ) he is subject to the Penalties though his Book be Licensed .

2. If any Entry be made in the Register-book ( in such Form as they count [ Duly ] no Man shall Print his own Copy , after it hath been Stoln from him and Entered as anothers ; which has often happened in Fact : Whereby the right Owner is deprived of Remedy or Reparation by any other Law .

3. There being no sufficient Provision , for destroying the Forfeitures , it hath been an occasion , for the Company , to seize Foreign Books , and sell them again ( to the prejudice of the English Printers and Booksellers , and Destruction of the English Manufacture ) and to re-seize them , toties quoties , in the Hands of those Persons , who have bought them of the Company or their Agents , which appears to have been their frequent Practice .
