Die Lunae 6 Septemb. 1647. An Ordinance of the Lords and Commons Assembled in Parliament , That from henceforth no Moneys clipt , filed , or deminished , shall be payable , or received in payment within this Kingdom .

FOr as much as during these distractions great sums of Moneys clipped and unlawfully diminished , have beene dispersed and given out amongst the people thorowout the Kingdome ; for the speedy suppression thereof and prevention of the like in the future , Be it Ordained by the Lords and Commons in Parliament assembled , That from henceforth no Money diminished by clipping or filing shall be currant or payable in this Kingdome , or be offered in payment , or received as due payment by any person whatsoever , but be esteemed as Bullion , and no otherwise . And to the end that such Moneys as are by this present Ordinance declared to be uncurrant , may not for the present become unusefull unto such as live in remote parts of the Kingdome , and cannot sell them but at under rates ; Be it Ordained , That for three Moneths after the date hereof , the said clipt Money shall be allowed of in payment , at foure shillings ten pence per ounce for Goldsmiths weight , which is troy weight , or foure shillings foure pence half penny the ounce avordupoyz , which is the common weight . And all persons may hereby take notice , that such clipped money will yeeld in London foure shillings and eleven pence per ounce for Goldsmiths weight , and foure shilings five pence halfpenny per ounce for avordupoyz waight at the least . Provided neverthelesse that it is not hereby intended that any old Moneys , which are apparent not to be clipt , or otherwise unlawfully diminished , but onely growne light through waring and wasting , by long passing from hand to hand , shall be included within this Order , but shall still be currant without dispute as formerly .
