WHereas the Kings most Excellent Maiestie out of His Princely care of the generall quiet , prosperity , and good of all His louing Subiects of all and euery His Realmes and Dominions , hath an equall respect and fauour to those His Subiects of Ireland , as to those of England , and vpon all iust occasions , is , and will be ready and willing to expresse the same , and His Maiestie conceiuing , that there is no stronger motiue to inuite His Subiects of that Realme to submit themselues willingly to the Lawes , to entertaine peace , and conforme themselues to ciuility , industry , and good order , nor better meanes to make them opulent , rich , and happy , then by the generall setling and securing of their estates and possessions which is their liuelyhood : And His Maiesty finding that many petitioners resort from thence hither into England , for securing of their estates by new particuler Patents , and that there are dayly suitors heere to His Maiestie for grants of Lands in that Realme , vpon pretence of Concealments , Intrusions , or defectiue Titles , for obtaining of which grants , the Suitors offer large considerations by way of Fine , and increase of Rent , and other Seruices to the Crowne , to his Maiesties great aduantage , and some of these persons haue of late obtained Letters vnder the Priuie Signet , to passe part of the premisses by Letters Patents vnder the great Seale of that Realme of Ireland in Fee . His Maiestie of His infinite grace and goodnesse , foreseeing how full of danger and trouble it might bee to His good Subiects of that Realme , to giue way to such priuate Suits , although some profit should accrew thereout vnto His Crowne ; And preferring in this point the generall quiet of His people before His owne benefit , hath been graciously pleased , not onely to make stay of passing the premisses , and all other Lands within that Realme , and of all Suits of that nature , but also out of His tender care and respect of His said Subiects , and of their peace and prosperity , for their exceeding benefit , and yet with some expectation of profit for the increase of His owne Reuenue within that Realme , whereby Hee might the better support His ordinary charge there , and ease His people thereof , Hath thought meete in his Princely wisedome , to settle and secure for euer hereafter their seuerall pretended Estates and possessions , by a Commission of grace vnder the great Seale of England , in very ample and beneficiall manner , and in such manner as by the like Commission of grace heere in England , for setling the possessions of His Subiects of this his Realme of England , as a marke of His equall fauour towards his Subiects of that Kingdome , as of this .

His Maiesties gracious pleasure therefore is , and so hee doeth by this His Royall Proclamation declare the same , That if any of his Subiects of His sayd Realme of Ireland , doe , or shall conceiue , or feare their Estates or possessions to bee subiect to his Maiesties iust aduantage in Law or equity , They , before the first day of September next ensuing , are either in person , or by their Attourneys , or Agents sufficiently authorised and instructed by them , to make their repaire into this Realme of England , where they shall finde his Maiesties Commissioners ready to entertaine their seuerall Suites , and to whom if they shall resort , they may according to their seuerall Cases , settle and secure such their Estates and possessions as shall be defectiue or doubtfull , according to such instructions as his Maiestie shall giue to His Commissioners to that purpose , and vpon such reasonable and gracious conditions , as the said Commissioners in their good discretions shal thinke fit , ( without preiudicing any such future Plantations as shall be found iust and honourable for his Maiestie to proceede in ) and for the safety and benefit of the Countrey , and shall stand with the quality of the seuerall Cases of such as shall become suitors , wherein they shall be receiued to make their finall peace and settlement of their Estates and possessions , either for a reasonable Composition in money , or new increase of Rent , and other Seruices , or for both , as shal be thought fittest , and be agreed vpon ; and withal what shal be past vpon this Commission , his Maiestie doeth hereby declare , that Hee will bee pleased to giue His Royall assent , aswell to confirme the same at the next Parliament to bee holden for that Kingdome ; As also that the Statute of Vicesimo primo Iacobi Regis , made heere in England , for limiting His Highnesse Title to sixty yeeres , shall bee then enacted there , but the same to extend onely for the benefit of the Patentees that shall passe vpon the sayd Commission , and that all speede shall bee made for the dispatching of all the premisses vpon the sayd Commission , if they His sayd Subiects of Ireland shall bee forward on their parts therein , to the end that the Parliament there may the sooner begin .

But his Maiestie doeth further declare his Royall pleasure by this His Proclamation , that Hee will take his iust aduantages against all such persons as shall neglect , by the time prefixed , to repayre hither , and in conuenient time after to compound for passing their Lands vpon the sayd Commission , and vpon such neglect his Maiestie resolues to dispose thereof for His best profit , either to such persons as shall be Suitors for the same , or otherwise at His pleasure .

And Hee doeth also by this his publike Declaration straitly charge and command , that vntill the sayd first day of September , and after as long as the sayd Commission shall bee continued heere for this seruice , No person or persons do presume to make suit vnto his Highnesse for Grants or Confirmations of Estates of any Lands or Hereditaments , or other matter touching his Estate or Reuenue within that Realme , nor passe any of the premisses but vpon the sayd Commission .
