HIs Majesty , having often called upon the finishing of these Fortifications , and directed the way how and by what means the same should be performed , and yet notwithstanding all His care thereof , finding how slowly it hath proceeded , and that the not paying by some , who are averse from so good a work , doth discourage those also who are and have been forward ( as justly it may , ) and so the work is in danger to faile when it is even almost finished , hath thought fit once more to declare , and He doth hereby declare His expresse Pleasure and Command as followeth , That every Person above the age of sixteen years , and under the age of sixty , inhabiting or residing for the present within the University or Citty of Oxford , shall once in every Week , either work in Person at or upon the Fortifications there , or for his , her , or their not working shall pay twelve pence for every such default , wherewith some other able and fit person may be hired to work in their steed , and this to continue untill the said Fortifications shall be fully finished , and those workers to be ordered in such manner as His Majesty hath appoynted or shall appoynt . And because the safety and defencablenesse of the place doth concerne all Persons of all sexes and of all degrees and qualities , who reside here , His Majesties pleasure and Command is , That all Women of the ages aforesaid ( not having Husbands in this place , who either work in their Persons , or pay for others to work in their turnes ) shall pay their Twelve pence as well as men , their safety being concerned as well or more then men are concerned in this case . And His Majesty doth farther Declare , that he doth expect that all Noblemen , and such as are of His Privy-Councell , shall in this case pay as well , or rather before others , thereby to give example to others ; And that all His servants of His Houshold , Servants to His dearest Consort the Queene , Also servants to Prince Charles , and the Duke of Yorke shall duly pay ; All such also as worke unto His Majesty in any faculty whatsoever , All Gentlemen attending Him in His Troope , and their Servants , and all Commanders , Captains , Officers and Souldiers residing in this Citty , not being bound to continuall duty , in their turnes shall work in Person , or pay for the same as aforesaid ; And if any Person shall willingly and voluntarily extend him or her selfe farther in a case of this consequence , His Majesty will gratiously accept thereof . His Majesty doth farther command , That all the arreerages past be duly paid into the hands of the severall Treasurers or Receivers for that purpose appoynted , which in the Colledges and Halls is to some publique Officer of the House , and in the Citty is to the Church-wardens and Constables of the severall Parishes , by or before Wednesday next at twelve of the Clock , & from thenceforth duly payd weekly ; & because the payment may not be deferred unnecessarily , His Majesty doth command , That all Lodgers within every house within this Citty , doe leave their mony payable by them with the Maister , Mistresse or Dame of the family , of whom it shall be demanded without expecting a Personall demand from any : But if any shall refuse or neglect to observe His Majesties command in and concerning the premises , His Majesties expresse pleasure is , That He be speedily informed of the names of all such Persons , whom He shall esteeme as Persons disaffected to His service , and besides the levying of the mony from them in such a way as the nature of the service doth require , if such defaulters be His own Servants , He shall hold them unworthy to be continued in His Service ; if they be such Persons whose company may well be spared in this place , He will ease the place of their presence , seeing they will not be sensible of the safety thereof .
