Archery and Artillery within this our Realme of England whereby the same being put in due execution in tymes past hathe not onlie bredd and encreased a greate force and strength towards the mayntenaunce defence and safety of this our said Realme against Forein Powers but also a feare and terror to all other Realms and Forein Enemies in tymes of Warr and Hostility Yet the same good Statutes Ordynances and Proclamations made by vs and our said noble Progenitors cannot nowe so well take place as they ought and haue done in tymes past and specially about our Citty of London by reason that diuerse and sundry persons having about our said Citty of London diuerse Landes Tenements and Hereditaments and saeking to enclose the same otherwise then hathe bine accustomed to the advancement of their owne singuler benefitts and gaine without respect of others Commoditie haue pluckt away and yet still do mind to pluck away from our lovinge Subiects the necessarie and proffitable Exercise of shooting in such Feilds and ●loses as tyme out of mynde haue bine allowed to be shott in aswell by making of such Bankes and Hedges as also by plucking up of the oulde Marks of ancyent tyme standing in the said Closes Insomuch that our said Subiects being in the common Feilds and for diuersities and change of Markes séeking to finde a Marke in the said Closes and seuerall Grounds cannot by reason for the most parte the Banckes and Hedges beinge made of such a height sae the Grounds of the said Closes or Feilds within the said Banckes As also by reason that where the Bancke or Hedge beinge but of indifferent height the Ditches be made so broad and déep and wanting Bridges and other convenient Places to passe through and over the same that our said Subiects the Archers vsing their Trade and Pastime be very much hind●e● lett and discoraged therein and often tymes in great perill and danger for la●ke of convenient roomes and places to ●hoote in And as we are ●redibly informed by reason of the aforesaid Ditching He●ging and Enclosures it ys verie like there will grow a verie greate straight and want of roome about our said Citty of London aswell for such as doe presently vse the said game of shooting as also for those that shall hereafter exercise vse or occupie the said Game and Pastime to the greate hi●drance and decay aswell of the said vse and exercise of shooting as also of the said Statutes Ordynances Prouisions and Proclamations and contrarie to the ancyent Customes heretofore vsed about our said Citty of London whereby might ensue to sundrie of our said Subiects occasion to haunt and frequent some other kynde of vnlawfull Games wherevnto there are to many inclined which our meanynge ys shal be in no wise suffered For avoydinge
