the third day of March in the fourteenth yeere of our Reigne of England France and Ireland and of Scotland the fiftieth for the considerations therin mentioned Assigned and appointed Sir Gyles Mompesson of Bathe-hampton in the County of VViltes Knight Gyles Bridges of VVilton in the County of Hereford Esquire and Iames Thurbarne of Grayes Inne in the County of Middlesex Esquire Our

appeare By the which Prouiso Wee intended as well the generall benefit of Our Subiects by redressing the excessiue prices and exactions vnlawfully encroached on them by Inne-holders and Hostlers as also the reliefe of Inne-holders and Hostlers themselues by allowing them a more conuenient gaine then by certaine ancient and almost absolute statutes made in the reigns of Our most Noble Predecessours King Richard the second and King Henry the fourth is prescribed vnto them which Statutes although they remaine as yet in force yet considering the times wherein they were inacted and the alteration of prises incident to the Succession of so many ages besides the difference of monies then and now current within this Our Kingdome haue by degrees so farre out-worne that originall equity and proportion vppon which they were first grounded as that at this day they cannot be obserued without the extreame preiudice and almost vtter vndoing of Hostlers who notwithstanding are by the breach therof continually subiect to no lesse mischiefe by popular informations But now finding vppon further aduice that these Our charitable intentions cannot haue so good effect as we expected for
