That although the said last Bill of Tonnage and Poundage hath not yet had the Royall Assent and therefore the Subject by the Law is not compellable to pay the duty therein limited to be paid yet the premises and pressing necessities considered the Lords and Commons doe declare that it shall be taken as an acceptable service to the Common-wealth by a manifestation of their good affections to the publick of all those that shall upon entry of their goods advance and pay by way of Loane unto the Collectors or Commissioners which now are or hereafter shall be named or to their Deputy or Deputies all such sum or summes of money as are payable by the last Book of Rates and should have beene due in case the said Bill had past for a Law 3 That every Merchant so advancing money as abovesaid shall have allowance by way of defalcation of fifteen pounds per cent out of every hundred pou●ds hee or they shall so advance and pay over and above all other allowances made in the said Bill or Book of Rates or either of them and so out of every greater and lesser summe after that rate 4 Whereas the Bill of Tonnage and Poundage now remaining with his Majesty cannot have the force of a Law without the further concurrence of the Lords and Commons in respect the Speaker of the House of Commons by and with the consent of the said Commons is to carry the said Bill up into the Lords House for the Royall assent as also in respect that in his Majesties absence from Parliament his Majesty hath no power to passe his Royall assent unto a Bill but by his Letters Patents under the great Seale and signed with his hand declared and notified to the Lords and Commons assembled together in the higher House as by a Statute made in the 23 yeare of the reigne of King Henry the eighth c. 21. appeareth Now the Lords and Commons for the further assurance of Merchants advancing moneys as aforesaid doe promise and declare that before they consent to the perfecting of the said Bill of of Tonnage and Poundage now remaining with his Majesty or any other Bill of Tonnage and Poundage whatsoever provision shall be made that the said allowance of fifteene per Cent. shall be confirmed unto the said Merchants accordingly And that they their heirs executors administrators and assignes shall be forever acquitted and discharged of and from the payment thereof 5 To the intent that no Merchant doth forbeare to advance the said moneys by way of Loan according as hereby is desired in hope that the duties in the said Bill shall not hereafter become payable from the first day of Iuly 1642 The Lords and Commons doe declare that no Bill of Tonnage and Poundage shall hereafter passe in Parliament but such as shall relate be in force to compell all merchants to pay for all goods and merchandize exposed or imposed from the said first day of Iuly 1642 on which day the former Bill of Tonnage and Poundage expired In which Bill there shall be

The Lords and Commons doe ordaine that the same Collectors or Commissioners who have formerly received the severall Duties upon Merchandize upon the severall Bills of Tonnage and Poundage past this Parliament shall be and are deputed to be Commissioners who are enabled by this Ordinance to receive all such summe or summes of Money which shall at any time hereafter be voluntarily advanced by way of Loane in such manner as they have formerly received the former duties of Tonnage and Poundage which said Commissioners their Deputy or Deputies or any one of them shall have full power and authority to give allowance by way of defalcation after the rate of fifteene per Cent. out of all such moneyes as shall be advanced according to the true intent of this Ordinance All which moneys the said Commissioners their Deputy or Deputies shall receive upon Accompt and shall from time to time issue out the same as they the said Commissioners shall be authorized by Order of the Lords and Commons in Parliament or of such other person or persons as they shall nominate and appoint to be imployed for the uses herein before expressed 10 For the more due Execution of the Premises and that account be justly kept and the Commissioners duely charged the Customers and Comptrollers aswell of the City of London as the Out-ports are required once in every 28. dayes to make a true accompt of all such entries as have beene made in the severall Ports respectively and of the moneys payable by the said Entries and are to certifie the said accompts monthly unto William Toames Esquire Surveyer Generall in the Custome House of London who is likewise required to make up a perfect Accompt upon all the severall Certificates and to returne in the same unto the Commons House of Parliament or to such Committee as shall bee thereunto authorized by them 11.
