Lords and Commons in Parliament assembled, That
the Committee of the Lords and Commons for the
Admiralty, or Lord High Admiral, or Commissioners
of the Admiralty for the Time being, appointed by

Vessels, as now are, or hereafter shall be, requisite
and necessary for the Transportation of Soldiers,
Arms, Ammunition, or other Provisions, to any Port
in the Kingdom of Ireland, for the Service of the
Parliament, upon such Terms, and at such Rates, as
shall be reasonable; and all Justices of Peace, Mayors,
Sheriffs, Bailiffs, Officers of Ports, and all other Persons
whom this may concern, are at their Peril to give their
best Assistance thereunto, as they will answer the contrary."

Duty, at their utmost Peril.
