We command you to cause public proclamation to be made in all places within your bailwick, that whereas the King has for a long time maintained a great army in Ireland, as well for the conservation and defence of the said land as for the annoyance of his enemies, and has, for the relief of the said army and of his subjects, ordered a coin of money, as well groats as pence of twopence, to be current only within Ireland, "bearing the print of the Harp of the one side thereof;" and divers persons have lately transported and brought the said coin out of Ireland, and uttered the same in England: the King straightly commands that no person shall from henceforth bring out of Ireland any of the said coin of groats or pence of twopence, or utter the same in England, Wales, Berwick, Calais, or the Marches of the same, upon pain of forfeiting the treble value of the said coin, and of being imprisoned and fined.
