expressing therein the true quantity of all the land contained

    And that upon return of such certificate to our said office,

certificate to be returned as aforesaid:

    Such person paying to the proper officer of our revenue the

every hundred acres as was formerly paid for the purchase of
every hundred acres of the quantity expressed in such original
grant.

    Reserving to us and our heirs in such grant hereafter to be
issued the annual quit rents, for such surplus land at the same
rate for every hundred acres thereof, as is now payable by
virtue of the original grant for the quantity of land therein
expressed. And we do further assent and agree, and do
hereby authorize and direct that our proper officers of our
revenue give to all intents and purposes both in law and equity,
to the person complying with the requisites aforesaid a full
discharge from and against all purchase money and
arrearages of rent, whatsoever that may be due and payable to us
from the respective dates of such original grants, for or by
reason of such surplus land as aforesaid, any thing in any
former proclamation or instruction contained to the contrary
hereof in any wise notwithstanding.

    And this our proclamation we have caused to be entered
on record in our said land office and other offices of our
revenue, there to remain as a rule and direction to our proper
officers, touching the premises. Witness our trusty and well
beloved Horatio Sharpe, Esq. governor and commander of
our said province, this 17th day of January, in the fifth year
of our dominion, Annoq. Domini, 1756.
