fitt objects of mercy by a pardon
to bee granted them. But there
being a Clause in His Commission
whereby ^ the Pardon of Treason & Wilfull
murther are is reserved unto
His Majesty ^ alone The Governor having
only power to reprieve such offenders
in such Cases; The Earle of
Carlisle has therefore reprieved
The Prisners above mentiond and
by this Certificate does represent

His Gracious Pardon for of the offences
