And upon considering that the Gravers for their private advantage & encouragement & for restraining the libery of making Medals wthwith the Effigies of the King or Queen, have been hitherto allowed & all other persons prohibited to make such Medals: we are humbly of opinion that they Graver be obliged to set his name or the first letters thereof visibly upon his own medals & that he do not disperse any such Medals before a specimen of them hath been shewed to yoryour LordpLordship. And if it be thought fit requisite he may be restrained from making any Medals upon state affairs unless pursuant to her Majts Orders issued to the Master & Workerin coppying after Meddals made by ther Master & Worker according to her MajtsMajestys Orders as in yethe case of coronation Medals, in wchwhich case he or be other otherwise limited as yoryour LordpLordship shall think fit.
