We continue, as before, to forbid the possession, sale or distribution of these Danish books, from this day forth, by all persons at home and abroad, unless they intend, individually or collectively, to act against Us and the Crown, whereupon they shall be held accountable and punished if they act against these issued letters and mandates. It is our wish that our bailiffs, mayors and all other persons in their counties, towns and cities be diligently and graciously aware that this is a serious prohibition and mandate without exception. We hereby jointly invite and command our superintendents to make proper inspections in their respective districts, and to assist the existing provosts and priests, so that everyone in their dominions and parishes, both in the merchant towns and in the countryside, may diligently supervise that no such books are kept, sold or distributed. And should any person take it upon himself to act against this prohibition, our bailiffs and others in authority
