All the articles and clauses of the indenture formerly made between Lord William Skeffington, Deputy, and the said Conatius shall be observed by the latter; like as the Lord Deputy shall observe to the Lord O'Neyle such things as are therein specified respecting the levying of his tributes and ancient customs, in the same manner as the Lord Deputy shall levy the rents, revenues, and other tributes belonging to the King from the adherents, kinsmen and others being of the peace of the Lord O'Neyle, without breaking the peace.
