Grant of excise and tonnage revenue for public uses
The preamble shows excise and tonnage revenue is for public uses including defense and public charges. It notes hearth-money as public revenue and explains pensions tied to the former court were voided to prevent private property claims. A clause restrains the crown from charging pensions, and the exchequer can compel repayment with double forfeiture for pension claims.
