The estates of parliament, considering that the profanation of the Sabbath is occasioned by keeping fairs upon Saturday and Monday as it was by keeping weekly markets upon these days, do therefore inhibit and discharge all burghs and towns to keep fairs upon Monday and Saturday under the pain contained in the act passed in June 1640 against keeping weekly markets on these days; which act the estates do hereby extend against keeping of fairs upon these days in the whole tenor and effect thereof.
