Forasmuch as the estates of parliament, taking into their consideration the great number of men that the sheriffdom of Fife within the presbyteries of St Andrews, Cupar and Kirkcaldy have lost and had killed to them in the service of the public at Kilsyth and Tibbermore, they do therefore hereby free and liberate the said shire of Fife within the three presbyteries above-named from all putting out of any men by virtue of the act of parliament of the date hereof made for recruiting the regiments and forces within and without the kingdom, and declare them free of the force and execution of the said act relating thereto, and except the said three presbyteries therefrom, for the which this act shall be a warrant.
