Against the exemption of Nicolas Uddart, burgess of Edinburgh

Item, regarding the act of parliament made in favour of the weavers and fullers to have been brought within the realm out of the low countries and put to work by Nicolas Uddart, merchant burgess of Edinburgh, and containing an exemption of the said Nicolas from stents and taxations; for doing thereof, our sovereign lord, with advice of his estates, finds that the said matter has not taken effect, and therefore has declared and declares the immunity granted to the said Nicolas from all stents and taxations to have no effect in time coming, and the said Nicolas to bear burden with his neighbours in all time coming, as he ought to have done before the said act.
