C'est pourquoi il / desireroit qu'il nous plût faire défenses à tous Artisans & / autres personnes, de faire ou faire faire ledit instrument / sans son consentement, nous suppliant à cette fin de lui / accorder nos Lettres sur ce nécessaires; et parce que ledit"

This is why he / would like us to forbid all Craftsmen & / other people, to make or have made the said instrument / without his consent, begging us for this purpose to grant him / our Letters for this necessary; and because said"
