An Act for the further Security of His Majesties Person and the Succession of the Crown in the Protestant Line and for extinguishing the Hopes of the pretended Prince of Wales and all other Pretenders and their open and secret Abettors.

An Act for continuing an Act made in the Eighth Year of his late Majesty's reign,[e] for better preventing the counterfeiting the current coin of this kingdom.
