Please it your Grace to be advertised

The Duke of York is newly come from Ireland;

 

-Messenger

 King Henry The Sixth Part II   Act IV, Scene ii, Line 24

 

That’s an interesting use of the word advertised, isn’t it?


And may it be advertised that this is my view as I was leaving Ireland. I'm guessing that the Duke of York's view upon leaving was a little bit different.
