By the Lord Deputie and Councell ❧ A Proclamation for the Banishment of Iesuites and Priests c. HENRY FALKLAND IT is well knowne by daily experience what intolerable mischiefes and inconueniences haue growne vpon this Realme through the extraordinary resort of such persons hither as are commonly called titulary popish Archbishops Bishops Vicars generall Abbots Priors Deanes Jesuites Fryers Seminary priests and others of that Sect who seeking to set vp and maintaine a forreine power and authority within this his Maiesties Dominion The said Bishops by pretence thereof haue vsurped and exercised Ecclesiasticall Jurisdiction within this Kingdome in all spirituall and Ecclesiasticall causes to the great derogation of his Maiesties imperiall Crowne And the said inferiour Secular Priests haue likewise exercised all spirituall and Sacerdotall functions as christening marrying and such like and by colour there of haue taken and exacted sundry spirituall duties from such as are seduced by them to the intolerable grieuance and impouerishing of this poore nation And they all seeking and daily endeuouring to peruert the hearts of his Maiesties subiects and to draw them from the true Religion here established to blindnesse and superstition to alienate their affections from their Souereigne liege Lord the Kings Maiestie and to subiect them to the said forreine authoritie to the generall disturbance of the common peace and tranquillitie of this Kingdome For reformation of which abuses and auoiding of such seditious persons sundry Proclamations haue beene issued and published in this Kingdome some by immediate warrant from his Maiestie out of England and others by authoritie of the Lord Deputie and Councell of this Kingdome for the time being thereby strictly charging and commanding them forthwith or within some short time then after and now long sithence
