C2 R DIEV ET MON DROIT HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE His Majesties Gracious Proclamation for Ordering the Prosecution of all Rebels and their Ressetters for holding Justice-airs and admitting Rebels not Heretors to take the Test c. CHARLES by the Grace God King of Great-Britain France and Ireland Defender of the Faith To Our Lyon King at Arms and his Brethren Heraulds Macers Pursevants and Messengers at Arms our Sheriffs in that part conjunctly and severally specially Constitute Greeting Forasmuch as We by our Gracious Letter under Our Royal Hand directed to our Privy Council Dated at Our Court at New-Mercat the twentie first day of March last did signify how well We were satisfied with the Account We had lately received of the State of Affairs in this Our Ancient Kingdom and with the successful Methods Our Council had fallen upon for settling the Peace therein and reducing People to Order and Conformity and in this Exigence did think sit it should be made known to Our People by Proclamation that though We have been too often induced to grant Indempnities and Indulgences and other Favours to that Phanatick and disaffected Party which as Time and Experience have showen had no other Effects then to encourage them to further Disorders and embolden them to abuse Our Royal Goodness whatever fair hopes were given Us at the procuring of them yet it was still and is now more then ever Our Royal Inclination and firm Resolution to extirpate and root out these Seditious and Rebellious Principles and to maintain the Church-Government as it is Established by Law And seeing We are now fully perswaded that it is neither difference in Religion nor tenderness of Conscience as is pretended but meerly Principles of Disloyalty and Disaffection to Us and Our Government that moves there under pretext of Religion to disturb the Quiet of Our Reign and Peace of this Our Ancient Kingdom Therefore We do strictly Require Our Privy Council and all Our Judges and Magistrates to put the Laws vigorously in Execution against all Persons who since Our late Indempnity have been or shall be hereafter found guilty of any Phanatical Disorders or Irregularities especially those who continue obstinate in them And seeing We are informed that several of Our Subjects are so Disloyal to Us and Inhumane to their Country as to harbour resset and entertain the Disturbers of its Peace open and declared notour Rebels and Traitors We do therefore likewise Command that all such Persons as are or shall be found guilty of Ressetting Maintaining Harbouring Intercommuning Conversing with or doing Favours to Persons who are Forefaulted Traitors or denounced and registrat at the Horn for Rebellion be pursued before Our Justice Court and punished as Traitors according to Law And though all persons guilty of Resetting Maintaining Harbouring Intercommuning Conversing with or doing Favours to notour and known Rebels that have actually been in the Rebellion albeit neither Forefaulted as Traitors nor Denunced and Registrat at the Horn for Rebellion may be also punished with the pains of Treason Yet lest any of our Subjects may have fallen unhappily into that Mistake because of the great number of Rebels that for several Years have haunted and frequented some parts of our Western and Southern Shires We in Our Royal Prudence and Clemency Recommend to Authorize and Impower Our Privy Council that as they shall see cause they may give Warrand to and command Our Advocate to cause Summon and Cite before them such Persons as they have reason to suspect to be guilty of the Crimes of Ressetting Maintaining Harbouring Intercommuning Conversing with or doing Favours to any notour or known Rebels that have been actually in the Rebellion and which Rebels have not been Forefaulted as Traitors or Denunced and Registrat at the Horn for Rebellion before the time those Persons Ressetted Harboured Maintained or Intercommuned Conversed with or did them Favour As also all Persons guilty of Intercommuning or Conversing even with Forefaulted Rebels or Denunced or Registrat at the Horn occasioned by chance and accident And We do Authorize and Impower Our Privy Council to judge them upon Probation of Witnesses or Oath of Party as they shall see most convenient for Our Service and in case they refuse to Depone or to appear when cited personally or at their Dwelling-Houses or at the Mercat Cross of Edinburgh Peer and Shoar of Leith if out of the Kingdom to hold them as confest and to restrict the ordinary pains of Treason to Banishment Fining or other Arbitrary Punishment Likeas We do hereby Declare that such Persons so judged by our Privy Council shall upon Absolvitor or satisfying of the Sentence be as fully Secured and Indemnified as to these Crimes for which they shall be so judged by them as if they had a particular Remission for each of these Crimes under Our Great Seal And being also perswaded that Our Privy Council will use all Diligence to bring to condign Punishment such who deserve the same and desirous to secure Our Subjects We do declare that after the space of three Years from the first of January 1684 no new Process shall be raised nor any Person pursued save only such as have been Cited within the foresaid time upon the Head of Ressetting Maintaining Harbouring Intercommuning Conversing with or doing favours to Forefaulted Rebels or others Acted done or committed at any time preceding the first of May 1683. We do also likewise give to Our Privy Council full Power and Authority when they shall find it necessary for Our Service to Commissionat such as they shall think fit in the respective Shires for Judging those they have not time or conveniency to call before themselves and are guilty of Ressetting Maintaining Harbouring Intercommuning Conversing with or doing favours to Persons who are notour and known Rebels and who have been actually in the late Rebellion though not Forefaulted nor Denunced and Registrat at the Horn for Rebellion As also all Persons guilty of Intercommuning or Conversing even with Forefaulted Rebels or Denunced and Registrat at the Horn occasioned by chance and accident and that in the same way and with the same Powers that We have have hereby allowed to Our Council And because several of Our Commons that were engaged in the late Rebellion may have through Ignorance lost the benefit of Our Indemnity by not taking the Bond in due time and are yet desirous to return to their Duty We do declare that all such who shall take the Test before Our Privy Council or Our Justiciary or any Commissionated by the Council any time betwixt this and the first of August next shall and are hereby declared to be as sufficiently Indemnified as they would have been if they had taken the Bond in due time And for that effect and for punishing such as refuse thus to be Reclaimed We do hereby also Order That Circuit Courts be holden in Our Western and Southern Shires and other places needful in the
