❧_o by_o the_o king_n in_o call_v to_o our_o princely_a remembrance_n that_o in_o the_o late_a rebellion_n upon_o pretence_n of_o depopulation_n and_o unlawful_a enclosure_n the_o great_a number_n of_o the_o offender_n have_v not_o be_v proceed_v with_o according_a to_o justice_n and_o their_o traitorous_a deserve_n no_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o apprehend_v or_o touch_v for_o the_o same_o although_o they_o be_v in_o no_o better_a case_n or_o degree_n than_o those_o few_o which_o have_v suffer_v or_o be_v call_v in_o question_n there_o want_v not_o some_o reason_n and_o circumstance_n which_o if_o we_o will_v consult_v only_o with_o policy_n or_o passion_n may_v induce_v we_o to_o further_a severity_n and_o a_o more_o general_a execution_n of_o the_o law_n upon_o the_o same_o offender_n for_o we_o be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o of_o all_o other_o sedition_n and_o rebellion_n none_o do_v bring_v such_o infinite_a waste_n and_o desolation_n upon_o a_o kingdom_n or_o state_n as_o these_o popular_a insurrection_n which_o though_o they_o do_v seldom_o shake_v or_o endanger_v a_o crown_n yet_o they_o do_v bring_v a_o heap_n of_o calamity_n upon_o multitude_n of_o innocent_a subject_n and_o chief_o upon_o the_o author_n and_o actor_n themselves_o and_o again_o we_o do_v observe_v that_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o any_o necessity_n of_o famine_n or_o dearth_n of_o corn_n or_o any_o other_o extraordinary_a accident_n that_o may_v stir_v or_o provoke_v they_o in_o that_o manner_n to_o offend_v but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v think_v to_o proceed_v of_o a_o kind_n of_o insolency_n and_o contempt_n of_o our_o mild_a and_o gracious_a government_n which_o may_v in_o some_o prince_n turn_v the_o same_o into_o more_o heavy_a wrath_n and_o displeasure_n but_o we_o nevertheless_o have_v at_o the_o very_a entrance_n of_o our_o reign_n in_o the_o high_a treason_n against_o our_o own_o person_n intermingle_v mercy_n with_o justice_n be_v much_o more_o incline_v in_o this_o case_n which_o concern_v a_o number_n of_o poor_a &_o simple_a people_n to_o extend_v our_o natural_a clemency_n to_o ward_n they_o whereupon_o we_o have_v resolve_v to_o set_v wide_o open_v the_o gate_n of_o our_o mercy_n unto_o they_o and_o to_o bestow_v upon_o they_o our_o free_a grace_n and_o pardon_v without_o further_a suit_n or_o supplication_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v hereby_o take_v and_o receive_v all_o the_o say_a offender_n and_o every_o of_o they_o to_o our_o mercy_n and_o of_o our_o grace_n and_o mere_a motion_n free_o pardon_v unto_o they_o their_o say_a offence_n and_o all_o pain_n of_o death_n or_o other_o punishment_n due_a for_o the_o same_o and_o promise_v unto_o they_o in_o the_o word_n of_o their_o natural_a liege_n lord_n and_o king_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v in_o any_o wise_a molest_a or_o impeach_v in_o life_n member_n land_n or_o good_n for_o their_o say_a offence_n or_o any_o of_o they_o so_o as_o nevertheless_o that_o before_o michaelmas_n next_o they_o do_v submit_v themselves_o and_o acknowledge_v their_o say_a offence_n before_o our_o lieutenant_n deputy_n lieutenant_n or_o sheriff_n in_o the_o county_n where_o they_o shall_v remain_v whereof_o we_o will_v and_o command_v a_o note_n or_o entry_n to_o be_v make_v and_o keep_v and_o we_o be_v further_a gracious_o please_v that_o if_o any_o of_o they_o several_o or_o joint_o shall_v desire_v for_o their_o better_a assurance_n to_o have_v our_o pardon_n under_o our_o great_a seal_n that_o our_o chancellor_n shall_v make_v the_o same_o unto_o they_o without_o further_a warrant_n in_o that_o behalf_n not_o intend_v nevertheless_o to_o prejudice_n any_o our_o subject_n private_a suit_n or_o action_n but_o so_o much_o as_o in_o we_o be_v absolute_o to_o acquit_v &_o discharge_v they_o against_o we_o our_o heir_n &_o successor_n give_v at_o our_o castle_n of_o windsor_n the_o 24._o day_n of_o july_n in_o the_o five_o year_n of_o our_o reign_n of_o great_a britain_n france_n and_o ireland_n god_n save_o the_o king_n ❧_o imprint_v at_o london_n by_o robert_n barker_n printer_n to_o the_o king_n most_o excellent_a majesty_n anno_fw-la dom_fw-la 1607._o
