❧_o by_o the_o king_n ¶_o a_o proclamation_n for_o prevention_n of_o future_a abuse_n in_o purueyance_n such_o be_v the_o zeal_n and_o inward_a affection_n which_o we_o have_v find_v in_o all_o sort_n of_o our_o love_a and_o loyal_a subject_n of_o this_o our_o kingdom_n as_o we_o be_v content_a to_o acknowledge_v that_o beside_o the_o christian_a care_n which_o all_o king_n be_v bind_v by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n to_o take_v over_o all_o their_o people_n our_o own_o sense_n and_o apprehension_n of_o their_o complaint_n do_v daily_o increase_v with_o the_o feel_n we_o have_v of_o their_o honest_a merit_n in_o which_o respect_n have_v take_v some_o more_o particular_a pain_n in_o the_o examination_n of_o diverse_a circumstance_n then_o be_v common_a to_o many_o prince_n we_o do_v not_o only_o command_v all_o our_o officer_n to_o be_v very_o diligent_a to_o try_v out_o and_o punish_v the_o offence_n of_o purueyor_n with_o all_o severity_n but_o to_o fall_v into_o serious_a consideration_n how_o all_o occasion_n may_v be_v take_v away_o hereafter_o whereby_o those_o inferior_a minister_n which_o be_v use_v therein_o may_v make_v themselves_o under_o colour_n of_o our_o prerogative_n royal_a the_o instrument_n of_o corruption_n and_o rapine_n a_o matter_n most_o odious_a to_o our_o own_o nature_n who_o have_v always_o more_o desire_n to_o give_v then_o to_o receive_v from_o any_o our_o subject_n except_o it_o be_v where_o necessity_n enforce_v we_o thereunto_o even_o for_o the_o support_n and_o preservation_n of_o that_o state_n and_o dignity_n wherein_o almighty_a god_n have_v place_v us._n for_o better_a assurance_n whereof_o we_o have_v think_v it_o very_o convenient_a at_o this_o time_n to_o take_v some_o occasion_n in_o this_o manner_n to_o express_v the_o fruit_n of_o our_o care_n and_o consideration_n concern_v this_o particular_a point_n of_o purueyance_n first_o when_o we_o be_v inform_v that_o some_o inferior_a minister_n have_v presume_v to_o go_v so_o far_o beyond_o their_o commission_n as_o they_o have_v adventure_v not_o only_o to_o take_v timber_n tree_n grow_v which_o be_v parcel_n of_o our_o subject_n inheritance_n be_v never_o intend_v by_o we_o to_o be_v take_v without_o the_o good_a will_n and_o full_a contentment_n of_o the_o owner_n but_o have_v accustom_v also_o to_o take_v up_o far_o great_a quantity_n of_o provision_n for_o our_o house_n and_o stable_a then_o ever_o come_v or_o be_v needful_a for_o our_o use_n as_o most_o especial_o in_o wood_n coale_n hay_o and_o carriage_n upon_o our_o progress_n journey_n or_o remove_v although_o we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o doubt_v but_o that_o our_o officer_n of_o our_o greenecloth_n have_v be_v and_o will_v be_v ever_o most_o ready_a to_o search_v out_o and_o punish_v all_o such_o offence_n upon_o just_a complaint_n yet_o we_o do_v not_o leave_v the_o pursuit_n &_o trial_n thereof_o to_o they_o only_o but_o do_v particular_o direct_v our_o attorney_n general_a to_o inform_v against_o they_o on_o our_o behalf_n in_o our_o court_n of_o star-chamber_n where_o some_o of_o they_o upon_o their_o confession_n have_v already_o receive_v by_o censure_n of_o that_o court_n condign_a punishment_n by_o fine_a imprisonment_n pillory_n and_o lose_v of_o their_o ear_n and_o some_o other_o seek_v to_o save_v themselves_o by_o deny_v that_o wherewith_o they_o be_v charge_v do_v still_o remain_v under_o examination_n to_o receive_v the_o like_a punishment_n upon_o due_a proof_n thereof_o to_o be_v make_v against_o they_o by_o which_o example_n we_o persuade_v ourselves_o that_o all_o honest_a man_n will_v rest_v so_o well_o assure_v of_o our_o good_a intention_n to_o reform_v abuse_n even_o to_o their_o great_a satisfaction_n when_o there_o be_v just_a occasion_n as_o they_o will_v careful_o and_o willing_o continue_v their_o obedience_n and_o conformity_n to_o those_o course_n for_o furnish_v such_o provision_n as_o be_v necessary_a for_o
