❧ A Proclamation for the calling in, and sup­pressing of two Sermons, Preached and Printed by Roger Manwaring, Doctor in Diuinity, intituled, Religion and Allegiance.

WHereas Roger Manwaring, Doctor in Diuinity, hath lately prea­ched two Sermons, the one vpon the fourth, the other on the nine and twentieth of Iuly last, and after caused them to bee printed, and bound vp into one Volume, & intituled by him, Religion and Allegiance, in which Sermons, although the grounds thereof were rightly laid, to perswade obedience from the Subjects to their Souereigne, and that for conscience sake; Yet in diuers passages, inferences, & applicati­ons thereof, trenching vpon the Lawes of this Land, & proceedings of Parliaments, whereof hee was ignorant, hee so farre erred, that hee hath drawen vpon himselfe the iust Censure and Sentence of the high Court of Parliament, by whose iudgement also that Booke stands condemned: Wee, taking this into Our serious consideration, and beeing desirous to take away all occasions of scandall or offence, haue thought fit, that those Sermons, in respect of those inferences and applications which hee made thereon, bee totally suppressed.

And, to that purpose, Wee doe hereby straitly charge and command all and euery person and persons whatsoeuer, in whose hands any of those Bookes now are, or hereafter shall be, that they foorthwith deliuer, or cause the same to bee deliuered, to the Bishop, or other Ordinary of that Diocesse or place where hee or they at any time are, if it be not within either of Our Vni­uersities; and if it bee in either of the Vniuersities, that then he or they deliuer the same to the Vicechancellour of that Vniuersitie, to whom Wee doe heereby giue speciall charge and com­mand to cause them all to bee vtterly suppressed.

And Wee doe further charge and command, that no man hereafter presume to print the sayd Sermons, or either of them againe, vpon paine of Our high displeasure, and of such further punishment, as for their presumption, in that behalfe, may any way bee inflicted vpon them.

Giuen at Our Court at Whitehall, the foure and twentieth day of Iune, in the fourth yeere of Our Reigne of Great Britaine, France, and Ireland.


God saue the King.
