WHereas We are credibly Advertised, That many Seditious persons who are given to change, and of desperate Designs, not having any sense either of former Intestine Distractions, the memory whereof should endear and put a value upon that miraculous Peace and Settlement by Our Restauration, nor being moved by Our reiterated Acts of Grace and Clemency, wherein We have studied and delighted to abound towards all Our Subjects, nor with the fresh and late exemplary Iustice upon Traiterous Offenders, have Pernitiously and Traiterously of late at­tempted to Imbroyl again this Our Kingdom in Bloud, by Complotting and Contriving an Insurrection and Rebellion against Our Person, Crown and Government, wickedly propo­sing to themselves a Prey and Booty in the Publick Confusion. And whereas Richard Oldred of Duesbury, William Dickenson of Gildersome, Jeremy Marshden of Hughall, [...] Marshden his brothers, David Lumley of Hutton-Roides, Simeon Butler of Bingley, John Atkinson, called the Stockener, Christopher Dawson of Leeds, Ed­ward Wilkinson of Hounslett, [...] Fisher late Preacher of Sheffeild in Our County of York, [...] Richarson, commonly called Doctor, Captain Mason of the Bishoprick of Durham, Captain Jones of London, [...] Palmer Minister near Nottingham, Captain Atkinson, and Nicholas Locker of Scegby in the said County of Nottingham, being persons in­gaged in the said Horrid and Treasonable Conspiracy, and being conscious of their own Guilt, have fled or with­drawn themselves from Iustice, and do privately lurk and obscure themselves in places unknown, whereby they cannot be apprehended and brought to a Legal Tryal for their Offences. We therefore have thought fit, by and with the Advice of Our Privy Council, to publish the same to all Our loving Subjects, not doubting of their care and forwardness in their Apprehension. And We do by this Our Proclamation Command and Declare, That all and every the persons before named, within Fourteen days after the Publication hereof, personally appear and render themselves to some of Our Privy Council, or of the Iustices of Peace, or Sheriffs of Our Counties of England and Wales, under pain of being proceeded against as Guilty of High Treason, according to Law. And We do here­by Require and Command, aswell all and singular Our Iudges, Iustices of Peace, Mayors, Sheriffs, Bayliffs, Constables and Headboroughs, as also all the Officers and Ministers of Our Ports, and other Our Subjects what­soever, within Our Realms of England, Scotland, Ireland, or Dominion of Wales, and all other Our Dominions and Territories, to be diligent in Enquiring and Searching for the said persons in all places whatsoever, aswell within Liberties as without; Whom, or any of them, if they shall happen to take, Our further Will and Pleasure is, That they cause them so apprehended, to be safely carried before the next Iustice of the Peace to the place where he or they shall be Arrested; whom we straitly Command to Commit them and every of them to Prison, and presently Inform Vs or some of Our Privy Council of their said Apprehension. And We do hereby straitly charge and forbid all Our lo­ving Subjects of what degree or quality soever, That they do not presume to entertain or harbour any of the persons aforesaid, but they use their utmost endeavours to apprehend them. And We do hereby Declare and Publish, That if any person or persons after this Our Proclamation published, shall directly or indirectly conceal, harbour, keep, retain or maintain the said persons, or any of them, or shall contrive or connive at any means whereby they or any of them may escape from being Taken or Arrested, or shall not use their best endeavours for their Apprehension, aswell by giving due Advertisement thereof to Our Officers, as by all other good means, We will (as there is just cause) pro­ceed against them that shall so neglect this Our Commandment, with all severity, according to Iustice, and other demerits.

Given at the Court at Whitehal, the Tenth day of November, in the Fifteenth year of His Majesties Reign.

God save the King.
