THe foule and insolent outrages lately committed vpon the borders of our Realmes of England and Scotland by persons accustomed in former times to liue by rapine and spoyle , praying dayly vpon our good and louing Subiects without feare of God or man , hath giuen vs iust cause to vse , all meanes conuenient both for the reliefe of our Subiects damnifyed , and for preuention of the like mischiefe hereafter . Wherefore as of late we gaue commission to proceede against those persons , that were guiltie of those foule facts : So now againe , because as yet such redresse hath not followed as both our honour and our good Subiects losse do require , We haue thought good to renew that our Commission to certaine persons of qualitie and of good vnderstanding in the affaires of those our Borders , And withall , to publish by open proclamation to all men , but specially to such , as are guiltie , or were partakers of the foule incursions made vpon our first comming to our Crowne of this our Realme of England , or any others before or since , That whereas some of them haue of late submitted themselues , and some others seemed to be willing to submit themselues to our merry , Because they and all others shall know , that as we are a Prince that before all worldly respects whatsocuer affecteth the preseruation of Iustice among our people , and the punishment of such , as breake the Rules thereof , So that we are not indisposed to shew mercy where there is cause to extend it , and where the same is sought at our hands in such dutifull maner , as is meete : We doe therefore charge all persons whatsoeuer , who know themselues to haue bene Actours , Partners , or of consent to that incursion aboue mentioned , or to any other breach of our peace within the Counties and Lymits heretofore called our Borders both of the English side and of the Scottish , that they doe before the twentieth day of Iune next comming resort to such place , where they shall vnderstand our Commissioners to be , and there submit themselues to such mercy and fauour , as wee shall thinke good to extend towards them : Assuring them in the worde of our Royall and Supreme power , that whosoeuer of them shall not before the sayd twentieth day of Iune haue submitted himselfe according to the tenour of this our Proclamation , shall holde himselfe for euer excluded from our mercy without hope at any time to obtaine grace or fauour , but to abide the rigour of such punishment , as our power can lay upon him .
