ALthough it cannot be without griefe to vs to publish , that in this our Kingdome we should finde any Subiect so contrary to all the rest of our louing people , who in so great multitudes haue made perfect proofe of their vnspotted lyaltie to vs : Yet hath there such an accident happened so farce beyond our expectation , as We could not conceale it without prciudice to our Selfe , and our Estate , whereof we assure our Sclues , that al our good subiects wilbe very sensible , That is , that it hath bene discouered to vs by seuerall persons , that our Anthony Copley , the yonger brother of one Copley that is lately returued from forreine parts unto this Countrey , hath dealt with some to be of a conspiracie to vse some violence vpon our Person , whereby must either haue followed perill to our life , or danger of innouation in our State . Which Anthony Copley , hauing bene sought for since his practising with others , by the ordinary Officers and ministers our State , in places about our Court , and our Citie of London , cannot yet be found : So as it seemeth he lurketh very closely , awayting opportunitie to attempt his treasonable purposes , or to procure other of our Subiects to conspire with him in so disioyall a fact .

Wherefore we haue found it necessary to make publike declaration to all our people of his wicked purpose , knowing well that all true and loyal Subiects , howsoeuer diuided from the State in matter of Religion , will abhorre so vngrations and traiterous a minde , of which good affection Wee require them all to make proofe , by doing their endeuouts to discouer and apprchend the sayde Anthony Copley wheresoeuer hee may bee found : Charging all Lieutenants , Deputie Lieutenants , Iustices of Peace , Maiors , Shiriffes , Constables , and all other our Ministers whomsoeuer , so be diligent in enquiring and searching for the said Anthony Copley : whom if they shall happen to take , Our pleasure is they send him presently to our Priuie Counsell , or to some of our ordinary Magistrates , to abide the triall of our Lawes for his fact . And do further declare , That if any person on our Realme shall conceale , harbour , keepe or maintaine the sayd Anthony Copley , after they haue by this our Proclamation , or otherwise , notice of his traiterous purpose : Wee must , as there is iust cause , extend against them the power of our indignation , and the rigour of our Lawes , though we shall be sory to find any such occasion giuen by any of our Subiects whom we doe hold so deare .
