❧ By the King . ❧ A Proclamation directing how Prisoners shall bee ordered which are taken at Sea , by men of Warre .

FOrasmuch as during the Hostility betweene Vs , and the Kings of France and Spaine , diuers of their Subiects haue been taken at Sea , and brought into this Kingdome , as Prisoners , by priuate men of Warre , and there suffered to passe vp and downe freely , whereby they haue opportunity to obserue all passages of those things which happen heere , to conferre with Our ill affected Subiects , and to corrupt them , and to view the situation and condition of the Ports and places of this Land , fittest for Inuasion , whereby great preiudice may growe to Vs , and to Our State , if it shall not bee preuented .

Wee therefore , by the aduice of Our Priuy Counsell , doe hereby declare Our Royall pleasure and commaund , that all such persons as tither already are , or any time hereafter shall be brought into this Kingdome by any priuate man of Warre , as Prisoners , shall bee kept in Prison and safe custodie , at the charge of those who shall so bring them in , vntill they shall hence bee deliuered , and sent backe vnto their seuerall Countreys , either by way of Exchange for Our Subiects , which shall happen to bee Prisoners there , or otherwise . And heereof euery one whom it doeth or may concerne , are to take notice , and duely to obserue the same , as they tender Our heauie displeasure , and will answere their neglect thereof , at their vttermost perils .

Giuen at Our Court at Portesmouth , the three and twentieth day of Iuly , in the fourth yeere of Our Reigne , of Great Britaine , France , and Ireland . God saue the King .
