WHEREAS We have taken notice , that by the Malice , Industry , and Importunity of severall ill-affected and seditious Persons in Our County of Hertford , very many of Our weake & seduced Subjects in that Our County have not only beene drawne to exercise the Militia , under colour of a pretended Ordinance , without and against Our Consent , ( a Crime of a very high nature , if We would strictly enquire thereinto ) but have made Contributions of Plate , Money , and Horses , towards the Maintenance of the Army now in Rebellion against Vs ; We doe hereby publish and declare , That We are gratiously pleased to attribute the Crimes and Offences of Our said Subjects of that County , to the Power and Faction of their Seducers ; Who , We beleeve , by Threates , Menaces , and false Informations compelled and led them into these Actions of undutifullnesse and disloyalty towards Vs ; And We doe therefore hereby offer Our free and gracious Pardon to all the Inhabitants of Our said County of Hertford , for all offences concerning the Premisses committed against Vs , before the publishing of this Our Proclamation , except such persons only as are already in prison for any of those offences . Provided , that this Our Grace shall not extend to any Person , who after the publishing this Our Proclamation shall presume by Loane or Contribution , to assist the said Army of Rebells , to assemble and muster themselves in Armes without Authority derived from Vs under Our Hand , to enter into any Oath of Association for opposing Vs and Our Army , or to succour , or entertaine any of the Persons excepted in Our Declaration of the 12th of August . But We must and doe declare , That whosoever shall henceforward be guilty of the Premisses , or of either of them , shall be esteemed by Vs as an Enemy to the publike Peace , a Person disaffected to Vs , and to the Religion and Lawes of the Kingdome , and shall accordingly receive condigne punishment , of which We give them timely notice , that they may proceed accordingly at their perills . And Wee doe hereby will and require Our high Sheriffe , Commissioners of Array , Iustices of the Peace , and all other Our Officers , and loving Subjects to resist , oppose , and apprehend all such Persons as shall presume to make any Leavies in that Our County , under what pretence soever , without Authority derived from Vs under Our Hand . And We likewise will and require them , and every of them to be assistant to all such as shall either Command the Traine-Bands of that Our County , or make any Leavies in the same by vertue of Commission under Our Great Seale , or Signe Manuall .

Given at Our Court at Oxford , the seventh day of Ianuary , in the Eighteenth yeare of Our Reigne . God save the King .
