WHereas We intended to have proceeded according to Law and Iustice against George Earl of Bristol , for Crimes of a high nature by him committed against Our Person and Government ; and to the end he might be brought to answer , and to a Legal Tryal , We did give Order , and Our Officers and Ministers have used all diligence to apprehend him ; but he doth conceal and lurk in secret and unknown places , and will not submit himself to Iustice , contrary to his Duty and Allegiance : We have therefore thought f●t , by and with the Advice of Our Privy Council , to publish the same to all Our loving Subjects , and cannot doubt of their care and forwardness in his Discovery and Apprehension . And We do by this Our Proclamation ( whereof he ought , and shall be presumed to take notice ) enjoyn and command the said Earl , with all speed , after the publication hereof , to render himself , and appear at Our Council-Board , there to receive and undergoe such Order as shall be given concerning him . And We do hereby further straitly Charge and Command all and singular Iustices of the Peace , Mayors , Sheriffs , Bayliffs , Constables , and other Our Officers , Ministers , and Subjects whatsoever , to be diligent , and use their best endeavours to search for and apprehend the said Earl , in all places whatsoever . And Our Will and Pleasure is , That if he be apprehended , they cause him to be safely carried to the Sheriff of that County where he shall be so apprehended ; and the said Sheriff safely to convey to the Lords of Our Privy Council , there to answer such things as shall be objected against him , and for such further course to be taken with him , as We by the Advice of Our Council shall direct : Whereof they and every of them whom it may concern , are to take special care , as they will answer the neglect thereof at their perils . And We do hereby further Publish and Declare , That if any person or persons after the publication of this Our Proclamation , shall directly or indirectly conceal or harbour the sai● Earl , or shall not use his or their best endeavour for his Discovery and Apprehension , as well 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 Command , with all severity .
